Mary and Honore were amazing hosts, very welcoming and generous. They helped us arrange transport from airport and around town and brougt us breakfast! House is near airport so convenient for an overnight stay but also not far from town for longer stays.House has basic facilities you may need. Value for cost.Mary and Honore accomdated a late check out also which was great.

It's very hard to give an honest review for this property! We had booked through bookabach for one night due to a flight schedule change. When we were picked up to go the house, the driver called the owner for directions and we were directed to a different house. There had been a problem with the booking and this house was booked out so the owner took us to one of his other properties. The other property was adequate for what we needed but it would have been really nice to have communication prior to arriving to discover we weren't staying where we expected! On the other hand, Mary and Honore our hosts were lovely and Honore drove us where we needed to go for free as he felt bad about the mistake. So highly rate our hosts, but did not rate the lack of communication! Probably could be sorted by just messaging to check the house is actually available before booking

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 22, 2026
Thank you for the feedback. I’d like to clarify a few points regarding your stay.
I had offered to personally pick up the guests free of charge, but they declined.
Later, I received a call from their driver who and gave him the exact location. If he took them elsewhere, I was not aware of that and unfortunately cannot be held responsible.
Regarding the accommodation, it is true that the house they booked was already occupied due to a duplication error on another booking channel. I acknowledge this was my mistake for not blocking the calendar properly.
To resolve the issue, I accommodated them on another house on the same property. The guests expressed to me verbally that they enjoy their stay there, and I was glad to hear that.
With the above feedback and comments about communication, I am committed to improve the booking process.
I am glad that they recognized the effort I made to their comfort, including providing free transport.
We will do better.
Thank you,
Honore
