A bit less than impressed with this stay. It seemed like a nice location, and it honestly is a nice remote area. He house wasn’t too far off the road and directions were clear on how to proceed to the house. The house is smaller than we expected but didn’t need anything large either - so no real complaints there. Immediately upon entering the house we noticed a unique odor coming from inside. Definitely not related to sewage or any rodents, so no fear about that. But it still an unpleasant odor to have to smell for the entire night. An open kitchen window had some ants crawling just above the sink. Small annoyance but the ants hadn’t set up shop in the house so not a huge issue. In the kitchen were provided brochures and maps of the area/islands for your perusal. The kitchen was fully stocked with coffee maker, full fridge/freezer, dishes, pots/pans, etc. Host even a provided a local coffee sample. The shower water was very hot and had a clean bathroom. The bedroom was clean with a very comfortable bed, though the two pillows were not very comfortable.
Main issue arose when I had gotten some dirt on my leg from a hike and had washed and wiped some of it off with the provided towel. The host (Vickie) contacted me very soon after we had left the house and stated that she would have to charge me $15 to replace the towel because the stain would not come out. I replied that it was just dirt and, as common with most dirt, should come out quite easily with detergent in the washing machine. She then stated she would try to wash it and let me know... WHY WOULD SHE TRY TO MAKE ME PAY TO REPLACE A TOWEL WITHOUT EVEN TRYING TO WASH IT FIRST??? She then replied that she had washed it and it hadn’t come out - provided a picture of it (allegedly washed) and said I could keep the towel after paying for it and after paying for shipping - I declined, obviously. Towel was not worth $15; maybe half that.
Overall, a nice place but with some minor hiccups. Simple fixes (air freshener in the house, securing the windows before guests arrival, providing better pillows) and of course not trying to BS someone into paying $15 for a towel without even trying to wash it first, could make this place a very nice stay.
