“Eventful, but not the good kind of eventful, and definitely not what I expected for our stay unfortunately!”
The spot was decent but I barely had time to explore the area. From the moment we arrived, everything went downhill: as we pulled up and walked toward the door—remember, it’s just me and two little kids—a loud bang and explosion erupted behind us. The kids ran terrified, and I turned to see smoke everywhere. I grabbed them while the attendant handed me the wrong code, so we couldn’t access our cottage, and the kids covered their ears, shaking. Suddenly police, fire trucks, and people swarmed the area, and someone had apparently dropped dynamite about 40 ft from where we stood. I put the kids in the car and had to leave the vicinity to calm them enough for a brief sleep; I couldn’t sleep either. My son spent the entire stay with his hands over his ears, and I felt awful for him; I’d never seen him so scared. I’m not blaming the owner, but a courtesy call checking on us would have eased the tension. The property was clean but needed work and didn’t match the photos online.
“We would definitely stay again.”
The place was very close to the beach—within walking distance—and it was quiet at night. The only downside was that the bedroom didn’t have a TV.
I have to say this was a complete disaster and a scam. I never got an email or confirmation for my $350 holding deposit, and it’s still pending. The house was nothing like the listing: dirty, infested with roaches, a broken towel rack, and almost no furniture—yet you demanded $350 for potential damages? What damages? The Wi‑Fi was wrong, and I kept calling just to get the correct details. The door didn’t even work properly—I was locked out trying to get in. This is blatant false advertising, and I’ll report it wherever possible. The host claims they’ve tried to contact me for a full refund, but you’ve never answered or called back. That’s all I need to know about how you run your business. My dad is a police officer, and I’ve already spoken with him. I’ll file a claim and do whatever it takes to get this handled. I expect my $350 returned immediately and a full refund for this nightmare. If I don’t hear back soon, this goes beyond a simple complaint.
