4/10 Poor

Brendan K.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We could have gotten past the fact that the house was not the cleanest or the fact that there was really no place to hung your clothes. All the bedroom closet were full on the host personal items. Most of the kitchen cabinets were also full of the host personal food, two cabinets were full of spices, most expired. And really no sets of dishes to eat off of. The smell and taste of the water was horrible. We couldn’t even brush your teeth without a using a bottle of water to rinse. We spent a lot of money on bottle water. And bathing was nearly possible to the point we left a day earlier than planned. Pictures posted of the web site definitely did not match our expectations on the place. The back deck was nearly unusable due to the dog poop all over the outside carpet. We could not find a fire pit. Our host did check on us and communicated well. We were disappointed with your stay.
Side yard trash all over.
Possible the fire pit??
Back yard with what appears to be a sewage leak

Terrible

This is Mary’s home when she rents her house she just packs her bags and stays at her daughters. She leaves her personal belongings behind like food in the refrigerator, cabinets and freezer. Also her clothes in the closets, shoes with no place for our clothes. Family photos, mail on the table, obituaries. Should not be a rental property. We did not stay and did not hear from her about a partial credit. She did say she would take her things and put them in the attic when we told her we weren’t staying.

Cozy house, Great host

We had a great time at this property for our trip to Williamsburg! It’s a short drive to get to most of the sites and attractions and it is very nearby several really great restaurants and coffee shops! Mary was awesome and very hospitable. Great communication when a few technical problems arose before we got there but she was there working hard to make sure it was handled before we checked in! Great time!

Griend bday weekend for bush gardens and historic williamsburg

House was very comfy and clean. Close enough to everything we did, but far enough out for quiet relaxation. Host kept in contact to make sure there was nothing we needed and helped with info on where to go to chrck out history of the area. If ever in that area again would definitely book again.

We enjoyed our stay but the property could use some rejuvenation and decluttering. The leftover food should be removed between guests. Mary was very easy to deal with and pleasant.

Big disappointment

Arrived at property, son had allergic reaction in the house, heavy use of air freshners, overwhelming artificial scent, could not stay at property. Many personal items in kitchen cupboards, refrigerator, freezer, bathrooms, basement. Appears as though it is a daily residence of someone, not a rental property. No response from host to address our concerns. Had to stay in local hotel instead

We really enjoyed our stay in Gloucester County on a recent kayaking trip. This property was a short drive to town with lots of restaurants to choose from. We enjoyed Mobjack Bay to kayak. The host was very nice and welcoming. Plenty of parking. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt very safe. We hope to return in the future.

Cute, quiet and cozy

This property was very cute and cozy. Large enough for my family of 6. The property manager is very nice and made sure to check in with us to see if we needed anything and was able to provide recommendations of things to do in the area. If you like being in the quiet nature, but still close enough to the hustle and bustle things to do, this is a great option for you!
