Response from VrboOwner on 16 April 2026
Thank you for your kind review, Mari. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage to be comfortable. Since warm down comforters are provided on each bed and the fireplace keeps the cottage toasty warm, we've never had a request for extra blankets. When you did request blankets during your stay, we offered to provide you with extra blankets but we didn't receive a response back from you. Just to be safe, we've now tucked a few extra blankets into the bedroom drawers for our guest's comfort. Regarding house rules, I've never before heard a request to post house rules in every room. I honestly feel that posting rules in each room might be overkill. The house rules are clearly stated in the initial booking agreement and they are sent again through VRBO as an attachment. The house rules are also provided in the guest book on the kitchen counter as well as posted near the front entry. I think that is sufficient and certainly available as needed for reference. We want our guests to feel relaxed and at home while staying in the cottage, not surrounded by rules. I'm not sure what the last part of your review is saying, but I appreciate you taking the time and wish you well in your future travels. Karen

We had a wonderful stay at this beach cottage. Although it is cozy, the living area is very comfortable. We appreciated the gas stove which put out a lot of heat. The kitchen was stocked with all of the cookware, utensils and dinnerware you need. The hot tub was clean and relaxing. The entire house was clean, for that matter. Karen was very communicative. We would definitely rent this house again. Thank you!
