Everything was perfect, the house the location our host. Thanks you for a great weekend.

Really loved the house and the location but weren't aware 3 of the beds were in the basement. Never found that in the 10 years coming here. No one would sleep there

We had the best time

When I told my family where we were staying they exclaimed "oh the party house!" The upstairs was cute- though needs some updating and a really thorough cleaning. We didn't use the downstairs at all, but had we needed those rooms, I would have felt badly for whomever used them. There's poison ivy by the outdoor shower. (Though again, no one was using it) The perks: location! Super quick walk to the beach. The front porch is cute and it was nice having coffee in the morning.

We booked this property because we wanted 4 bedrooms, however, 2 of the 5 bedrooms are downstairs and there is a very strong kerosene type smell. No one wanted to sleep downstairs. 2 of the 3 bedrooms upstairs had great mattresses (despite the horrible plastic waterproof coverings), one of the bedrooms has a very thin mattress and is not comfortable. I didn't see in the listing the need to bring ALL bedding not just sheets. Note the owner does not provide blankets or comforters/ duvets so you need to bring. The fact that the location is awesome (the very end of the island) easy access to the beach and a coffee shop/ cafe around the corner made this a great stay. Also the fact that we were able to bring our dog was a huge plus. I would definitely stay here again for a weekend away.

We had a wonderful peaceful weekend even though the hurricane put a damper on on some of the local festivities. We would definitely stay again! We love Holgate, and the house is in super close proxinimty of the beach!

We were super close to the beach & the nature preserve - wonderful location! The house was overall well stocked, but shabby and degraded in places to the point that I had thought the previous guests may have caused damage before we got there. One of the sets of window shades in the front room looked like a dog had chewed on them. And there was a mothball-like chemical smell in the basement so strong that one of my guests asked to sleep on the couch upstairs to get away from it. We opened windows downstairs to air it out, which helped, but the remnants of the smell still lingered the next couple of days.

Listed for12 guests but was very uncomfortable having anyone sleep in the basement bedrooms due to the creosote smell. There really wasn’t any common area for 12 people except for on back deck There was not enough kitchen equipment- actually only 3 coffee mugs. Overall the house did not seem well cared for. Renters should be aware they will need a fire stick especially if they have children or they will have to settle for basic cable. And we had to wait 45 minutes to move in because the housekeeper was still “cleaning”. Location was perfect so time spent out of the house was fine.
