Let me begin by saying this cottage is classic Cape Cod, no insulation, wood, ship board walls, and sandy! Driveway, road, all pretty sandy, so you need to get over that fast.
Great place for my 3 grand babies, didn't have to worry about them tracking in sand or mud...or hurting anything. Furniture was old, comfy couch, couple nice chairs, some pretty old. Beds were ok, lots of rooms and beds to sleep in. I noticed the refrigerator seemed warm, but at first thought it was because we were loading it. Sunday night, we went to dish out ice cream, and it was soft. Also that night, when trying to cook on grill, it kept going out. Had to cook inside, which was not ideal as it was 90 degrees. I emailed the owner and immediately was emailed back, full of apologies, and promised new grill and frig next day. They delivered! We were very pleased with the response! Very great people to work with!! Also refunded us a day, which we did not expect nor ask for! The short 500 ft walk to the beach was great, although most of the beach area was private property, and tons of seaweed, so little room to swim.:( That was a bummer.
When we arrived, it was smoking hot out...and there is no a/c in this cottage, but was looking forward to the front porch, only to discover out of 12 windows, only 3 had screens we could use. :( There was plenty of window fans and box fans provided). The porch screens need to work...simple and cheap remedy.
Outdoor shower was great! Hot and cold. Plenty of stuff left to use, cleaning products, TP, paper products...lots of pots and pans, dishes, great TV and cable, wifi etc.
I'd say all in all it was a great week, lots of laughs, kids had a ball playing upstairs and in shower and hose(which we replaced as the one there had huge slice in it) .
Family could use to update this cottage a little...but they were wonderful people to work with...so hard to complain, a few little fixes, and it would be perfect for the price!
