About this house rental

buildings have central air conditioning and are fully winterized for off season use. Sleeps up to 15.

There are 2 fully equipped kitchens, 2 washer/dryers, outdoor furniture, 2 gas grills, and a large yard for entertaining.

The location is top notch as you can hear the waves from the beach at night, Andy's Way is within a 1/2 mile, and you can walk to the North Light House. Town is a few minutes drive away.

The condition of this property did not meet our expectations. It was not well cleaned upon arrival. The property manager was responsive and had the cleaners come out again. Pros: large outdoor space, firepit, covered outdoor dining area, location near mansion beach Cons: condition of the interior of the main house and guest cottage was not good. (We did not use the bunk house). A lot of bugs, cobwebs, rooms with missing or broken blinds, several windows with no mosquito screens, malfunctioning lights and mice in guest cottage. Extremely low ceilings in guest cottage living room. Uncomfortable for our family member who is over 6 ft tall.

Overall great time at an expansive property that is located walking distance to Mansion Beach, Andy's Way, Clayhead Trails, and the North Lighthouse. At the time we stayed here we had access to three buildings. Main house (historic Daniel Mott homestead) with a full kitchen, two full baths, outdoor shower, three bedrooms, and a pull out couch. The cottage with two bedrooms, kitchen, bath, and the bunk house with two bunkbeds, a sink, and an outdoor shower. More then enough room for the 10 people we had and it could easily accommodate more. Owners were very responsive to questions during our stay. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinner every night. Granted it wasn't complete sets of expensive pots and pans but what was there got the job done and did it well. It was an overall good renting experience and we would definitely return to this property if we are in a position to in the future.

Filthy condition throughout (eg human hairs in the bed, excrement on the toilet seat, dirty dishes and cutlery in the sink, etc). General condition of property very poor too with ripped sofa, heating not working in one area, generally bad maintenance, etc. Absolutely disgusting. So bad, we contacted VRBO who were unable to resolve and we checked out within 24 hours. We still paid for whole stay despite cutting our vacation short and having to pay extra to change our ferry back to the mainland. Owner called us a couple of weeks later and acknowledged that the place was not cleaned and did not receive any refund or apology just an attitude. Do not waste your money like we did. We are more than $1,000 out of pocket for a stay we never completed.

We had a great two weeks at The Homestead. The property is large and beautiful and the house is as pictured with a historic feel, key updates for comfort, and a relaxed, unfussy vibe. It was great to be a quick drive or walk to Mansion beach (we found driving to be the thing when taking beach chairs and such, but enjoyed morning and evening walks as well). It was also a short walk to Andy's Way and of course an easy drive to town and such. We enjoyed watching deer visit the edge of the property every evening, lounging by the fire pit, reading a bit about the history of the house, and of course relaxing on the covered front deck. If anyone's wondering, the downstairs pull-out sofa is quite comfortable! There's also an outdoor shower (unenclosed but handy), which we'd wondered about before our arrival. We were quite content so had little need to communicate with Chuck and Emily, but they responded quickly when we did. Thanks to both of you for sharing your home!

We had a wonderful visit, the house is very comfortable and we loved making dinner and eating on the front porch after long, lovely days at the beach. We'll definitely be back!
