The floors had white paint splatters all over them throughout house. Not sure why one would think that’s pleasant to look at. Baseboards were dusty/dirty. Windows were not clean.Coffee pot didn’t fit coffee maker so the coffee got cold because it didn’t sit on the base. Mattress was uncomfortable on master bed. Wished television had cable vs Roku- due to internet being unstable, tv shows were unstable too.Over all, not a comfortable stay.

Great time.
Stayed in cottage number nine was very clean and the location of the cottage West pretty quiet we were very comfortable. The only downfall was we had no TV or Internet for a full day, but that was due to the Windy weather other than that. It was Good. Also, the host. Bobbi was awesome very courteous.

Family Beach Getaway
All Aboard was a wonderful place to stay. The beach was close along with food wuthin walking distance. The property was clean and well maintained. I chose this property as dog friendly. I didnt end up taking my dogs but will stay here again and bring the pups. Overall rating is a 5+. Thank you for the quick attention to no hot water, this was addressed within minutes of reporting. Definitely returning to this gem for another stay.
