Shore Thing Retreat

Very Good
Traveller Type: Business Traveler
  : Beautiful house, comfortable beds, nice view! Kitchen has everything we needed. Bathrooms very nice - low water pressure though. I liked the big beat up looking dining table. Art work is nice. General peaceful feeling in the house. Big open area really hard to get warm but space heaters provided. Construction on both sides of this property but grateful not much going on during our stay. Fenced side yard for doggies. Previous renter didnt clean up after their dog, so that was unpleasant. I just loved this house.
  : Some flexibility and responsibility rather than empty apologies from management. We arrived at 4 which is the time stated wed arrive. Then we waited for about 45 minutes for the cleaner to finish cleaning.. She had personal issue that gave her a late start. Management would not allow us to check out a little bit later. We were just two people and didnt use most of the house. Also there were piles of dog poop in side yard. It takes a long time to get the house warm with just the wall heaters. Space heaters were found in one of the closets. The house is lovely, peaceful, equipped kitchen, nice places to relax. A few tacky cosmetic things- broken window shades in bedroom. Curtain wrinkled with hem safety pinned.

  : We loved the layout of the house, the view of the sound, the ping pong table, comfy beds, big windows, deck and privacy in the woods. The bedrooms are spacious and lovely. The kitchen and living room space is nice for us to gather. Nice to have games available. So happy to be able to bring our dog. We really loved our time here!
  : Wished we had afternoon sun and easy access to water, but loved it anyway. Some supply issues, but those were always attended to right away.Overall, this is a great house that has been nicely updated and could be really fabulous. The potential is here, but quality of details fall short of expectations:kitchen supplies are not quality i.e. coffee maker, toaster, dishware, fridge is loud, etc. Heat system hard to figure out (though were surprised to need it at all this week). Could use some better lighting in the living room (a few lamps or torch light and the kitchen fluorescent lights could use an update). Would be great to up the quality of the deck furniture. Towels are rough and uncomfortable to use. Yard a bit scruffy. Some attention to quality upgrades would make a big difference and make us feel better about the price.
