There was an empty beverage bottle under our bed left from the previous people that was not pick up by house keeping as well as a fake press on nail by the bed that was also not picked up by house keeping.

"I can't say enough wonderful things about this property. We booked this location to host our wedding and have family stay with us all weekend. The hosts were so accommodating. They let us come and look at the home in advance to help us prepare for our wedding which was extremely helpful. The property itself is stunning. Its nice and quite and feels like your own piece of the North Shore. All of our guests loved staying on site and said 'pictures don't do it justice'. The kitchen is the most stocked kitchen I've ever experienced at a VRBO. They really think of everything. We've already talked about booking again in the future to celebrate wedding anniversaries and have everyone come stay with us again. Would highly recommend!"
