This cottage is poorly furnished and poorly maintained. While the small kitchen is adequate, there were almost no bowls, pots or pans and the appliances provided appeared as if they had been thrown into the cabinets, with a toaster oven and coffee maker perched precariously on the top. There was no dishwasher and the back door was so rotten that something was growing out of the bottom panel. We could not get the TV to work and there were enough wires hanging out of the wall and under the TV stand to program a sound system for a stadium. While the cottage was cool when we checked in on Thursday evening, June 18th, the air conditioner ran nonstop all night. We changed the system to "Auto" for the night of Friday, June 19th and the system went on and off as needed; however, when the system was not running, there was a constant sound of water being pumped through the system, which woke us up during the night. The fact that the headboard of the bed was located within inches of the air conditioning system did not help matters. Perhaps the unit was designed to have the bed at the opposite end of the room. On the night of Saturday, June 20th, the system quit cooling at all, resulting in a very hot and uncomfortable night. We rose early on Sunday to have coffee elsewhere and then quickly cleaned up and packed our belongings to leave 2 hours before checkout time at 10:00 a.m. It's a shame that some owners choose not provide the simplest of necessities or perform the minimum amount of maintenance to justify the rather high rent asked for one of these cottages. I would not recommend this cottage to anyone until the owner sees fit to provide proper furniture and kitchen necessities, make necessary repairs and fix the air conditioner. We have been vacationing in Seaside for over 25 years and have never stayed in a cottage so poorly furnished or maintained. Very disappointing!
