Was unable to check in due to a car being in the one parking spot provided, and the entire road being torn up and being redone, leaving no street parking. Bulldozer was in front of the house along with no parking signs and I was asked to park anywhere I could fit, despite it saying no parking, from the host. It was then suggested to me to drop one of us off and our children, while the other parent finds parking somewhere down the road. Which there was none, and that was not part of the listing, to have to park and walk. This all happened at 1:30 in the morning with the host being extremely rude to me, a woman having surgery 5 hours from the time we were on the phone. Had to find a hotel and squeeze 6 of us in two queen size beds. My children heard the entire conversation on speaker in which one of my 11 year olds said they have never heard anyone talk to his mother that way and was distraught. Owner knew about construction and failed to let anyone know as well. He said to me “That was supposed to be over by now”. Worst experience I have ever had with renting from anyone. Hotels included.

We had a great stay. My teen boys all had their own beds which was perfect for our family. Great and quiet location and short drive to all that we wanted to see. There is construction happening on the street, but it didn’t affect us as we were constantly out and about. Host was responsive. Would stay here again in the area!

Back cove neighborhood was really cute…house is fine and enough space for our family of 8 but there were no amenities (toiletries, etc) and one bathroom for so many people was a bit challenging. Otherwise house was clean and location was nice!

Great place. Washer and dryer in home. Sadly lots of construction on the street during our stay but did not interfere with stay except for the early morning trucks. Should be a nicely paved road in a few weeks. Thank you.

We had a great time staying in the Back Cove! The house has so much charm and was so comfortable for us girls! We loved the walkability of the area- we walked down the street and right by the water every day! The bedrooms are comfortable and the upstairs room is quite spacious- we were able to sleep 10 very comfortably. I highly recommend!

RI family time

Location was great, loved walking the Back Cove Bike Trail. Close to downtown but still in a quiet friendly neighborhood. Our only difficulty was that I did not realize the 3 floor configuration and had 2 disabled family members with us. We made it work and had a great time.
