We liked this property so much, we signed up for another two weeks in 2022. The location is outstanding and suited our family with a 5 year-old and a 3 year-old very well. The kids were able to play at the little beach next door and swim off the dock as well. They liked swinging on the little swing set and playing in the yard. The big kitchen window allowed us to keep an eye on them while we prepared and cleaned up after meals.
The cleanliness of the place was ok. There is carpet in the kitchen, so naturally, there are stains from spills. There is a lot of sand in the carpet since there is a big patch of sand in front of the cottage. There is probably carpet to keep the sand from going everywhere all the time, but it still gets on your feet as you walk around. Probably the only way to avoid all the sand in the cottage would be to put in a patio out front since I doubt thick grass would ever grown there. The baseboards and electrical conduits were pretty dusty. No doubt this place is cleaned after each rental, but there are these design issues that would make it difficult to keep it spotless.
That said, our family felt comfortable there. (How would we keep sand out with a 5 and a 3 year old anyway, right?)
The host was responsive when we said we needed some new lightbulbs and a spatula.
We look forward to coming back next year!
