The Cottons lovely and spacious. We enjoyed staying there but a few things:My sheets had rust stains in a few places. The fan in the living room runs constantly making it freezing in that room. We tried everything and could not turn it off. Lastly, an exterminator should probably treat the cottage. We killed several earwigs and there was either a small water bug or baby roach in our bathroom.

Thank you, Larry and Jamie, for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear that you found the Cottons lovely and spacious, but we’re truly sorry to learn about the issues you encountered during your stay. Rust stains on sheets and a constantly running fan are not the standards we strive for, and we appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention. We will address the fan situation and ensure our linens are thoroughly checked and replaced as needed. Regarding the pest concerns, we take this very seriously and will coordinate with our local team to ensure the property is treated appropriately. Your comfort and peace of mind are our top priorities, and we want to make sure every guest feels at home. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll consider staying with us again. We’re committed to providing a better experience next time.

Perfect house with mini beach

We booked this house because of the “mini beach” in the backyard for my 3 year old. We all ended up having so much fun we didn’t even go to the actual beach. We rented a boat and were able to dock it at the house. House was clean and cozy! Water was so clear too! We 1000% will book again

Nice view

Nice view out back. The beach area out back in the photos is only 15 feet across. I was under the impression we would be able to walk along the beach. Very nice unit. Clean with new appliances.

Cozy and well appointed bungalow on the water

Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would recommend/stay here, again. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had what was needed to cook in and the home was clean and clutter free. We had a little glitch with the keyless entry after we arrived, but a locksmith was sent out that evening and we were given physical keys which worked fine. The waterfront location was peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed having big tables inside and on the dock when we wanted to hang out and eat in. We would definitely stay here, again.

Property was nice, loved being on water and size was nice. Getting to it was concerning you pass some run down trailer parks and houses before getting to the newer area. Quiet and would stay there again. Issues with cleaning company. No paper towel, shirt left in closet, dishwasher still had dishes in it, dirt and spider webs under cabinets and stove. Dirt on outside decks not blown off, lots of debris. Also smoke detector battery went bad and bathroom lights flicker when showering. Also had issues with sprinklers where they ran almost all day tues and thurs but when notifying vasca they felt it was how owner had set up. Made it difficult to use the yard and get to dock with them constantly going off. Otherwise, everything was good.

At the same time, we want to sincerely apologize for the cleanliness and maintenance issues you encountered during your stay. This is certainly not the experience we strive to provide, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with missing supplies, leftover items, and the other concerns you mentioned. We hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you.

ProsHad a wonderful stay. Dock is spacious and a great spot for the family to hang out. Would definitely stay again. ConsNo drinking glasses. Listing needs to be more upfront that the property and dock are shared with the adjacent unit.
