The Bear House

The old farmhouse has been renovated with a cute bear theme. It’s location is convenient for trips to the beaches, trails and nice local towns. The only downside was the ventilation, with no A/C. Otherwise, nice dining area with games for families indoors and out, nice open kitchen and laundry room.

The house wascute and clean. We all had concerns about the stairs to the bedrooms. There was no handrail and the railing stopped short of being safe

Definitely a clean house. Host communicated well. My coworkers that I traveled with enjoyed the property. Not far at all From activities/food. And for the price, not a bad spot. The only thing holding it back from a five star review, is the explanation more clear about sharing the entire building. Photos do seem to give extra volume to certain sections of the house. But not necessarily a bad thing just took us by surprise. We were traveling for work so really gave us a place to make our meals comfortably. And gave us a place to hang out at the end of our day. And again for the price, not too uncomfortable for sleep.

Hot

There is no a.c units of any kind in this house. The temperature reached up to 98 degress with only 2 old box fans to keep the whole house cool. This house is not worth the money they are charging unless its in the winter time.

Not what i expected.

The owner messaged me about three days before arriving, saying it might be delayed because of a busy cleaning schedule. We arrived about an hour and 40 minutes late and still hadn't gotten into the house. At that time, she told me it would be available no later than 7 (three hours after check-in). At 6:50, I asked about getting into the house. She didn't respond until after 7 and said it wasn't going to be ready for 30 more minutes. This wasn't the start to the vacation I wanted. Once we got in, the place was hot. They had two small AC units that helped with the heat but didn't cool the whole house. The plumbing was so bad we couldn't flush the downstairs bathroom toilet. The coffee bar that they talked about had coffee and half-and-half that was bad. The location wasn't bad, and that was a really good thing for us. We will never stay again nor recommend it for anyone.
