Lost at Sea

The place was clean, but the space couldn't accommodate 4 people. We assumed they would have a pull out in the couch but it was a blow-up mattress. We did not mess with the blow-up mattress. The parking situation was difficult at times to find nearby parking.

The place was perfect for my husband and I. We had a quick stay for our anniversary. Clean and beautiful. Host was responsive. Parking was whatever you could find on the street and although it was busy we were able to find a close spot both nights. Close walk to beach, park, and restaurants/bars. We would definitely stay here again.

We did not end up staying here after checking in and smelling the horrible odor from the unit which could be smelled from outside the unit as you approached it and inside it was so strong it became hard to breathe. We contacted the host after a reasonable time of airing out the unit, which did not work. We opened all windows and ran fans for several hours and left the property to allow it time to air out, to no avail. We informed the host of the smell after arrival and the first attempts to rid the heavy odors and we let them know we were leaving the property for a few hours and while the host apologized and claimed it was cleaning products, the host offered no solutions as the odor made our entire family sick. Further, the owner had advertised central air conditioning which they had a wall unit only that was old and required a new filter, it was filthy and dusty. The unit does not look like the pictures and is much smaller. They advertise sleeps four but there is one bed. We contacted the owner again upon return to the unit and expressed concern over health and that we wouldn’t be able to stay there with the heavy smell and asked for a refund and they refused and told us to contact VRBO and we are awaiting response for refund, VRBO did tell us to check into a hotel which we did immediately upon receiving the go ahead to do that. We’ve never had an experience like this one at a hotel or rental home in our world travels. We do not recommend this property or this host.

Perfect little cottage for 1 or 2 people. Lost at Sea is the upstairs of a back house with its own separate entrance up a flight of stairs. We loved the decor, the proximity to Crown Pointe and the walking path by the Bay. The people in the other units were friendly and quiet. The neighborhood is safe. Finding street parking was tricky over the weekend but fine during the week. One of the neighbors in a house next door smoked weed every evening. The smell was noticeable but tolerable. House was very clean and has an epic rain shower.

I had a great time at Lost at Sea! The location is perfect; walkable to the bay, coffee shops, and restaurants nearby. The unit had everything to make my stay enjoyable. The bed was comfortable and the shower had great water pressure. Parking wasn't bad - I always managed to find a spot on the street. Would stay here again!
