Holiday Homes in Caret

"Hotel is old. Pictures look much different vs reality. Bathrooms are outdated. Mattresses uncomfortable."

"Definitely a unique setting, and we can see why outdoorsy folks and their dogs would love it. Larkin is a delightful and considerate host! Much of what we read in the reviews was on-target, and we created some great memories while here. We did figure out that suburban 66-year-olds like us are likely not as well-suited for this setting. For many of its positive aspects, we experienced a few that were less-than-ideal for us. The home is truly well-stocked - it's incredible how much "stuff" is available to guests, but, because of that, there was little-to-no room to settle in with our own stuff - we mostly lived out of our suitcases and food bags. Screened-in porch wasn't quite as anticipated; the screens were more like loosely hung drapes, and the porch door could not be fully closed, so my hope of having lots of porch-time safe from bugs did not work out well. We arrived during an unusually warm spell for early April (low 80s) and needed to use the A/C units, but those are loud, and not as effective as central A/C. While my husband really enjoyed catching many types of fish from the pier, the use of the pier was episodic based on tidal water levels, and the access was uneven and somewhat challenging, with my husband taking one good tumble into bramblebushes and then the water when coming off the pier. Although we won't return, we have no regrets for choosing such a unique home to help us access the other parts of VA that we visited."

"The staff are always friendly and the place is spotless and quiet."

"Really liked the breakfast buffet each morning. We were assigned the room labeled "handicap room" on the 4th floor. It was a lovely room and fine view. We had no idea how to lower or raise the blinds and had to call for help to do so. Help was very responsive, thank you. If I were handicapped and confined to a wheel chair, I don't think I could have gotten up on the bed! They are very high! The sliding door to the bathroom is a neat idea but the door is so heavy it is very difficult to slide over, even for me. When we visit friends in King George we like to stay here. Thank you."

"The staff was really helpful."

"The room was and comfortable. I loved that my room had a recliner. However, when a hotel advertises a kitchenette, I expect utensils, pans, silverware and a set of dishes. there was nothing! Cupboards were empty. Nobody takes all that stuff with them, and that was the whole reason why I booked this hotel. they need to revise their amenities list. It does have a full-size fridge, but what good is that? And there's no ice machine - you have to turn on the ice maker in the fridge, but nobody told me that. I gave it a good rating, but beware if you're expecting to use the kitchenette as you would normally expect."

"Overall this property served my purpose for one overnight. It was very quiet. The bathroom.was exceptionally clean but the room a little less so. Bed was a little squeaky but linens were clean. Thank you to the staff person who got my TV working."

"We have stayed here many times, always the same room never any issues but this last visit, the jetted tub wasn’t clean at all. I literally had to scrub it down before we could use it. Besides that nice stay to visit our family"

"Room was clean, staff was very friendly, tv had good shows, breakfast was good as well. Stayed 4 nights and would stay again. Also to mention its in a great area, has a Walmart close, and a lot of food nearby. 10/10 "
