Great Location

We loved the location of the house, it was a short walk to the beach. It has everything we needed. One reason I’m giving it an 4 starts is because our heat did not work. We could not get clear directions to turn it on or how to trouble shoot even after an email. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Enjoyed Our Stay

We had a great time at the cottage. It was awesome to be able to walk to a beach (carefully along a busy street with no sidewalk). The negatives: the cottage is small, the stairs a bit treacherous, the wiring upstairs a bit sketchy. The positives: the space is maximized nicely, the kitchen works well, and it was clean. We were 4 adults and 2 toddlers and would stay again.

Not as expected

Small, outdated uncomfortable furniture. Dirty living room rug that was a tripping hazard. Partial AC (1 window unit on 1st floor) not adequate. Updated kitchen was well equipped. Staircase to the second floor is narrow and steep.

Cute home, but...

This is a cute, charming home with an updated kitchen. However, the walls are paper thin and floors creaked. You can hear everyone and everything, including the cars since this house is situated on the main road. Trying to sleep is a bit difficult if you like peace and quiet. Also, being on the main road, the walk to the beach is not ideal if you have little kids or elderly. There are no sidewalks. Overall, it was a well enough stay for a few days. The house is tidy. Although, it could've been cleaned a little better. We found hair, not ours, in some places and dust and cobwebs were everywhere. In addition, we had a constant presence of carpenter ants. We saw at least 3-5 every day. Any food and drinks needed to be put in the fridge or closed up tight. I gave this home three stars because the house is comparable to glamping in a cabin in the woods.
