The cottage is decorated nicely, but there are definitely housekeeping issues in addition to a wet dog smell in the furniture and cottage. The couch seems worn out and uncomfortable. The bathroom floor was dirty to the point we didn’t want to walk on it without our shoes on - we cleaned it. The area rugs are filthy. There are also cob webs, spiders, dust, thread barren sheets and bedding, holes in sheets, pillow shams and couch pillows, dirty windows, shower liner and absolutely filthy stinky furniture. I know the cottage is pet friendly but dog hair on the stove, counters, refrigerator and furniture can be cleaned between guests. I did notify the owner of the wet dog smell on the night of check in and her recommendation was to turn the A/C on or open the window. We told her it was cold and we had the heat on. We didn’t tell her about the cleanliness issues until we checked out because they are so bad, I believe it will not be a quick fix. The property is advertised as steps from the beach. It is about 2 blocks from the sea. It is also advertised with a garage. There is no garage. I was very disappointed.
