So happy you had a good time and the home was really clean. We do mention in the listing that there isn't a dishwasher in the home, but we do provide dish soap to clean dishes the old fashioned way for all guests. Thank you

We really enjoyed our stay at this cute 3-bedroom, 1-bath home. The location was fantastic—close to the beach, playgrounds, shops, and restaurants, making it easy to get around and enjoy the area.The backyard was a wonderful space for the kids to run around and play, while the screened-in porch was the perfect spot to relax after a day at the beach. We also appreciated the shed stocked with beach supplies, which was such a thoughtful and convenient touch.The home is older, but it was clean, well cared for, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kids especially loved the bunk room—it was definitely a highlight for them!Overall, this was a great place for our family, and we would happily stay here again.

Excellent place

Disliked: Listing accuracy

We were expecting a “cottage” when we rented it but we’re definitely shocked and disappointed. The furniture and rugs were very dirty, the yard and driveway were weedy and unkept. The furniture has plywood for the bed springs. We used to the place to shower and sleep only. It was also very buggy. Not what we were expecting, especially for the price. Would not recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear the home did not meet your expectations. We understand how disappointing it can be when a property isn't what you envisioned. This feedback was surprising to us, as this home has consistently received great reviews from previous guests, and it is cared for by the same professional cleaning team that has maintained it throughout those stays. While this experience does not reflect the standard we strive to provide, we've shared your comments with our team so the concerns you mentioned—including the condition of the furnishings, outdoor maintenance, and pest control—can be thoroughly reviewed and addressed. As a cottage surrounded by nature, the occasional insect can be unavoidable, but we do have regular pest treatments in place and are always looking for ways to improve. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue enhancing the guest experience, and we wish you all the best in your future travels.
