It was a great place with a fun beachy feel. Spotlessly clean and as advertised. Great location! We particularly appreciated that it was wheelchair accessible so my limited mobility mother could get in easily. We will definitely stay here again.

Stay allowed for family time around back to back funerals

Andrea was fantastic, very responsive and obviously invested in the property. There was an issue with the property not being thoroughly cleaned after recent renters, but Andrea sent the house cleaner right to take care of things right away. There is a bit of an issue with the VRBO listing- I’d say it can fit 6 couples comfortably, but that means you have to have someone in the bunk house, which isn’t heated and was a bit too cold for us to use. Beautifully put together!

Sister weekend in Port Dover

Andrea's Port Dover house was a perfect fit for our sister weekend. It was close to restaurants, shops and bars - but quiet enough at night that we had no issues sleeping. The house itself was very clean and had all the amenities that we (5 sisters) required, and we made good use of the large, secluded backyard and deck. We had a wonderful time exploring Port Dover and all it has to offer (beautiful beach and pier, fantastic ice cream shop, many great restaurants and fun stores etc, etc) and would highly recommend this town, and home, to others looking for a fun and comfortable weekend away. And PS the people of Port Dover are SO FRIENDLY! We met lots of fun people and everyone was very helpful and welcoming. We will be back!

Good location and space, but could be cleaner

We had a good time and the host is very nice and responsive. She even sent us a charcuterie board as a gift during our stay. The place looks clean overall but if you look around windows, under the beds, etc.. it needs a good clean. On the last day we realized there were mice which didn’t seem to be a big surprise to the host. The ad mentions that there’s a bunkie to sleep 4 more people but it didn’t have any electricity so we couldn’t use it because we needed to have some light and plug in a fan.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Jul 2023
The details have been updated in regards to the bunkie. But a bunkie by meaning is a separate space from the main cottage which may or may not have facilities ex. Plumbing, electrical. This is meant for a sleeping space only. There is unfortunately a mouse problem throughout Port Dover due to the disturbance of the scrap yard for future development. I have not had a problem with mice in the past 3 months so this is very disturbing for me and unexpected. There must have been food left out and open for this to be so excessive as per the description. There are several traps and I pay an exterminator a monthly fee to maintain the cleanliness I have always had in the past. It's unfortunate this is how the rental went and my apologies to your family. Wish you the best of luck with your next rental.
