The most relaxing vacation ever

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Ho Hum is truly a magical place! My grandparents built this wonderful house back in the late 60s and being able to bring my family here and share this amazing place with them was a once in a life time experience. The house is still as beautiful and charming as ever and the beach is the just as private and spectacular as when I was a little girl.As my grandparents used to tell us when we would visit years ago, getting here isn't easy but if it was it wouldn't be so special.Being at Ho Hum is worth the effort to get there.The only thing you can do there is get relaxed!And that is what we did. We swam, snorkled at the reef (we saw sea turtles, rays, an octopus and lots of tropical fish) woke up to stunning sunrises, star gazed at night and simply slowed down.Ho Hum is island living at it's best.

Really beautiful house, on a stunning beach.........BUT?

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our party of four, 2 couples, were warned by the booking agent that Ho Hum was tired, but we wanted to be on Windermere Island, as we knew the beach was magnificent. We looked forward to 3 relaxing weeks. Ho Hum is a magnificent home, with awesome views, and the interior is lovely, Had we been staying for only 1 week, we would probably have overlooked a lot of the numerous things that needed fixing, but over the course of 3 weeks, it is important that a house functions well. Then a horrible thing happened! Two rats and a mouse appeared in the master bedroom. We should have realized on our arrival that there were rodents in the room, as a chest of drawers was chewed around the top and bottom edges, we informed the caretaker, who sent over 3 live rat traps, by day 3 of seeing very obvious signs that rats were living in the room, we informed the agent, that we could no longer stay in the house, and we’d like our money back. The listing agent proceeded to find us alternative accommodation, while we went back and forward with the owner, negotiating how much of our money should be returned. The contract does not cover anything about rat infestation,which the owner pointed out to us, telling us she was in no way obligated to return any of our money, as we were choosing to leave. Finally she returned 2weeks plus1 day, and also returned our $1000 security deposit. There were so many thing damaged and broken in the home, it really didn’t seem reasonable to pay a $1000 security deposit. We did inform the caretaker on our arrival of all the things that were broken.My overal impression of Ho Hum is that there needs to be considerable renovations done on the house. At no time did the owner offer to send an exterminator to deal with the problem. This is a lovely house that has been allowed to slip into a state of disrepair, but with rats and mice lurking around in the bedroom and living room we had no choice but to leave. We lost 4 precious days of our vac
Response from VrboOwner on 30 May, 2022
While we were very sorry to hear these guests were not happy with their stay, their account of our response and the ample discounts and refunds given to them is a gross misrepresentation of facts. First, they were offered to leave with full refund for unused nights right away after seeing the rodent. Instead they elected to stay on while I tried to fix the issue. We did have trouble finding the spot where the rodent was getting in from the outside (and we did also call an exterminator who was unable to come right away. Response time is not always so fast in the islands). In the end, they decided to leave and I gave them a full refund for all the unused nights, PLUS a free night, plus the discount they had negotiated for a three week stay, even though they stayed just a week. Hardly the type of response and compensation that their review suggested. Unfortunately I have since learned that this group, Keith and Colleen Suddaby and Geri Harper, have a reputation on the island for beating down owners on the price of houses. They negotiated aggressively for a discount when they booked, and then tried but failed to get money back for the week they stayed in the house. I believe that is why they posted this negative review. Since then I did have an exterminator in and the problem has been eliminated. There was no infestation, just a small hole deep in the slider tracks (inside the wall and hard to find) where a rodent was coming in. Since then, we have had many more guests stay and they have had no complaints. We also have many guests return year-after-year to enjoy our simple home. We have never billed the property as anything grander than it is and without question, the location is unbeatable. Ho-Hum Has a lovely vintage architecture and shabby-chic interior. Ocean views and tropical breezes are everywhere. Most guests appreciate its unique charm and rare beauty despite some age and wear here and there. Contact me any time w/questions, Alexa P

House was Ho Hum

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A stay on Windermere Island is a treat, as a quiet retreat the Ho Hum House is tired. Clean enough, but beach houses near the ocean need upkeep inside and out: holes in bed sheets, kitchen appliances worn out or not working, no hangers or dresser in the second bedroom, outdoor showers non-existent although website indicated otherwise. Management, housecleaner and property manager very responsive, however.

The owner has replaced the sheets and provided hangers for the closet of the guest bedroom. All kitchen appliances are working. There is an outdoor shower off the master bedroom, as advertised, and it works well.

Family fun

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Gagnon family arrived a day late due to the our flight was in an hour late. We spent the night in fort Lauderdale. We finally arrived and were thrilled to see the breathtaking views of Ho Hum house. As our week went on we went scuba diving snorkeling swimming and beaching . The house was perfect for our family. We noticed that the house is getting a bit run down and needs some things fixed. We really did not care though because it was fun for us all.

Relaxing Get Away

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is private and the beach is the nicest we have ever seen. Location is A+. The home, staff and amenities get a B, but we would stay here again. Would bring more provisions, books and games the next time as there is nothing to do after dark and the bugs start biting at dusk. Views are magnificent!
