"Perfect hotel: nice huge bedroom, clean, microwave, fridge, nice location and great staff."

"This house was comfortable and could easily accommodate a large party (we were only 4), though the living/dining space is very small in comparison to the very large bedrooms. We did not use the kitchen, but it looked nice. The beds were very comfortable, though others would want to bring additional blankets if renting in the winter as we did. The bathroom sinks and showers did not drain properly. The biggest pro for the house is its proximity to the beach—you’re practically in the waves, which is what we were looking for. The beach and ocean views were at the top of our list when we paid top dollar for this house. Unfortunately, the owners have intentionally left a major eyesore out of the promotional photos. A huge power plant dominates the view day and night. It belches smoke or steam into the air 24 hours a day and is lit up like a Christmas tree, shining into the house all night. This was our first trip to this area, and because it was not in the photos, we had no idea it was there. We would not have paid the price we paid for that view. I can’t imagine that other reviewers haven’t mentioned this, unless they are more familiar with the area and used to the oceanfront industries up and down that coastline. We wish the photos would have been more honest."

"Our experience at this impressive property was exceptional, from start to finish. The host (Utopia Property Management) was responsive to all of questions and requests. We had booked an extended stay during the holidays so inclement weather was a possibility. A snow shovel and ice melt was provided on day of arrival. The Keurig machine stopped working after a couple of days and a brand new one was delivered by the friendly maintenance staff within two hours! Alex also arrived with a plow on the day it snowed 8 inches! At the end of our stay the host kindly offered a late check out which allowed us to gather our belongings at a more relaxed pace. Believe me, it was difficult to leave! The beachfront house provided us with ocean views from nearly every room, and with weather changing by the hour, it was quite a spectacular place to spend the holiday. The spacious gathering places were the perfect backdrop to our family celebrations. On the snow day we were joined by our young grandchildren and we were able to walk to the hill at McCook's Point Beach for sledding! They were thrilled! Our very special family and friends gatherings will certainly become part of our forever memory books. "

"Liz’s house is absolutely amazing!! The views of the marsh and sound are absolutely beautiful! The house is spacious, well-appointed and fully stocked! Besides the house being so amazing the host Liz was outstanding! She literally saved our Christmas holiday by being so flexible and accommodating after our originally booked rental fell through at the last moment. I would highly recommend Liz’s place to anyone and everyone! "

"Great location and extremely clean. I would definitely recommend and stay again. "
