Wedding Weekend
I don't even know where to start. My family and I have stayed at this home twice now and we absolutely LOVE it. It has become our home away from home for weddings at Chesterton Square. Jeffrey and Ursula are absolutely wonderful and they make the house feel like HOME! We're already thinking of other reasons to book this home in the future. We will definitely be back as long as they'll have us.

Horrible People DO NOT RENT
I rented as the ad stated, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, sleeps 9. No where did it state that only two people are allowed and everyone else is more. Also, the air conditioning did not work properly and the owner stated that the hole in the outside unit that causes the AC not to work; was caused by a hurricane IDA that occurred 4 years ago. The night that we got there was horrible, the air conditioning didn't work (the house was at 80 degrees) and termites were swarming and literally coming out of the holes in the walls. We were covered in flying termites and had to retreat to our rooms. In my room that i stayed in, i stepped to the side of the tv to figure out why a wire was dangling and it wasnt working...that's when i fell through the floor. The owner admitted that the hole had been there for some time and that i should not have been in that room. He had a rug over the hole which was open to the outside. I rented a four bedroom house, not a three bedroom. On our second day, after telling the owner about the problems, he tried to extort me into paying an extra $275 fee for my extra employees. I told him that i didn't think that was fair or ethical because the house was not up to expected standards and that i would pay the fee if he fixed the Air conditioning and checked on the bug problem. He refused to compromise and had me and my employees evicted by the police at 7pm. As i have dug deeper into these crooks, I have found that this is a common occurrence. DO NOT RENT
