"Regrettably the proper manager never contacted me regarding the check-in instructions and I was not able to stay. If that’s how they do business and I can consider it deplorable. I have requested a full refund and do not recommend this property."

"Booked a two night, weekend stay. the “property” is an abandoned vessel moored about 200 yards off shore accessible by watercraft only. No running water. ‘Water provided’ for personal hygiene and sanitary uses consisted of six sixteen ounce bottles and one 1 gallon jug half full. The onboard toilet was inoperable and ‘maintenance’ never arrived to remedy the situation. Spent the first night with the smell of human waste in the air.
Transportation to and from the abandoned vessel is offered via...
