A quaint cottage with traditional furnishings. It could feel very homey. Our negative rating is related to the lack of cleanliness. When we arrived, we were not sure if the place had been cleaned based on the state of the bathroom. There was a wad of hair in the sink. The bathroom drawers had hair and dirt - obviously not cleaned from the prior resident. The second BR shower was grimy with sandy residue in the shower floor. The kitchen cabinets were sticky on the outside with food residue on many of the shelves. everything needed to be wiped down before settling in. The kitchen was very dated with a mish mash of utensils, random and dated (and in some cases rusted)cookware. The coffee maker was so grimy, we opted not to spend the time to clean and use it. We did clean the fridge before placing our food in it. Honestly, I spent several hours cleaning before we could settle in. There were several items that were broken and uncertain if it was because of general poor upkeep or if it was due to prior client.
I am comfortable with ‘old and tired) vintage house and furnishing, but it needs to be clean. I would suggest fresh pillows and updated towels. Consider thinning out unnecessary kitchen items and organizing what is left.
We loved being on the island, but will consider a place that is a bit cleaner.
