Bucks Beach Bungalow

The owners of Buck Beach Bungalow, Judith Buck sent me a private email with obscenities.
Stay away from this place. my guess is she has a personality disorder. Very scary and unreasonable!

This is a review from Andrea Surfers, who does not have access to a computer and gave me this review in her own handwriting. She said: «I love walking into the Bungalow after parking on in the private driveway (a hard thing to find this close to the beach) and see the sunlight gleaming off the oak hardwood floors. This home is fully equipped with freshly-​made beds, all paper products, spices, condiments that don’t spoil like mustard, ketchup, salad dressings etc on the large refrigerator door, so all we have to bring is our clothes, our personal food and our expectations of having a wonderful time. Our dog especially loves having his own doggy door to the back yard and he can also share the front deck with us because it is fully fenced in too. It was a treat to see the owners have recently added a new large flat screen TV with blue-​ray that adds to our „vegging out watching great movies“ time. We’ll be back soon.»

We have stayed at Bucks Beach Bungalow 3 times in the last year and have always found it clean and comfortable. We would not return if we ever found anything like that other guy’s review. We found it on VRBO and all the reviews there are very accurate and if you have any questions, call the owners. They are more than accommodating and a delight to work with.

I just noticed the owners’ reply to my review, saying that they do not know «who this person was». As a matter of fact, they do know, as they contacted me about two weeks after this review was posted with aggressive attempts to have it removed. After I conditioned its removal with their applying the discount that they offered here, on Unilocal ($ 175 for $ 350 deal for three nights of our stay), and thus at least slightly readjusting the amount they charged us to the quality of our stay, they called it a blackmail and began to send open threats to my address, saying that if I do not remove the review in 24 h, «copies of your blackmailing emails will be sent to your current employer and neighbors». As it usually happens, a bully accuses the bullied for being a bully. The next message I received from the owners contained also the information that they were sending the allegations of «blackmailing» to «a reporter I have contacted at the newspaper for the school you work with», adding that «if you are willing to have to answer to them and all those who will read it in print or on-​line, in exchange for a few minutes time deleting the reviews, I pity you». Fortunately for us, this is a country which values freedom of speech (well, to some extent) and I am glad that there is a venue at which people could express their dissatisfaction with seemingly shady business practices and warn others about what to expect if they sign this contract with people who apparently have no concern for guest satisfaction or anything beyond bluntly ripping their guests off.
