  Please do yourself a favor and stay far away from this house. Upon entering, the smell of mildew is overwhelming then you come upon the buckling paneled walls in nearly every room. The grate that covers the air filter was covered in dust and if you have the strength to wrestle the windows open, there aren’t any screens. Speaking of windows - the one bedroom window of the back porch that actually opens can easily be opened by anyone standing on the back porch. We left after being in home for just o er 12 hours due to air quality yet are only being given a partial refund and are still be required to pay a full cleaning fee

  We’re sorry to hear that the home didn’t meet your expectations, especially given the challenging weather during your stay. The homeowner would like to provide additional context in response to your concerns:
  - The damp smell you noted may have been amplified by the Nor’Easter that coincided with your stay; heavy coastal storms can increase humidity and moisture in older homes like ours.
  - Our cleaning team, which was in the property two days prior, did not report any odor or mildew, and we haven’t received similar comments from other guests.
  - Due to the home’s vintage coastal design, the original windows can be more difficult to open, and we do not install screens as they’re not compatible with the structure
  - The bedroom window on the back porch was damaged after being forced open and required repairs following your stay, though we did not charge you for this.
  - Although you chose to leave early, our team still issued a refund that exceeded your original request in an effort to be fair, given the circumstances.
  We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve the guest experience.

  Charming house, right on the beach. Fully equipped with whatever you need in the kitchen. Loved both porches. Would definitely stay there again.

  Charming house, right on the beach. Fully equipped with whatever you need in the kitchen. Loved both porches. We used the wind phone down the street several times.
