Something for everyone!

The property is novel in that it includes a gym area, an arcade, and a theater room. The youngsters in our group especially enjoyed the theater! The kitchen provided all the utensils, dish ware and pots and pans that one could need. The outside yard was spacious, and we set up a volleyball net (our own) which was fun. I would recommend this rental to anyone!

What a great experience!

When you walk into the house, you are stunned by how accurately the pictures portray the beauty of the home. It is easily the cleanest VRBO home we’ve ever stayed in. Communication with hosts Sharon and Rebecca was excellent. They were very supportive throughout our stay. The check in and check out process was effortless. My younger kids loved the video games in the lower level arcade! The older kids enjoyed the jetted tubs. If you are a nature/animal lover you will love the backyard visits from the wild bunnies, birds and other animals. You are .5 from Big Daddies ice cream and a fantastic prime rib at the Bull and Claw. This place has it all to say nothing of it’s proximity to various beautiful beaches. Trust me when I tell you, you won’t regret staying in this “beautiful mansion” as my kids call it. If given the chance, my family and I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great Potential; Left us feeling disappointed

The pre-arrival interactions with the owners were great including when they notified us that one of the showers would not be available. One of the owners met us at the house and showed us around, she brought us some homemade jelly as an apology because the shower was out of order. We have rented many homes over the years and this is my first less than stellar review. I was perplexed over some issues with this property including a lack of basic supplies such as spices (though the listing said they were included), and the limited stash of toilet paper and garbage bags. Asked the owner where to find garbage bags and she said normally renters brought their own. There was no information that we'd be required to provide these things and never have I ever been asked to when renting a home. During our stay we dealt with a recurring issue with mice. I notified the property owner after the first "visit" and she mentioned the house was serviced by Orkin and offered antibacterial wipes to clean up the droppings. We notified her of subsequent issues but there was no offer to remedy the situation with a visit from pest control or other suggestion. We had to keep our food locked up in coolers and/or the refrigerator to protect from the mice. We attempted to use the gas grill and, prior to putting any food on it, it caught on fire and we had to use a fire extinguisher to put it out. There were bright spots for sure but we would not consider returning to this property.

Unique and Amazing House

We stayed in mid February, three brothers and their wives for a short winter getaway and to reconnect. The host, Sharon, met us at the front and gave us a tour of the house and everything we needed to know for our stay. This house was unique and unlike any other house we have experienced. The entire lower level/basement is set up like a cobblestoned street with store front windows with a theatre complete with a light up marquee, game/aracade room, living room, laundry room, full bathroom, and exercise room. The house was immaculately clean and comfy. Various areas to gather and relax as well as a large cook in kitchen with everything you need and several dining tables of various sizes to choose from along with seating for six at the counter top. The beds were very comfortable and clean, water pressure great with walk in showers. The home was decorated very nicely and great attention. The host was very easy to communicate with and very helpful and pleasant. We loved this house and would not hesitate to rent again in the future. Wonderful stay! We highly recommend it and plan on coming back!

Great vacation house!

My family and I had a wonderful time staying at this house during our trip to Wells this summer. The owners are very kind, friendly, and were extremely responsive to any questions throughout the booking process and during our stay. The house is lovely, and very comfortably accommodated our large group (ages 2 to 76!). It was also located centrally near the beach, great restaurants, mini golf, and other activities. our favorite part was the extensive seating available in the dining area, which was so helpful for our large family!

Everything inside of the house is so nicely put together, you can tell that a lot of work has gone into it. The owners were very, very nice and super easy to communicate with.

The most amazing weekend !!!

We just returned from our long weekend at this amazing home with our 4 children, their significant others, our 4 grandchildren and my husband's mother. To say we had an absolutely beautiful weekend would be a true understatement. The home has everything you could possibly want and very comfortably accommodated all 15 of us. The kitchen is so well stocked that if they don't have it, you don't need it! The master is something dreams are made of. And the overall comfort of the house is just hard to explain. I felt right at home all weekend and didn't want our stay to end. Rebecca and Sharon are consummate hosts and were always there to quickly help answer any questions we had. I could not recommend this property more! Thank you, Sharon and Rebecca !!!
