Adam, the owner was very responsive until we got there, and then decided not to stay because the room was really smaller than we imagined. There is barely enough room to get around the bed. I had asked, if possible, for some sort of a partial refund, but haven't heard anything back as of yet. The room was clean and in well-kept condition, but not nearly as comfortable as the pictures depict. Anyway, it was an expensive lesson for my further travels using VRBO as I would only consider a place like this to flop over night.

Hi Dave, thank you for acknowledging that the room was clean and well-kept. We aim to be fully transparent about our spaces, which is why our listing includes detailed photos and square footage so guests know exactly what to expect regarding the cozy size.
Regarding your refund request: While you indicated you chose not to stay, our housekeeping staff confirmed the next morning that the room was occupied. Because the accommodation was utilized for the night, we were unable to process a refund. We wish you the best in your future travels.
I love everything about this property. Excellent response from host. Excellent cleanliness of place. OVERALL TOP EXPERIENCE. 1000 PERCENT will be back.
The Freeboard Studio in Old Lyme was the perfect, vacation spot for me and my husband. The host truly thought of everything when renovating this space. There are basic appliances, linens, towels, cute coffee bar at the kitchenette and a pack-n-play should you need one. Paul was communicative throughout our stay, and made sure we were content everyday.Walking through the Old Colony Beach neighborhood, we felt right at home. Everyone was so respectful and kind! The beach is beautiful and very clean.I highly recommend this unit for booking!
Property owners were great to work with. Everything went smoothly. The only downside was our floors were covered in sand… and we never went to the beach because my husband injured his knee two days before and was on crutches. The coffee machine was filled with old coffee grinds so when I opened it they went all over the counter and the frig was dirty with sand on the shelves.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear everything went smoothly overall and that you found us easy to work with. That said, we’re sorry about the condition of the floors, coffee maker, and fridge. That’s not the standard we aim to provide, and we’ll be addressing this with our cleaning team right away. It’s also something we would’ve appreciated knowing in real time so we could have made things right during your stay. Wishing your husband a smooth recovery, and thank you again for bringing these concerns to our attention.
