The location is great, quiet and close to beach access. The check in and check out process was a breeze. The place itself is great, unfortunately it was very dirty and run down. The floors look like the haven’t been cleaned in some time. The coaches are very dirty and covered in stains. The mattress are extremely old and 1 even had a large hole in the side that looked like a mouse was living in it. The whole place just needs a good deep clean and some new furniture. The back door out the bathroom that leads to outside also doesn’t lock which wasn’t very comforting for my wife since we had our newborn with us. If location is a priority to you this place is great. If cleanliness and comfortability are a priority to you I would not recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the quiet location, the nearby beach access, and that the check-in and check-out process was easy. We're sorry to hear that the home did not meet your expectations. The home is professionally cleaned before every guest's arrival. That said, it is an older home, and while it is well maintained, some furnishings and finishes do show their age. We understand that this may have affected your perception of the property's overall condition, and we appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. We will review your comments with our housekeeping and maintenance teams, including the furniture and mattresses, to see where improvements can be made. Regarding the back door, we understand why this caused concern. We would like to clarify that the door does lock properly. It is designed so that turning the interior handle unlocks the door from the inside, which is a standard safety feature that allows for a quick exit in the event of an emergency. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving the guest experience. Thank you for staying with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.

Host was very welcoming and the cottage is adorable. We will definitely rent this place again, maybe in the Fall. The only issue was the heat was too warm even though we set it completely to the left. The cottage was warm when we arrived.
