This is what I call a ‘no nonsense’ cottage in a great location! The pluses were the location, the layout, the host response time, the views and the charm. The negatives were: the kitchen wasn’t the cleanest, especially inside the cabinets and the dishes and pans. There is no dishwasher so the dishes are only as clean as the last person left them which in our case, wasn’t very clean. The open floor plan of the kitchen and family room were nice. The washer and dryer are on the lower level and you have to go outside to access them. Since it was cold when we were there, this was not optimal. The only other negative was the size of the two bathrooms inside the house…VERY small, but, newer and clean. The downstairs bathroom, again accessible by going outside, was functional but not clean. We had to wash our own towels before we left which is hard to do when check out is 10 am and folks need to shower before leaving. However, with all that said, if you are looking for a charming home directly on the water with good space for your family AND you need an affordable price, this is a great home. The host was very responsive and helpful.
