We booked this cottage primarily for the large outdoor space, waterfront access, fire pit, and water activities shown in the listing. Unfortunately, the property we arrived at was quite different from what was advertised and is still being advertised.There was significant yard damage making parts of the property unusable and unsafe for our young grandson and small dog. The sand has been completely washed away and the interlock stones have been lifted and loose, making it unsafe to walk in some places. This damage was done in the spring and was not repaired by our trip the end of August.There is now a fence in the backyard dividing the property and limiting access to areas shown in the listing photos, including the original fire pit area. On the left of the fence is the smaller cottage which was rented out separately. Several amenities pictured were either unavailable or reduced, including kayaks and seating in the yard and on the dock. As the fire pit in the picture is accessible only to the smaller cottage, there was a small cylinder being used as a fire pit for the large cottage.Had we known the property no longer matched the listing, we would likely have chosen a different cottage for our family of 8.
