The house is so charming and very clean. It had everything you need. We l Ioved the neighborhood, perfect for walking. The beds and pillows are so comfortable. The water pressure is great in the shower. New washer and dryer, so nice to have. Mom is ready to go again.

Fours hours before check-in, the host informed us she had double-booked our stay. She first offered a completely different property far from the beach and nothing like what we reserved. After we declined and found our own place nearby, she suddenly suggested another option that actually matched our original criteria, something that should have been offered from the start, not after sending us to a cheaper place 20 minutes west of the beach. Unfortunately, this experience showed that people often choose what’s most convenient for them, not what’s right for their guests

HOST: The host(s) attempted intimidation from the start. They sent us two separate e-mails that threatened to cancel our reservation if we didn't pay an (unspecified) balance due. Everything had been prepaid. Then the host sent a blunt e-mail about our having to take out the recycle and trash bins. When we arrived Wednesday afternoon the trash bin, located right near the front porch, reeked of rotting fish. Hard to say when it had been last emptied, but it stunk throughout our stay. The final host intimidation came in a threatening e-mail saying if we checked out more than 15 minutes late, we'd be charged an additional 25, and if over an hour late there would be an additional full day's charge. We locked the door on checkout day at 10:45 AM to leave, then tried to quickly re-enter briefly to check for my wife's earrings, but the entry code would no longer work! NOISE: Nowhere in the advertising was a train mentioned that runs past every couple of hours, 24/7, blowing its loud whistle repeatedly, sounding like it's passing through the front yard of the cottage. We paid the pet fee and took our Shih Tzu with us, only to have it frightened day and night by the ungodly train noise. And restful sleep was impossible. UNSATISFACTORY FEATURE: A hair dryer was furnished among the bathroom amenities, but there's no electrical outlet in the bathroom to use it or anything else (i.e., electric razor, curling iron, etc.)! FURNISHINGS: The cottage was very well furnished throughout.

am extremely disappointed with this property and feel it’s important to share our experience for the safety and awareness of future guests. Upon arrival, we found dead bees scattered across the floors, a couple live bees flying inside the house, and ants throughout several areas. The most alarming moment was when a live roach crawled on my husband in the bedroom something no guest should ever have to encounter.The cleanliness and maintenance of this property were far below expectations. Additionally, the listing clearly advertised “waterfront,” but there was absolutely no water access of any kind. This was misleading and added to our overall disappointment.
