Small beach getaway
The host was very nice answering a lot of my questions beforehand. We were a group of 8 adults and one child. My family had travelled from a different province to come visit us for a week in the summer so we decided to rent a cottage. Check in was easy and she even let us check in a couple hours early which was nice. The cottage was “clean” but it definitely needed a deep clean done to it. There were still other peoples items under the beds, and a lot of dust. The vacuum was FULL to the brim when we arrived, so when we needed to use it over the course of the week we had to dump it, that was a little off putting. The main issue we had (which I never contacted the host about because I wasn’t sure what she would be able to do about it) was that when we arrived the small fridge freezer was jam packed FULL.
We had just done a $600 Costco trip, and bought a lot of frozen meats, etc to feed our large family for the week, and we had nowhere to put any of it. In the past when I’ve rented places like this, the fridge and freezer are generally empty in order to be used by the guests. That part was definitely frustrating.
Also the beach access is on a giant hill, which was never mentioned to me in the description of the cottage. Seeing as we have elderly parents, this caused a bit of an issue because it was quite a steep hill to go down (and then back up) just to get to the beach. Everyone else there has golf karts to ride up and down this path. Overall it was an okay stay.
