10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
The Eleanor Dare house is a beautiful property. Each of the 8 bedrooms has its own en-suite, which adds to the privacy of the guests.The house itself is overdue for a facelift. Some of the furniture in the family room is worn, and the carpets are threadbare in places. The slider to the 3rd floor deck was extremely difficult to operate, even after I oiled it. The shuffleboard table was unusable - you can’t even get the pucks to slide the length of the table. The management company was responsive to our concerns. When we arrived - at 4:05 pm - the door code didn’t work. Fortunately, the cleaning person stayed to make sure our code worked and, when it didn’t, she let us in. The problem was resolved in the next 30 minutes. We also had a problem with the cabana service. On the first day, it was too windy to set up the cabana, which I understood. But I wanted to use some of the chairs, which were all chained together. After about 2 hours and calls to both the management company and the cabana service, we got our chairs. The only other comment related to the windows. There is a beautiful view from the 3rd floor looking out over the ocean. But by the end of the week, the windows were so clouded over that the view became unimpressive. I wish there had been a garden hose and squeegee to keep a pristine view.On a positive note, the kitchen was well-equipped with dishes, pots and pans. The 2 microwaves and 2 dishwashers were very convenient. The table seated our group of 15.

We had a 4-gen Christmas week at the Eleanor Dare cottage, and it turned out great. We walked the beach, rode bikes (e-bike rental), shopped, played golf and even fished one day. The cottage was great for spreading people out for games and movies, and for bringing everyone together for breakfast and dinner every day.
6 / 10Average·May 2022
We booked this house for my daughter's wedding. Nowhere on the website was there anything about an event fee. There were several notices about pet fees, but nothing about an event fee. About a month before the check in date, I received an email about the remaining charge for the stay. It included a $2,000 event fee. I would have never booked this house if I'd known how much the event fee was, and the booking was non-refundable, so I was stuck. Also, check-in was at 4:00. We arrived at 6:30 and housecleaning was still there. I had to finish cleaning bedding and there was a comforter missing. I called housekeeping but nothing ever arrived. Housekeeping arrived early on the day of check-out. House was beautiful for a wedding on the beach, but $2,000 for an event fee when the wedding was on the beach is ridiculous. Kees obviously is under-staffed given the lack of responsiveness from housekeeping.
