There was a lot to love in this house. It was clean and cozy, the back patio and yard were lovely and spacious, the kitchen was well stocked, there were bonus towels (thanks!), the beds were comfortable. We also had some mini challenges, like one of the bedrooms having only outlets FAR from the A/C working, which meant no A/C. There was also a moldy smell inside of a downstairs cleaning closet; if you're not sensitive, it's no big deal and mostly just in that one spot. One of our guests IS sensitive, so this was problematic, but we made sure to keep that door closed the whole time. The Wifi was also crazy slow but worked most of the time. Luckily, we didn't want to be online most of the time, but I did have a few things to do and am noting this in case someone else has a partial working holiday! All in all, I'd book it again and was happy with the house and neighborhood.

Love the house! When we arrived it was nice and clean. Hopefully we will be back again.

We ended up leaving early (late last night 9/22/23) when I discovered mold in all the air conditioners and a colony fuzzy mold under the cabinet in the first floor bathroom/laundry room. Myself and my youngest became very ill while staying here with sinus issues, asthma attacks and sore throats. I am sure the owner of the house has no idea this is going on as the property is managed by an Asian company called Vacasa. I took MANY photos. Other issues include: 1) The house was impossible to find as Vacasa provided the wrong address. They said it was on Onondaga Street in a non-existent zip code. They then proceeded to send me down a variety of dead end dirt roads until we’re inadvertently found the house on Onondaga Road in a different zip code…in the pitch black darkness no less! 2) There were live roaches in the lighting fixtures. 3) There was a composting bin on the countertop filled with recently discarded food, which attracted ants. 4) While the kitchen was outfitted with all the necessary accoutrements to cook all our meals, the dishes in the cabinets were dirty and it looked like roach droppings on the silverware. All-in-all, it was just gross. We stayed five of our six nights because the Vineyard is amazing, but hastily gathered up my family and lifer last night because I discovered, while trying to find the root cause of the illness were were experiencing in the house, large deposits of black, grey and even orange mold throughout the house. Totally disgusting.

Lovely home in a secluded area of MV. We had three generations and it was great for all. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the mornings and evenings. A good place to rest after a day of activity. Was very clean and all amenities in working order. The beach supplies - chairs, umbrellas - were a welcome bonus.

No one on island to help us...crazy!

The Island Sanctuary is just okay. I went at peak time which I understand is more mo ey, but this house was WAY overpriced. Why they promote the lagoon in their description I have no idea. It smelled musty upon arrival.. The back deck chair was broken, cushion had a hole in it, the floorboards in the outside shower were not secured and lifted up in the air when stepped on. The water line on the refrigerator was not hooked up so I had to buy water and ice everyday. The microwave handle was broken with an apparent attempt at a duct tape fix. I tried to contact the designated contact person when the keurig stopped working and she didn't respond. At the risk of sounding like a Karen, I will say that the beds were very comfortable and it is roomy enough for 5 people. Keep looking though...you can find something better for the price!

I feel like it was a lot to ask for the bare minimum, but it was fine. Clean enough. Certainly out-dated and the window air conditioning units were really load and old.
