Pros: Cottage is beautifully appointed and clean with most amenities one could need. The location is lovely, a block from the beach and a quick drive into town.
Cons: Host was verbally abusive and displayed erratic and unpredictable behavior. Host demanded that we pack our bags and leave. We did not feel safe in the cottage so we made other accommodations for the remainder of our trip. This rental is not safe.
Timeline: Thursday/Friday daytime we didn’t see hosts. Friday night we returned to the cottage and proceeded to sit on the pool edge and dip our toes in the water as the pool/deck lights were on. Minutes later, one of the hosts appeared on the balcony overlooking the pool. The host inflated a pool float and dropped it off the balcony and walked down the stairs. The host got in the water and walked across the pool and introduced themselves. We introduced ourselves and we all shook hands. The host then told us we were violating pool hours and we needed to leave. The host’s tone shifted from polite to aggressive. The host began to throw verbal assaults at us as we quickly exited the pool area. The host screamed at us and said we needed to pack our bags and leave. We packed our things in disarray. The host stayed in the pool and was staring up at us in the cottage. As we exited the property (together in one trip as we felt extremely uncomfortable), the host began to yell and scream at us again. We opened the gate, backed out our minivan, and left, shaking.
