Spiaggia privata Casa tra Cedar Point e Scenic Vermilion

Thank you for taking the time to leave a five star review. It is our goal to provide a space that enables families to make the most of their stay with us.

Ken, we appreciate that you chose Hibiscus House for your family to connect and make memories. Your kind words and five-star rating mean allot. The highest compliment would be the chance to host your family again.

Thanks for the five star review! We are thrilled that your family enjoyed the numerous amenities Mitiwanga has to offer.

Thank you for the five-star review. Positive guest feedback is essential to our growth and success when there are so many options in the area. The details you shared help us stand out to future guests. We strive to provide a clean space and thoughtful offerings.

Lannea, thank you for the lovely, five-star review. We are so pleased that your family enjoyed your stay at Hibiscus House and all that Mitiwanga has to offer. It would be the highest compliment to host your family again.

Thanks for taking the time to post a review. We look forward to hosting your family again.

Thank you for the kind words and detailed five-star review. We're sorry that the rains cut your trip short this time around. Hopefully next time Mother Nature will provide ample sunshine so your family can get the full North Shore experience.

This is our second non five-star review in the three seasons since re-launching this property, formerly operated by my father before he succumbed to dementia. We hold the mantra "we will learn from any negative marks we receive". However, like our first non five-star review, there is nothing more we could have done. This is a passion project, carrying on a tradition started by my father. I could have opted to rent this property out long-term and made more income with less effort. Myself and my fiancé both work solid, full-time jobs and enjoy the rewarding experience of hosting our guests. It is clearly noted in our property description and in our welcome guide that we attempt to meet all of our guests. There are two reasons for this approach. First, during our first two seasons we did not meet guests and found that a notable portion were not forthcoming regarding their pets. We had guests bringing in undeclared pets or pets that exceeded the size limit of our house rule. Guests also misrepresented the number of guests in their party. Meeting guests affords us the opportunity to ensure that these factors are verified. Secondly, we are interested in meeting new people, engaging with our guests, even on a limited basis, helps us get to know them and hone in on how we can best enable them to make life long memories during their stay. Many of our reviews mention that we are wonderful hosts. Several of our guests have enjoyed their experience so much they returned for additional stays. IF you want the hotel room experience, Hibiscus House may not be the place for you. We are sorry that arriving at the time this guest provided and spending five minutes with me was a discomfort, but we have to protect ourselves. Hibiscus House is a very well kept gem, we have put so much of our own time and resources into it. We will make sure each guest finds it as if they were one of the first. It is true that guests have things that they prefer. We do our best to represent our property accurately and completely. As hosts, there are things that we prefer. For example, we prefer to not find dog feces and urine under the beds in both bedrooms. We prefer to not come in and have to identify the source of a variety of foul odors, like pebbles of poo under our bunks or diarrhea splats under the queen bed or used feminine hygiene products in an un-lined wastebasket, which was lined when the property was turned over. We prefer to find that the dishes that were put away to actually have been cleaned. We prefer canine guests to not bark the entire time their humans are not present. This is a duplex with a very patient 30+ year long tenant in the other unit. We granted this guest an exception to our single dog under 20# house rule. When I met them, the husband chose to remain in the car with their second dog, giving reason to suspect that the other dog was bigger than represented. Our reward for bending our rule was a disgusting mess and a four-star review.

Thank you for the great review. I know the stay was quick. So glad we could accommodate. You were amazing guests. If you come back hope you can stay longer and enjoy the local. Have a great summer! Calm winds and following seas to you and yours.

You guys! Simply the greatest compliment a host could receive is a return guest. It is appreciated when kind words are offered, but when they are complimented with a return visit, we are seriously humbled. We don't know if we are doing things right. We try to be guided with "what would we want if we were guests" and "What can we do to add value to the stay that can't be had via a normal hotel experience. " I hope you have a great summer. See you again soon. Calm winds and following seas to you and yours.

It means the world that you took the time to post a review. It speaks volumes that you have stayed with us twice. We look forward to hosting your family again.

Thank you so much. It was a pleasure getting to meet you. Have a great summer.
