Rückzugsort am Meer | Privater Deck & Strandzugang | Rose & Tide

Thank you for your feedback. We would, however, like to clarify several points for future guests reading this review. Our home is approximately 4,700 sq ft and contains only three guest rooms. The room this guest describes as “small” is approximately 205 sq ft, with his own private ocean-view deck measuring approximately 418 sq ft. Each guest room has its own private bathroom. The bathrooms are located across the hallway rather than inside the bedrooms, a layout that allows us to maximize the bedrooms’ ocean-facing space and views. Guests also have access to the shared kitchenette and outdoor food-preparation area. We certainly understand that travelers specifically looking for an entirely private home with no shared spaces may prefer a different type of accommodation. We were particularly surprised by the comments regarding privacy and noise because, during this guest’s stay, another guest contacted us after feeling uncomfortable encountering him shirtless in the shared food-preparation area. There were also concerns about loud conversation and drinking on the deck after 10 p.m. Privacy and consideration work both ways in a shared property, and outdoor noise late at night can affect others regardless of the size of a home. Unfortunately, after checkout we also discovered extensive staining on our Zara Home 300-thread-count white bedding that appeared consistent with a spilled beverage. We have been welcoming short-term guests since 2018, and experiences like this have been exceptionally rare. Our many previous guest reviews provide a much broader picture of the atmosphere we work hard to maintain. To preserve a quiet and peaceful environment, we limit every guest room to a maximum of two occupants and do not accommodate minors. We completely respect that this style of accommodation will not suit every traveler. Our goal is to offer spacious private guest rooms, private bathrooms, expansive ocean views and outdoor spaces within a shared 4,700 sq ft oceanfront home, rather than an entire-home rental. We encourage future guests to review the property details carefully and choose the type of accommodation that best matches the level of privacy they are looking for.
