Bedrooms were upstairs but the stairs are so steep, and under the roof pitch you have to crouch down to use them. Bringing luggage up is a nightmare.

There is a door at the bottom of the stairs, that can be hooked shut - god forbid if a fire broke out and the door was hooked. Cleanliness was fair. Not suited for anyone with children or mobility issues. I can't believe it passed any kind of building or fire codes - Never again.

We started with the assorted cheese and meats. Our delightful waitress arrives with a our charcuterie consistent of a delicious mix of nutty, creamy goat cheese, a savory cheese with a peppery truffle taste and an assortment of delicious meats- to the side, two pieces of crusty herb bread = heaven. For dinner I had the strip steak and my husband the butter fried Pork chops. Every bit of these two dishes was superb. I mean it. The last meal I had equivocal to this was in the north end in Boston. Is it the olive oil? Maybe. My bet is the chef just loves what he does because this food is damn good.

We rented a property managed by Salt and shine rental, Casa de Sol on Bayview Rd in York, ME. The…read morekitchen was updated with new appliances, cabinets, flooring, etc. The information on the website said it sleeps 8. When we arrived we realized that only two twin beds had comfortable mattresses, the two queens had old mattresses with no back support so that your legs were higher than your body (first floor bedroom). The mattress was probably a 30 year old Bob's discount mattress (it was completely sealed in a zippered mattress cover, so you wouldn't see how yellowed in color it was) which probably was never great and now just old and worn out. There were two twin beds upstairs with pieces of foam pads, not real mattresse. When you laid on them you could feel the slates in the box spring. When we complained about the beds, the agent said that they never had heard this complaint before and were surprised. When we told them that it was on reviews on VRBO (the last two reviews), they changed their story to, "We never had anyone tell us directly". I don't like when agents are deceptive. The upside is that when we complained they replaced the twin mattresses upstairs but didn't replace the bad queen mattress in the first floor bedroom or the queen mattresse upstairs, they put a piece of foam under it, which didn't fix the old mattresses. When you rent a property, the most important thing are the beds and this queen bed was the worst bed we have ever slept on. The bedrooms are of good size and get nice natural light. The bathroom upstairs is updated and big with alot of open space, but it could be nicer if they had another cabinet to put toiletries on, especially if you are going to have 6 people upstairs. Another deception, was it said they had cable tv, but when we arrived, they didn't, just the spectrum app, which isn't cable. So no local news and weather. The TV's did have Netflix, etc. which was good. The house had adequate pans, utensils, etc. They only had 8 dinner plates, a hodge podge of bowls, glasses. If you have a group of 8 persons staying there, you will need to wash dishes and glasses after each meal. Refrigerator, dishwasher were new. Sink was new also. They did not have a dish rack in the house, so no where to dry hand washed dishes other than the counter. They had one small dish towel, fortunately we brought some from home, but they should have dish towels as a standard. Washer and dryers worked well. The systems in the house were noisy. The water heater made a racket when running which is in a closet on the first floor. When water was running in the house there was noise (buzzing) coming from the water main which is under a cabinet in the kitchen. There were air conditioners in the bedrooms, which were old and loud, but worked, but no air conditioning in the main living area. It wasn't too hot the week we were there, so it wasn't a problem. Its unfortunate that the houses beds are so bad. My advice is not to rent this house unless they replace the two queen beds alone. Also I won't rent a home from Salt and Shine Rental. There is no where to review a house on their website, so you don't know what you are renting and I no one likes someone who spins the truth and treats customers like they are ignorant. I would rent from airBnB or VRBO where you know what you are getting through reviews. We should have read the reviews on VRBO before renting, but we did not, so we know better now.

The cabins were a perfect fit for our family. We loved the location. The cabins were cute and had recently been renovated. However, when we arrived, 2 of the cabins were in less than acceptable condition. One cabin was in decent shape as far as cleanliness. The next cabin, the floors were dirty. We had to sweep, vacuum and mop the floors upon arrival. The last cabin was absolutely filthy. They were covered in dog hair and dirt. We had to sweep, vacuum and mop the floors. There was sand on the mattress protectors, hair in the tub, dirty cups in the cabinets, dirty and clogged coffee pot, the grill was not clean and the bathroom door would not latch. We spent hours upon our arrival cleaning, scrubbing and repairing. We took pictures and emailed Bill about the conditions of 2 of the 3 cabins. He did not believe us and said he had inspected and the cabins were clean ... "we must've dragged in the dirt when we arrived." However, the next day, he did call and apologize. He had not seen the pictures with the dog hair, etc. He did say that it was unacceptable and "what could he do to make us happy." After some thought, we decided a refund of the cleaning fees was appropriate since we had had to clean everything upon our arrival. After some back and forth, Bill agreed. However, he changed his mind because he said the cleaning fees had already been given to the cleaning company (the "cleaning company" was the owners of the property; not a professional cleaning company). He then stated that he would refund 1/2 the cleaning fees out of his own pocket and the owner would pay the other 1/2 because "vacations are supposed to be stress free." We told him we would leave the cabins broom cleaned. The last response we received was "I thought you were going to leave them cleaner than they were. I feel like you are taking advantage but it's not worth fighting over." We definitely left the cabins cleaner than they were! However, the point of the refund was because we had had to spend a great deal of our time cleaning UPON our arrival. We weren't requesting the refund because we would do the cleaning for the next guests! We had to do a major cleaning for our own week. Unfortunately, Bill did not live up to his agreement. Not only did we NOT receive any refund of our cleaning fees, Bill was rude in his responses to us. The whole situation was unacceptable and created stress for our family during the week.

#805 Ocean Harbour South Condo…read more If I could rate this a 0/5 stars I would have: I'm a traveling nurse and found this condo online via this Florida Rentals website. I showed up to this condo a couple nights before I was to start my new assignment. I love the beach. Florida is one of my most favorite places in the world so I was excited to begin this assignment. When I arrived, the pictures online did not reflect the current state of the condo whatsoever. There was mold growing on the counter, the beds had mold growing on the bedspreads and sheets, trash still in the trashcans, sand and dirt all over the balcony, food and stains all over the couch -- and more mold. There was leftover food in the cupboards, the counter was sagging so much that I was unable to even close the dishwasher. The toilet seat in the bathroom had been broken off -- and get this -- it was hidden behind the toilet. Simply unbelievable. I later entered the kitchen and found one of the outlets sparking! I also found dirty laundry (from who knows how long ago) sitting in the washer as well. The drawers and cabinets in the kitchen were decomposing and covered in mold as well. When I contacted the owner, Leo, detailing the condition of his condo, he told me his crew had already come through and cleaned the place. I told him there was no way this place was in renting condition and I expected a full refund as I had already paid for an entire month of rent. He said he would talk with the Realtor, Bill Jones (from York, Maine) and get back with me. For the next week Len and Bill dodged my calls, making excuses for why the condo was in such a terrible condition but then when I told them I was demanding the return of my money, Len usually would say, "Oh, hey Luke? My father's doctor is calling me. I need to take this call. I'll call you right back." This trick worked on me a couple times but after he repeatedly used it, and then failed to return my calls I finally understood what was going on. I finally got my money returned but it was seriously like pulling teeth. I have a friend who lives in the same condo complex and as of last week (12/30/21) she said that the condo still has not been cleaned (per her friend the maintenance man) but that Len and Bill are still trying to rent the place out. PLEASE, STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS RENTAL! THESE MEN ARE CROOKS AND THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE A BUCK.

The two of us sat at the bar…read moreand were helped by the male bartender with the ravishing eyes (I'm sure he knows who he is - lol). My friend loves the supper rolls, so we started there and I got a cup of clam chowder. The portions were big and the chowder was a great flavor and consistency - not too thick or too runny. The drinks we ordered were also really good. I made the mistake of getting a regular espresso martini and my friend got the special one with the horchata. I tasted hers and immediately hated myself because it was so good! I had a really well made rye manhattan afterwards - that guy can mix a great drink! And, the cocktail glasses were so classy! 1 star was removed because I ordered the mussels as my entrée and they came out when I was barely halfway into my soup. That is a big pet peeve of mine as I like to finish my appetizer, sit for a few minutes, and then go to the main course. I don't love it when the main is sitting there getting cold as I'm trying to finish my first course. For that reason, I sent them back. They looked great, so I would really like to go back at some point and try them. The restaurant was really good overall, so I definitely want to come back.
