Thank so much

Hi. My mom checked out last and here is info - thanks so much for the wonderful accommodations. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return. Wanted to report in and let know status of things. The linens in dryer were there when arrived. Left them there. Dishes in dishwasher rack are clean. Hand washed, left to dry. Not sure when trash day is. Or, if can was supposed to go inside fence. It was at the street when arrived. Left inside the fence and it is full. The door knob on double doors was loose and slipping off. Tightened but it didn’t fix the sliding off. Accidentally broke the spoon rest. So sorry. It slipped moving on counter. Can be glued, didn’t have any. All nicely decorated and inviting. Not sure if you are paying a service to clean. Nothing that created a problem for us but you might want to know. The outside of fridge, dishwasher, some windows looked like cleaned with same rag and smeared with streaks from the rag/cleaner. Kind of takes from how nicely kept and nice kitchen. Maybe an isolated occurrence. Thank you again and for the fun activities!

Unkept and not as described

The check in process is easy but the listing says there is a washing machine and a dryer. The day before we arrived, the host contacted us and told us that the washing machine did not work. While we were there, I hand washed all of my children's clothes to throw in the dryer but then I realized that there was no washer or dryer anywhere on the premises. When we arrived there was no trash bags in the kitchen trash can so I reached out to the host and I asked where I can find trash bags. I was told that they only provide essentials. I feel like trash bags should be included in essentials. The water was beautiful. The kayaks, canoes, and fishing was fun but the dock area is very dangerous. The yard is not really maintained. There is a grill but it was so dirty with an excessive amount of old grease on it that it burnt all of our food. Every single one of us were hurt by the giant bolts that attach the dock to the cement. They are located in the entryway without anything covering them. The balls of our feet were bruised up by the time we left. We ended up leaving a day early. On a positive note, the neighbors are kind, and the area is beautiful. It's a great location where everything is super close.

House hunting

This is our second trip to Hudson. We plan on buying a vacation home in the area so this trip was a house hunting trip. The boatyard property was perfect for our needs. The yard is secure and well lit. The house was clean and decorated well for the beach area. We would highly recommend.

Disappointed

Booked for 35 days. We got there the canal side lawn weeds were 18 inches high and remained high at 12 inches when leaving, We got a lawn cutting 4 days after arrival and one more cutting prior to leaving, oven and oven pans were just gross, toaster belonged in a landfill,, I personally cleaned the island countertop twice to remove the gummy/sticky top, also had to clean outside tables, we purchased dish towel and wash cloths. There was a major underground water leak issue with water entering kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, this was nobody's fault, just old piping failing beneath the floor slab. Needed to remove kitchen sink cabinet and chip out concrete floor. Host reimbursed us $400.00 for the inconvenience. We had previously paid in full for 2025 which we ended up by canceling. Host did address the cleaning issues and immediately provided a new toaster. Host did notify us the lawn care was backed up however this is not my problem and should have been addressed prior to our arriving. Having to address these issues is unacceptable, thus a 3 star rating is the best I can do.

We stayed at this 2 bed 2 bath home for a few nights to be near family that was visiting in the area. The back yard was awesome. We say so many birds and ducks in the canal. The patio included a gas grill, table and sofa as well as lounge chairs for sun bathing. The host was very responsive when I had a few questions.
