This cottage is situated in a very crowded vacation area but only a 4-5 minute walk to the beach. The house is comfortable with a layout conducive to family gatherings. The "bedroom" with a bed and a trundle bed worked for our two kids, but I'm surprised the owner is able to call this a 4th bedroom as it is essentially a large closet without windows. The master bedroom/bath is very nice.
A few areas for improvement--there was no hair dryer on the premises, which seemed like an oversight. Toilet paper and paper towels were not stocked for 8 people. The pillow shams and coverlets/quilts are not washed between stays. There are detailed instructions on all the cleaning the renters must do before the professional cleaning crew comes in--including washing and drying beach towels ("Make sure you wash them on Friday so they're dry on Saturday"), running the dishwasher ("if they won't all fit in one load, start them on Friday"), sweeping and vaccuming the entire premises, wiping down all counters and the refrigerator. We would expect to pick up after ourselves but were a bit put off with all the chores listed. Also, it doesn't seem like there was so much left for the cleaning crew that check out is 10 AM but check in is not possible until 4 PM.
The pools on the property are nice, and there is one just outside the patio doors. However, the closer one closed in the late afternoons/early evenings in a way that was not explained by staff and seemed very arbitrary. (We finally found out that there was a problem with the pool light.) The problem here was communication of property staff not giving reasons for kicking us out. We could not get the gas grills near the pools to ignite.
Overall, we enjoyed the area, but would probably look for a comparable property if we return.
