Beautiful Bayfront with Sanctuary Private Beach

I had extremely high hopes based on the initial correspondence with the renter. He was very responsive and even went above and beyond to address my concerns prior to our stay. He went so far as to send me video of the "private beach" access as this was the primary reason for us booking the location and I was concerned about just how much shoreline we'd have access to. Prior to our arrival he warned us to bring bug spray as the temps were warming up and they were becoming more prevalent and I thanked him for the heads up. Little did I know how bad the bug infestation would be. Upon arrival we were greeted by a swarm of biting flies. I mean they literally surrounded our car the minute we pulled up and continued to be an issue anytime we were outside. Upon checking in and inspecting the home I noticed an abundance of spider webs (with spiders in them) and what appeared to be rodent feces in the utensils drawer as well as the cabinets with pots and pans. In both bathrooms the poorly fitted toilet seats were so loose they practically came off the toilets and we had to hover to avoid sitting directly on the toilet bowl. I advised him of this and sent pictures asking about the feces. He responded that it was not rodent feces and offered 10% off for the bugs. Also we did not get to enjoy the beach because no amount of Deet or Citronella can combat a swarm of biting flies. Please deep clean the home and treat it for pests prior to renting again.

They did not tell us until after we got there that they always boil the water when they stay there. There were things there that other guests complained about that they never changed. The water wasn't even turned on , so obviously the place wasn't cleaned. The were good about refunding our money.

Family friendly.

Beautiful property, perfect getaway location, there are no stores so get your stuff before you come into town but it’s lovely!

The property was just as described. The sunsets were stunning. We saw a fox family on two evenings playing in the neighbor’s yard. The remote location is perfect if you want to get away from it all in a rural area. The host was responsive and friendly.
