Very nice B&B. We had a great vacation. Our suite was nice (Lighthouse Vista Suite). But for the expensive price we paid, we were disappointed that Nancy would not let us use the fireplace in the living area. She said it was because of the... read more
Innkeeper Response
I truly appreciate guest feedback, which is why, upon each guest's check-in I offer an extensive tour of our facility, provide each guest with my personal cell phone and home phone numbers and ask them to contact me if there is anything they require to make their stay more comfortable or to answer any questions about the area. I live on the premises and am available to guests day and night. I felt the need to write this response to enlighten other readers of this review to certain facts about a few claims. The Lighthouse Vista Suite has two fireplaces; the one that could not be used during September while the A/C was on is a natural gas fireplace which gives off an excessive amount of heat when activated. All guests are informed that our gas fireplaces are seasonal. Heat and A/C running at the same time is not practical. However we did provide an electric fireplace that gives the same effect without the heat. We only use premium Egyptian cotton towels which the majority of our guests find thick and soft. Had the guest addressed this issue we would have re-laundered all their towels using extra fabric softener. Regarding the soda selection, we provide complimentary popular brands of both standard and diet sodas. There is a convenience store nearby that offers a wider selection. We purposely installed a luxurious 10 person Jacuzzi/hot tub for our guests' enjoyment, completely separate from the pool for longer seasonal use. And, as advertised, our outdoor pool is heated only during high season and this visit was after high season. We do everything possible to make guest stays a wonderful experience. But we can't solve a complaint that is written in an editorial review after the guest leaves! If they address their concern when it arises, we do our best to solve it. Our commitment is to our guests...and I am devoted to make each guest's stay the best possible!
