Nice property with good location that met our needs. Washer was not working properly when we were there and the property was not properly cleaned before our stay, but we always enjoy our stay in Port Austin.

Hello. Can you tell me what was not properly cleaned before your arrival so I can address it with the cleaning crew? Also, I do have maintenance people on standby when guests are visiting. If I would have known the washer was not running properly, I could have sent a person over to look at it. If I don’t know about these issues, I can’t help correct them. Leaving one star reviews really affects our rating and I would’ve liked the chance to correct what you found wrong. Enjoy your future visits in Port Austin!

Perfect location for our one night stay in Port Austin. My family was really happy that I chose this cute little home in town. Great host and nice decorations. She made sure to make the home welcoming. Hoping me and my family get another chance to stay here (and hopefully for longer) in the future :)

It was okay. We could tell that upgrade was still in process. Example transition stripes from tile floor to wood floors need to be install. No blinds on patio door, loose tiles in the bathroom but it was fine for a couple days that we stayed there
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 31 May 2026
Thank you for the feedback. We sometimes have to do repairs in the off season which reflects the price discount for that time and inconvenience of small repairs. The patio door without blinds is intentional due to potential damage to the blinds going in and out. The backyard is fairly secluded and private. Again, thank you for your feedback and all of the repairs/ upgrades have already been completed since your stay!

When we arrived we found mouse dropping on the kitchen counter. There was mouse dropping on the bedding of one of the twin beds. The flooring is uneven. It was very difficult to get warm water in the shower. It was either scolding hot or icy cold. Putting the lever in the middle shuts off the water. I was finally able to get warm water, but it was low water pressure because it was almost at the off position.

Hi! Thank you for the feedback! You are the first guest to ever report a problem with any rodents or plumbing issues! We have an exterminator monitoring the property and had a plumber make sure the shower is in top working order. The floor is an overlay of an older job due to the age of the home. Thank you again and without this feedback we can’t help make our property the best it can be.

Our group of friends enjoyed our stay very much. When we arrived to find the A/C was not functioning I wasn’t sure we would even stay. But I contacted the owner who was very quick to resolve the issue to our comforts. The location is quick to most places yet very quiet.
