"Beautiful Views but Significant Issues with Docking, WiFi, and Room Access"
We recently stayed at this rental home. While the view was beautiful and the accommodations were good, several issues severely impacted our experience. Firstly, the WiFi was inconsistent and practically unusable, even outside frequent power outages. This was extremely frustrating, causing TV buffering and issues checking in for flights. Reliable internet is a basic necessity. Secondly, the dock was a major disappointment. It's unsuitable for securely docking a boat, especially in winds over 10 mph, posing a significant risk of damage. When we asked to use the owner's lift we were told their boat couldn't be moved as they had left the keys in the US. This forced us to find alternative docking for five nights, incurring extra expenses. In winds over 15 mph the dock's problems worsen. Tides, boat traffic, wind, and storms rock your boat off the moorings as waves reverberate off the seawall, creating a washing machine effect even in light winds. Not calming when relying on your boat for vacation. The owner has a boat lift and a 6-person cart available on the property but not to renters. Offering these amenities would vastly improve the experience. Advertising regarding dockage is misleading. Lastly one bedroom is separate from the main house and only accessible from outside, which was not disclosed in the listing. This was problematic during bad weather as guests had to brave the elements to reach their room. Overall, great views and helpful caretakers, but will not be returning.
