There should be at least 2 rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom, 2 rolls of paper towels in the kitchen, and back up trash bags in the kitchen for a house that accommodates 10 people. The bike instructions lock release codes should have been made easily available with beach/pool access instructions without me having to search for it on my email. Paying over 5,000.00 for a 3 night stay should have met the above expectations. The house was charming and we loved the spacious downstairs area and porch area. We hope to rent it again

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the home, especially the spacious downstairs living areas and porch, and that you found the property charming overall.
We’re sorry to hear that the starter supplies and arrival information did not meet your expectations. We do provide a standard starter set of essentials for each stay; however, we understand how important it is for larger groups to have sufficient quantities, and we appreciate your feedback regarding toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags for future improvements.
We also apologize for any difficulty locating the bike instructions and beach/pool access information. We understand how important it is for these details to be clearly provided and easily accessible upon arrival, and we will review how this information is shared with guests to improve the experience.
Thank you again for staying with us. We’re so glad you enjoyed the home overall and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
There was sand in the beds on arrival and an empty bag of chips by one bed. Several days into our stay we discovered the provided basket of folded beach towels were soaking wet. The bathroom pocket door fell off its hinges. The upstairs eagles nest bunk room for kids stayed extremely hot while other bedrooms are freezing. Location is fantastic though so we would consider returning!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the fantastic location and that you would consider returning.
We’re very sorry to hear about the cleanliness and maintenance issues you encountered upon arrival and during your stay, including the condition of the bedding, beach towels, and the bathroom door. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and your comments have been shared with our housekeeping and maintenance teams for immediate review and follow-up.
We also appreciate you noting the temperature imbalance in the upstairs bunk room. We understand how important consistent comfort is for all guests, especially children, and we will have our team assess the airflow and HVAC performance in that area.
Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention. We’re glad the location was a highlight of your stay, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide a much-improved experience in the future.

Just FYI…the bunk room is on the 3rd floor accessible by a steep ladder with no air conditioning. It worked fine for us & the temperatures were thankfully moderate, but if we had toddlers or warmer weather, it would have been a problem.

Thank you for sharing this helpful feedback! We’re glad to hear the bunk room worked well for your stay and that the weather was cooperative.
We do appreciate you pointing out the access and temperature considerations, as this can be important for families with younger children or during warmer months. Your insight is very valuable, and we’ll make sure it’s clearly communicated so future guests can plan accordingly.
Thanks again for staying with us—we’d love to host you again in the future!
My family and rescue dog LuLu loved this charming home so much! Great kitchen, really cool loft area for kids, and relaxing front porch with swing made us love this home. Can’t wait to go back soon!
2nd time staying at this property. We came in for the marathon and its location in town was perfect for walking over for the race. Home is well equipped and convenient to all the shopping, beach and restaurants.

Great location. Comfortable vacation home.
This home is situated close to the beach. We had plenty of space. Our family enjoyed our stay.
This has been one of my favorite rentals! This is a great location and I love how quiet the streets are. The mornings are so peaceful on the porch with coffee, surrounded by the beautiful American Beautyberry bushes! Would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful second stay at nobellas retreat! Great fit for our family and and easy access to everything!

Great proximity to the beach and seaside square. However, the home needs some attention as we had several minor issues through out the week. Overall ok but definitely needs some renovating soon.

Thank you for your feedback, Kelly. We're glad you enjoyed the location near the beach and Seaside Square. We appreciate you pointing out the minor issues and will be reviewing the home for needed updates. We hope to host you for an improved stay in the future.
Close to the beach and everything else. House is a bit dated and some new furniture/decor would make this home a 5. It is as nice for our family trip and would return.
