You didn't allow normal check in procedures. Insisted on being met for the keys. Arrived 2 hours after the agreed meeting time. Booked for 2 people and on the 2nd day told me that you were going to move in permanently. Although the booking was for 2 people there were 14 people on the premises on the 2nd day. When questioned about the extra guests you claimed there was only a mother and child as extras. Instead of 2 bedrooms and bathrooms being used all 4 bedrooms and bathrooms had been used when the cleaners arrived. The insurance on the property would have been void due to your extra guests. If you rent another property through Stayz l would recommend that you are honest with the host about how many people will actually be there, adhere to the hosts check in details If you are a host l would not accept a booking from this guest.

Hi Jiwan. You paid your deposit and the balance of $200 is still overdue. I have requested 5 times that you pay this outstanding debt. I am sorry to hear that you were not happy with the cleanliness. You did however send a friend to check the property beforehand without any notice who approved the property for you. This person also stayed at the property without y declaring an extra guest. Could you please pay the $200 that is now 6 weeks overdue for your stay. Thank you Belinda

this property is beautifully maintained inside and out. the beds are comfortable and all linen clean. The stove needs updating its very slow. There was no note that we shouldn't lock the front door. The location is close to the local bowling club but requires a taxi or car if travelling to the ferry terminal.

Boathouse Magic Garden meets the sea

The owner Belinda was so welcoming and so full of local knowledge The gardens on the property were beautiful and plenty of different little spots to see the ocean and soak in the afternoon sunshine with the local wildlife There were fishing rods and tackle to use off the little deck that’s in the water plus water toys to use The back fence has a little gate to use to get to the beach which feels totally private The rooms were large and had everything you needed full size fridge and a well kept array of kitchen utensils and plates and cups for the biggest family to use It was clean and tidy We will definitely be back

Boat House

Maintenance is lacking on the interior. Lighting in 2 of the 4 bathrooms not working. Owner provided a bedside lamp in 2 of the bathrooms for a light. Power point in one of the rooms loose. Smoke detectors hanging off the ceiling with NO batteries. Toilet in Titanic not working properly Tap over kitchen sink loose, you had to hold the base of the tap to get it to work. Outside area was excellent
