Nice cottage in a pretty and quiet area with a very short walk to a great beach. It is quite roomy, the kitchen well-equipped, and the yard is large with lots of room for outdoor games. The weekend we went, it was very hot and the house was initially stuffy when we arrived, but having the ceiling fans going and open windows cooled things down.
Our major complaint was the cleanliness. The two bathrooms appeared very clean. However, the rest of the place didn’t look like it had been cleaned in some time. While we can appreciate that it is a pet-friendly property, almost every sofa and chair was covered with animal hair as well as the carpets. We ended up using just one sofa we cleared as best we could. There was dust on many common surfaces. The kitchen had cobwebs on the stove, the tablecloth had stains and leftover food and crumbs on it, and the fridge hadn’t been wiped out.
I’d recommend that the house be thoroughly vacuumed on all surfaces and aired out well, including the basement, which was very musty. Since there are two double beds in the basement, if a larger group were renting, folks stuck in the basement would find it dark, stuffy and close even though there’s quite a bit of space down there. The windows down there couldn’t be opened because one screen had a big hole and the other didn’t have one.
