Pet-Friendly Washington Retreat w/ Hot Tub & Deck!

Reviews

• Nothing fancy but it was comfortable

  4/5

  The beds are comfy and there's plenty of space. The hot tub was heavenly and the house is conveniently located, but is oddly located between hotels. Could have been cleaner. Overall it was good.

  3/5

  The location was GREAT!. This home was nicely situated within walking distance to the beach and shopping. Also easy to enter and adequate parking.

  It is nicely furnished with lots of room for everyone. The opened concept for the kitchen, living room and dining room gave everyone space to sit comfortably and enjoy each others company.

  Kitchen was well equipped and included both a drip and Keurig coffee maker with enough coffee for a couple days. There was plenty of cookware and dishes and it was nice to have a dishwasher. The kitchen had cleaning supplies, foil and plastic wrap as well.

  The beds were comfortable and bathrooms clean. with soaps and shampoos.. There was plenty of extra wash cloths, bath and beach towels.

  The outdoor fire pit was nice and the hot tub enjoyable.

• The house is poorly maintained and not enough supplies were provided for our booking.

  2/5

  We were a party of 12 and booked this property for 6 nights. It seemed that the managers did not pay attention to this because when we arrived there were not enough towels and the sofa bed had no sheets or blankets. There was not enough dishwasher soap or garbage bags or toilet paper for 12 people for a week, and we had to argue with the contact to get more. Can you believe having to argue over getting a handful of extra toilet paper rolls?

  The coffee pot carafe does not fit the coffemaker, the only way we could get it to work without spilling all over was to wedge spoons under it. Half of the toaster did not work. One of the toilets ran constantly. All of the closets were locked, and there were not enough hangers for the few spaces that could be used. The furniture is worn and the house is poorly maintained.

  We repeatedly tried to contact the local host - no one responded over the weekend (our first day was a Saturday). When we finally reached her she said she would pass on the message to the owner but we only received more supplies three days into our trip. The local contact said they were only there to drop stuff off. None of the faulty appliances got fixed. We paid a lot of money for this property and are very displeased. We only give it a second star because eventually we did get more supplies.

  The good things I can say - the house is in a good location. The hot tub was clean, and the dishwasher worked fine (once we were given enough soap).

  Manager's Response:

  From the owner: "So glad to hear you enjoyed the location, that the hot tub was clean and the dishwasher was working. We are sorry things were not as you expected and have addressed all concerns listed with the local contact and encouraged adding additional supplies be added for big groups."

• Great logistics annoying shortfalls

  2/5

  We booked this property because it was dog friendly, had enough beds and space and a good layout for our reactive dog

  The cable did not work on 2 of 3 tvs. I messaged with the property manager on this but it wasn’t resolved.

  There was an unpleasant smell in two of the bedrooms. We ended i up p buying candles and room spray for that.

  The kitchen had a few things too. The oven was too dirty to use and the dishes were wet. We had to clean them to feel safe using them. And the keurig didn’t work either.

  It was a nice time with family but we probably won’t select this property again.

  Hi Bonnie, we want our guests to have a seamless and enjoyable stay, and we apologize for the issues you experienced. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  
  - The local guest contact ensured that two TVs were working properly and that the third TV will be repaired.
  - As the property is near the beach, a dehumidifier is installed to help reduce moisture and any associated odors.
  
  We’re glad you enjoyed the location and thank you for taking the time to leave your review!

• Family vacation fun!

  3/5

  We chose this property because of the proximity to the beach and shopping. It was big enough for my large family. The kids loved the basketball hoop in the driveway.

  Unfortunately there was a musty smell throughout the house. The drawers in the kitchen were stiff and very squeaky. The knives we dull so even cutting tomatoes was like sawing wood. The grill was so dirty we bought a cheap scrub brush just to clean it so we could grill. This home fell short of our expectations.
