We were very excited to stay at 3 Friends Cottage. There was 6 of us in total (2 elderly adults, 2 adults, 2 children). The check in process was very easy and communication about the details of the property were good. We had been notified that the property was having issues with one of the ovens, which was fine as there was two.
Once we got there we realized the second oven didn't really work either, which limited cooking options. Luckily, they had a grill outside and we used that for a few meals. The refrigerator also started alarming the second day we were there and beeped every so often. It was a bit annoying (especially at night) and they did provide us with gift certificates to Southern Soul BBQ to make up for the inconvenience. To be fair, when we contacted the property management about the issues, they stated the owners were in the process of updating the appliances.
All in all the property is nice and the kitchen had everything else you would need to stay for the week (dishes, cook ware, etc). The house seemed to be clean except for the dishwasher and under the beds that looked like they had not been cleaned in a very long time.
We had two big disappointments about the propertyand our reservation. First was that the master bed was super firm and what we called "Rock hard". After two nights of not sleeping we found an extra twin mattress pad on the first floor and put it on one side of the king bed and then used all the extra pillows as a pad on the otherside. The other beds were not as bad, but not the best either. The biggest disappointment was that it is listed as having a water/beach view which is technically accurate but in my opinion should not be listed as such. To see the beach and water you have to stand at the very corner of the deck and lean forward to see the beach or you must be in the master shower and open the shades to see it. Either way, not what we expected for a water view home.
The home all in all met many of our needs such as outdoor space to relax, having an outdoor shower, and having an elevator for the elderly adults which was a nice option (even though we really didn't use it). It is a nice house and has a lot to offer, but in my opinion it is not listed accurately and with the current condition of things is very overpriced. We had a very nice vacation, but will not be staying there again.
