My husband, our two dogs and myself loved our stay at Cory and Angela's! We had appts in Huntington and Newport, and needed somewhere we could chill that allowed dogs. The house is so cute, with the skateboard decor, video games, ramps. We got to learn a little about Cory too, with the articles about him in the house - great personal touch!
Everything was clean, and check in was effortless. *This place looks exactly like the owners photos! Backyard was fenced (though there's a couple small holes, so I'd be careful if you've got little dogs that are troublemakers), with a great couch and out door fan.
*Feeling safe is one of my biggest issues in airbnb's, the fenced in driveway goes a long way to making me feel good, definitely felt safe here.
I'm giving this 5 stars because of all the above, and how easy it was to bring our dogs without an outrageous security deposit. As for some of the negatives in the other reviews, see below :)
Shower/Water - We didn't have a ton of hot water (we left the thermostat where we were told and didn't touch it!). One day it was fine, the next we had maybe 5 minutes. I feel like since this is a duplex, it may be a shared water heater.
Tenant with kid and dog - the first night was a couple guys renting the front unit, and not the permanent tenant we read about. Second and third night, it was the tenant though we never had an issue with a child or dog running loose in the gated driveway.
Heat - it was warm and muggy, about 85 each day we were down there. The house does get warm, and there are no screen doors to air it out. There is an AC unit in the bedroom, and a small circulating fan in the living room. We moved that to the bedroom, but still had to sleep with the AC unit on and it was LOUD. You just have to figure out how to be comfortable, no big deal for us.
The only real issue we had was with the cable, the internet kept going out. We didn't bring anything to cast, and I know most people won't be watching tv... this was due to a medical appt I had, which required me to stay in after my procedure. Once again, NO BIG DEAL.
Thanks again, Cory and Angela :)
