The Bunker
We had a good time. Being so close to the beach was a plus. The kids really enjoyed the pool.

Family & Friends Getaway
We were a group of 9 persons, adults and teens. Home had plenty of room for everyone. Pool was large and lots of fun. Home is located near attractions that are family friendly. We enjoyed Westerly and Rockport and the beautiful beaches. The main house and the side house both have a washer and dryer - this came in handy!

Relax and Breathe
Property is well situated and very private. House and cottage were clean and well supplied-toilet tissue, paper towels, dishwashing detergent, etc. The pool was fantastic for the kids and the adults. Sun porch was a great spot to sit and chat over coffee and cold drinks. All the furniture is dated and could use an uplift-especially chairs in the kitchen area and in the cottage. We wouldn’t hesitate to rent again.

Family pool vacation
Our multigenerational family really enjoyed this property and the pool. Restful, fun vacation - enough room for everyone! The only suggestion we would make us to update the furniture.

Beautiful property with amazing pool
This was a perfect home for an amazing trip with children and family. In total we had 8 adults and 3 children who had an absolute blast. The home and pool were great along with the proximity to the beach and local dining. Barry was a very kind, responsive, accommodating, and gracious host. I look forward to returning again next year. Thank you!

Wonderful pool house
We had a great time! We had two families and four kids under ten. There was plenty of space to spread out, the kids loved sleeping up in the top room with the view of the ocean and appreciated the history of the bunker. The pool was so amazing we actually elected to stay there instead of going to the beach a few days. When we did go to the beach it was super close, easy to get to, and very local feeling- which made it even more restful! Lots of food and attractions nearby. Barry was very responsive and friendly to all of our questions. We would highly recommend!

BDRs not as Listed, No AC in Most of the House, Dirty
The Listing is not accurate. Bedroom 1: Queen (2) is actually only 1 queen plus a twin bed. Bedroom 2: Queen is correct. Bedroom 3: double is actually a futon that is ONLY accessible by a ladder. Bedroom 4: Sleep Sofa/Fulton King is correct. Bedroom 5 Twin/Single (2) is actually 2 twin mattresses on cot metal frames. The listing states that there is no central A/C but there are window A/C units. There were NO window A/C units in 2 of the 4 bedrooms. There were no AC units in the upper common area or any of the bathrooms. There was ONE single AC unit to cover the entire bottom floor of the house. It was a small, old unit that was not fit to cool the entire downstairs. The Pool was filthy. The filter was either on the lowest setting or not running. The Casita Bathroom is behind a shower curtain IMMEDIATELY when you open the door to walk in. The house is in general disrepair (light fixtures hanging from ceiling, dirty blinds, smelly moldy carpents). And he has an ant problem. Oven in the casita does not work. Owner came to the home and was dismissive of issues. We are an extended family that has rented with VRBO for years. We left early and are waiting on VRBO to make this right.

Guest verified by email number of bedrooms and bed counts several times prior to arrival. Also verified the pet policy prior to and during booking process. Additionally She was confirmed as to the number window Air conditioners and location, and that 2 rooms were not climate controlled Our policy is 1 dog jot to exceed 40 lbs., She brought 3 large dogs over 70 pounds each. She moved all of the mattresses out of bedrooms onto floor of living area and master bedroom. And proceeded to lock her 3 dogs in the room while they went to the beach all day. The dogs were allowed on all the furniture by the owner. We are a former military Bunker converted to a family home over the past 8 decades. The house while close to the beach is in the woods and secluded and insects are expected in the setting. The pool was immaculate and cleaned prior to guest arrival as co firmed by guest, ot rained hard for 2 days during their stay and the was debris in the bottom of the pool as a result, the next day the pool was cleaned and Serviced professionally as we do every week. The guest had a member of the family come I'll during the trip and was rushed to the hospital and later transferred to a critical care facility, it was stressful for the guest as she stated personally when I visited them to address any issues they were experiencing. All issues were dealt with immediatly and concisely. This guest was NEVER going to be happy, nor had she ever intended to be honest about the disobedient dogs. She paid our cleaning service for additional cleaning during her visit due to the dogs but did not pay the agreed upon amount. We had more then 10 communications prior to her stay, and she heard only what she wanted to hear and told me only what she wanted me to know. Even with the additional cleaning throughout the week, The house required twice the number of man hours to reset the property and the dogs caused hundreds of dollars in damages on a property that was professionally cleaned, updated and maintained just a week before she came. This is not a person I would ever rent to again

Nice "but" ...
The good: location, plenty of room, clean, appliances, pool. The bad: a little shabby, front door lock held together with tape, no dishwasher detergent, not enough trash bags, dumpster full, no fan and no curtains on south facing 1st floor "den", screen doors hard to open & close, showers are pretty cramped. For the price we expected a bit more.

Nice stay for a multi generational family
Pool was the best part. Very clean and we enjoyed the hot tub as well. House is clean and property manager is very responsive. Beach pass is helpful. Would give it 5 stars but mattresses are soft and need an upgrade. Location is secluded and across a highway. Fine for us but no yard or walking neighborhood unless you cross Rt 1 (but there is a traffic light)

Client tried to cancel prior to arrival, complained the 2nd they arrived. The listing states window units in main house central a/c in guest house. The property was immaculate, the beds are less than 2 years old other than bunks in small room. The property is secluded and on a private wooded lot with Ocean views. A parking pass to drive to the beach is provided. The drive is less than 5 minutes. We are not listed as walk to beach, we are listed as ocean views. This guest asked for money back more than once including prior to arriving. I would not rent to him again.

Deb was a great guest, she requested many additional items after arrival that were not part of the property and all her requests were made promply including building an impromptu ramp to access other parts of the home. Not sure what the 1 star is about, she was very happy and well attended to considering the self serve nature of any VRBO property. I would be honored to have her as a return guest and she already booked for next year. Perhaps she does not operate the VRBO app, hence the low rating
