Overall good experience. House was clean and good location. There were some things that were damaged upon arrival. One was a curtain rod in the master bedroom that prevented curtain from being able to be hung, which limited privacy and allowed bright light in in the morning. Contacted twice to have fixed and never was.

While the location itself had potential, the property did not match the expectations set by the listing and appears to need maintenance and updating.One issues was the lack of access to a washer and dryer, despite those being listed as amenities it is in a downstairs area that we were unable to access. Several other advertised features were either missing or not functional, including the boat slip listed in the title, which was unusable due to missing straps and questionable functionality.There were also maintenance and safety concerns throughout the property. The upstairs decking has areas of rot, the concrete bulkhead near the dock is extremely slippery with fall risk, and the hoses by the dock do not work. The barbecue pit is in poor condition and should likely be replaced.Inside the home, both ceiling fans in the extra bedrooms were nonfunctional, the closet is missing a door in one room, the bunk bed was questionable, the sheets would not stay on the beds due to the lack of elasticity and plastic bed cover, and the master bed is noticeably worn and uneven. Outdoor furniture was generally worn, with dirty cushions and one rocking chair was falling apart.Additionally, the kayaks were provided without paddles or life jackets, which made them unusable for most guests.Overall, the property could be enjoyable with proper maintenance and better attention to the accuracy of the listing, but in its current condition it did not meet expectations.

We had so much fun staying at Blue Haven. The space was perfect for our family of 8 2 dogs. The kids really enjoyed the fishing off the dock. It was a short drive to the beach and easy to park and set up. The extra space downstairs was perfect for my grown son to have his own space. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions I had. Overall it was a great experience. We will definitely do it again.
