Nice place far away from everything

The inside of the property was renovated and looked very nice. It could have been cleaner. Someone with a dog must have stayed in the cottage before we did because we found dog hair in the corners of the room. The appliances were great. The cottage was not equipped for families because there were only wine glasses available. A few regular tumblers made of something less breakable would be nice. The cottage was far away from everything. You have to drive for at least 25 minutes to get to a store that does not charge an arm and a leg. The beach was close but you could not walk to it if you had kids and beach gear. There was public parking close but there were only about ten or so parking spots. The pools on the property were nice.

Overall very good

We enjoyed our stay, the floors weren’t very clean on our arrival, you could feel the grime on the floor, probably from sand. But over all very good, spacious enough for 5 adults, 3 children and a dog! Short drive to the beach, the pool was nice and the property was very well kept.

Roaches on Premises / Parking Spaces / Screen-in Porch Dirty

On arrvial to our cottage location. The parking lot in front of our cottage was fully occupied with other vehicles up until the evening of recieving your call. There was a area that appeared to be a parking space on the side of our cottage so we assumed that it was our designed parking space because all of the other spaces were occupied by other vehicles leaving us no other parking options other than were we parked. We was unaware that it was not our designated parking spot! We was not aware that our designed parking space was right in front of our cottage until receiving a call from your front office annoucancing we had been fine for parking in the wrong area. We believe this is a unjust fine because apparently there were no parking enforcement to ensure that all guest parked in the corrected designed spaces. I requested to speak the boss but have yet to hear from anyone concerning this matter. Our water was shut off for maintance without notice for serveral hours. The screen in porch was dirty with dog food and spilled stains. We clean it up however, house cleaning showed up after we clean the area. We killed several roaches in the kids bunk room. Recommendation: Issue parking permits that can be visable in vehicle windshield to ensure that all guest are parked only in their deginated parking spaces. Mangement have yet to commcate with me directly concerning the parking fine that I believe to be unjust.

Vacation 2022

My family of 10 stayed here this past July. Overall we had a very nice stay. Check in was a bit rough as the find my location App gave us the wrong address and we were stuck outside at 5a.m. for over a hour trying to get ahold of someone. The emergency text line does not work apparently. Finally after going through all of my previous emails I found the correct address. A few things to note if you have a large family that plans on staying. Bring plasticware as there is not enough silverware for a family of 10. Also pick up some bleach or cleaning spray as the cleaners they use do a sufficient job, but not to my standards. The master bath shower curtain was full of mold and taped together. The couch in the living room was full of stains. We threw a blanket over it and that worked out fine. And the table on the screened in porch was almost black with dirt. A bit of cleaner and some scrubbing and it cleaned up pretty well although I feel like I shouldn't have had to do that on vacation. The master bed was clean and super comfortable. And the bedroom with the twin beds worked out well for all 4 of my teenage girls. Location to the beach was great! It's pretty far away from any touristy areas so if you like quiet this would be good. I did like that it sat on a corner very close to the nature preserve with a good view instead of having to look at other houses. Overall my family had a good time.

Nice place, great location

This cottage is in a great location relative to the beach, shopping etc and the building itself is set up pretty well. Pros: location, beds were comfortable, pools were easily accessible and the perfect temperature, the screened porch was great for the evenings. The property management company is really helpful!! Cons: the unit says it accommodates up to 10 people, but the dining area, living area, and porch only really accommodate 6 comfortably. You get a parking pass for 1 vehicle. You must BUY a second parking pass, which seems ridiculous when you are paying to rent someplace. The kitchen was missing a lot of things such as a broom (for all the sand!) and basics like more than 1 dish towel. And there were no rugs anywhere to help control the sand (or bath mats).

Disappointing stay

Prior to arrival we were contacted about pet fees and parking, which we thought was already covered in fees paid prior which we were not given breakdown of in initial quote. Upon arrival, there were several noted issues. Kitchen: drawer pull was missing on utensils drawer and only 5 forks, rest of utensils were plentiful. There was a major lack of cups/glasses- many coffee mugs, wine glasses, ice cream cups, etc. but no regular glasses for a family There was no dish detergent in the unit nor any srubbbing brush to clean pans etc that could not be put in the dishwasher. Flooring: there were gaps in the flooring in many doorways and in front of tubs/showers. Bathrooms: guest bath had NO shower liner, only the cloth one so all water spilled into the floor. Main bath: the shower curtain that was there was torn and missing several curtain hooks as well. We had an issue with a smoke alarm on Sunday and given the holiday weekend, it took a few hours to get a replacement battery which is understandable. On Tuesday morning, we were contacted by the management office about a contractor coming out to measure for new flooring, which we had to adjust our schedules due to the dogs in the home and not comfortable letting someone in without one of us present.. This delayed family morning outings by more than an hour that were planned (were only given 15-20 min notice that they were coming). On Thursday morning we were woken to the sounds of drills and screws on the roof. We immediately emailed and called the management office and were told at first there was no knowledge of this. A follow up call was made to us to convey they had overlooked an email from a week prior that this was scheduled. The work went on till way iinto the afternoon, causing again issues with schedules and with dogs as well. We were offered 1 $25 gift card for a family of 6 for "waking us up early" and this was not even delivered until after 5 pm after we had left for dinner and could not be used until the last day of our trip. We ventured out the next day to use the minigolf/ice cream shop portion of the gift card only to find out the ice cream shop was closed. It was disappointing to only be offered that small sum for a family of 6 given the accomodations we had made in our schedulles multiple times for things we should have been alerted to prior to our trip . These could have been handled on nonoccupied days. Overall disappointing trip.

Great location/Great main pool, no wifi

The location and facilities were really great! Dog friendly area and it was really nice to be able to walk the dogs on the beach near the house. The large main pool area was great also. It was very relaxing and very clean. Our only issues were there was no wifi at all during our stay and sand flies made it impossible to walk the dogs from the house. Leaving the house to walk down the road they would swarm us and bite/sting. That part was aweful. We ended up driving to the pool to avoid them and driving the dogs to the beach for walks. The flies were not a problem by the pool or the beach. We were told someone was scheduled to come out to work on the wifi the day we were leaving. I hope they were able to get it fixed for the next group to stay there, although we did notice this seemed to be an issue often mentioned in the reviews. The sandflies are apparently a seasonal issue and of course beyond their control. We were able to use the screened porch area without being bothered by them. This place would be an excellent place to stay when the sand flies are not an issue.

Quiet and away from the crowds

We drove in from out of state, arriving around 8pm., after sunset. Upon arriving at the unit, we were surprised to find that it is located right next to the main road leading out to Fort Morgan, which is a 55mph road. At night, it was relatively quiet, but during the day, we couldn't sit outside on the enclosed porch due to the noise of the cars driving by. Entering the house, it was exactly as the picture shows, but the photos must have been taken when it was new and in mint condition. Now, the furniture is in "ok" shape, with some stains and obvious wear and tear of a rental property. The mattresses have deep impressions, but were relatively comfortable. The kitchen, while well equipped, needs some new skillets as the ones provided had burn/scorch marks and were unusable. The kitchen did have a toaster, Keurig and regular coffee maker, blender, garbage disposal, dishwasher. We did not use the in unit washer and dryer but appreciate that detergent was provided. There were plenty of clean towels provided, both in the bathrooms and the kitchen. The TV had cable and plenty of stations available, although if you want to use your own Netflix account, you can't because it requires access to the password for their Dish account. There are two pools in the complex, find the larger one at the back. Very nice with plenty of chairs, restrooms, etc. The last thing to mention is that when we woke up the first morning after arriving the prior evening after dark, and I looked a bit closer at the house, it was not very clean. There were cobwebs in the corners of the ceilings and dirt in the corner of all the baseboards and floors. I do have photos if the mgmt company is interested in seeing them. The unit could use a coat of paint, as the walls have many scuffs and scrapes. Lastly, please include the code to the keybox on the porch on our check out instructions. I had to contact someone, who rather rudely told me to "check my email". I installed the app at the suggestion of the mgmt company when I booked the property so that is where I got the info for check in, which was no longer available to me on the day of checkout. Only the check OUT instructions, which did not include the code.

Would rent again

Thank you for being pet-friendly! The house is lovely. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of cookware available. We were able to have breakfast and dinner at the house every day. That’s such a help on the budget! And the layout is so good. There was just my husband and I, two kids, and two dogs so we didn’t even use one of the bedrooms! We just shut the doors and left it alone. The beach is a bit farther away than it seems on the site. Roughly a mile or just a little more, which isn’t horrible, but definitely far enough you have to drive when you have a small child with you. We were disappointed with the pool situation. It is not heated and the weather was cool, so we weren’t able to use it. There’s also no hot tub available as pictured. Again a bummer, but note a deal breaker. Overall it was a good stay in a nice house!
