Beautiful brand new home in Ocean Pines

James and his friends took very good care of the house

We enjoyed you as guests very respectful and followed departure instructions perfectly. Thank you for staying with us twice hope to see you again. Karri

We always strive to create a welcoming, safe, and respectful environment for all of our guests, and we’re sorry to hear that you felt uncomfortable during your stay. To clarify, the security cameras are only installed on the exterior of the home—never inside. These cameras are in place for both our protection and our guests’ safety, especially because we do not live on-site. They help us monitor the property for things like unexpected activity, potential disturbances, or safety issues—not to “watch” anyone. We have absolutely no interest in invading anyone’s privacy. Regarding your request to have additional guests over for the holiday: we granted permission as a courtesy, but unfortunately, the number of guests and vehicles far exceeded what was communicated. This led to neighbor complaints and violated our house rule of a 4-car maximum, which is also stated in the listing. Our message asking to scale back was not due to surveillance but a response to these real-time concerns brought to our attention. Lastly, while we’re glad you felt the home was in good condition, we did find damage after your departure—two wall-mounted doorstops were completely ripped from the drywall, requiring repairs. We chose not to charge for this, even though it was unexpected and not mentioned by you. We always aim to be fair and reasonable hosts, and we’re proud of the many positive reviews we’ve received from guests who follow the house rules and respect the space. We hope this response helps clarify what happened.
