The location was great, the cottage was nice. The major downside was the beds were extremely uncomfortable.

Hi Rebecca, thank you for your review. We are glad you liked the cottage and the location. We do apologize for the beds not being comfortable. We hope to host you again in the future!
Liked the proximity to stores and restaurants. Bathroom lighting could have been brighter but managed. Place was relatively clean upon arrival but could have been better. Needed a water hose on the outside spigot, would make it more useful. Overall liked the cottage

Beautiful setting. Very quiet but also close to attractions, dining and shopping.
Actual cottage was rundown looking with stains on carpeting and couches. There were fingerprints and smudges on surfaces that were easily wiped away with Clorox wiped. Overall the cottage was not super dirty but also not very clean either.
House was as expected, clean etc. the one bad spot was the pots and pans in the kitchen. Really hard to cook at this place. In need of upgrades. Everything else was as the listing stated. Love the location.
It was exactly as described, a very cute little house, the common area is small, so if there are several adults staying in the house it may be a little crowded. For us it was perfect, 2 adults (female friends) and 2 children. We were in cottage G, which is the first cottage coming in, I think I would have liked being closer to the pool and beach, but it is literally a short walk to both!!! I have zero complaints about the property.
