The Blue Door house was the perfect place for a weekend getaway. It was clean, a/c worked great, and comfortable bed! Bring your own coffee makings if you’re a coffee drinker.

Could be really nice if it was clean. The listing photos make it look larger. I enjoyed the view from the back porch. Also easy to access. We unpacked and went out for the 1st night. We returned around 10 to discover the sheets full of dog hair. We stripped the bed, which is 2 mattresses pressed together. No bedbugs or fleas, though. We found smaller sheets in the dresser and made do with that. The bedroom and bathroom are stuffy because of poor airflow. Bedroom has a separate window unit that did not cool it well. Entering the bedroom there is an odor. Black mold in the bathroom. I reached out to host. They could not say if a refund was possible for our 2nd night. They offered to “touch up” clean. We packed up hoping to find another place, but returned on the 2nd night only to find a new cheap set of sheets at the front door. We slept better the 2nd night in the living room. If you don’t mind dust and pet hair, this place is fine. It could be really nice if it was cleaned better
