Great location, lots of charm
We booked this for an anniversary trip, and the owner was wonderful. The location was amazing, too. The house is dated but full of charm. The bed and couch were comfortable, and the view from every window was amazing. The only negatives have nothing to do with the house and the obscene fees attached to it. But that is the service, not the house. We would 100% stay here again down the road.

Best View on the Bay
This was the most amazing weekend we have had at a VRBO property! The location is absolutely unbeatable and the cottage is brimming with character and ambiance. We loved every minute of our stay and will definitely return. This property is a gem and we feel so blessed to have found this listing.

Great view
The cottage is very old and out dated. Needs many upgrades. There is only one widow AC unit so the bedrooms are very hot and uncomfortable at night the living room has one couch and a dining room table so very cramped. There is no beach access even if you walk the 3 houses down as instructed there still is no beach access. But the view from out back is amazing especially in the morning.

Great location, little house
The location is amazing! The sound of the waves while sitting on the back porch, the gazebo, or the front yard is amazing. This house is quite small, which was fine for the two of us. It is pretty rustic, but fine for us. All and all we had a good time!

Pleasantly surprised
I was honestly a little nervous when I read some of these negative reviews before my trip, but I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. The cottage is definitely in need of some TLC, but it was clean, functional and comfortable. I had an amazing time! Perfect for someone who doesn’t mind a quaint place with a few blemishes.

Cozy adventure
This place was clean and bright and the host left some nice touches for us, but as noted on another review, not quite up to the description. With that in mind, we came prepared. There only a small heater in the bedroom and a wood stove in the main room. Keeping this going was a chore, but a great way to spend the Thanksgiving holiday. It will be a great memory for years to come.

November get away
The property is right on the water and that has beautiful views. I read several reviews and I was aware of the water pressure but we didn’t have hot water. The inside is what they show you in the pictures. Lots of collectibles which is totally fine. Some of the appliances were dirty. We bought a few scrubbing sponges to help clean pots or pans we used for breakfast.

Hazard House
The pictures you are advertising have to be at least 10 years old! Does not look anything like the pictures. False advertising for sure. Floors are sloped so badly that they are a fall hazard. Also very few electrical outlets so surge protectors are everywhere. That is what I call a fire hazard. Someone from your company needs to inspect this property before someone is hurt and your company will be responsible because you have been told. Certainly not worth the money spent!

NEEDS WORK
The view from the porch was magnificent and the property manager was very friendly! While I appreciate the owner's intent to remain rustic, the property needs A LOT of work. The curb appeal is non-existent, the lawn wasn't cut and needs landscaping, the house was very cluttered, the one A/C window unit could not keep up, the bathroom rugs and bedroom rugs were grungy. Even though we read previous reviews and asked about the access to the "private" beach, it was too far to even advertise a private beach AND you have to cut through someone else's yard to get there. We cut our visit short because the overall experience was not enjoyable.

So disappointing
I was very disappointed when we arrived at the cottage, even before going in it looked dilapidated and in need of a lot of work. On entering the house and looking around it was very disappointing! The photos did not show a true picture of the house, which was very small, old, run down and apparently had black mold in the shower and who knows where else. One of the people with me has asthma and after a few minutes of just looking around she started to wheez and cough and had to use her medication. The stove didn’t work, the kitchen was less than clean, the beach they speak of is not accessible from the house but 2 houses down. If you go over the neighbors yard to get to the beach there is a 500 dollar fine. The porch roof looked like it had rotted boards and was ready to collapse. The kitchen floor was warped and dangerous to my friends and I who are older. All the equipment and grill they speak of looked old and dangerous. I have never given a bad review but I could not let someone else get fooled. It is NOT what is advertised. We are trying to get our money back, but have been told we can’t prove it and the case is closed. Beware.

Not a the most relaxing getaway
I was really excited about staying here but the day of check in quickly diminished my excitement. While we are a very laid back couple who enjoy charming homes with lots of character, this home needs work inside and out. I wish I could post the pictures and video we took, but as I look back and compare many of these pictures are very outdated. Here are some of the issues we contended with during our stay: 1. Prior to arrival we were informed by the property manager that there was an electrical surge and the oven would not be working during our stay. She indicated she was aware and was headed to the property with a technician to address the issue. When I called her back later in the afternoon to see if it was fixed as we planned to cook during our stay, she indicated a part needed to be ordered and would not be arriving in time for our stay. 2. Upon arrival, the door was unlocked so we could access and we were told the key would be left on the table. There was no key left. When we alerted the property manager, we were told that she was going out of town and no one local would be available to bring us a key but we were in a safe neighborhood so we shouldn’t worry. 3. We had to flip breaker switches to plugs in the bedroom within the first 30 minutes of being in the home. 4. The master bedroom door does not close so if you are staying with others and looking for privacy, you likely won’t have much. 5. The bathroom door sticks as well and can be somewhat challenging to close. 6. The shower is incredibly slippery and the tile is chipping so be careful. 7. Dishes we hadn’t even used were dirty upon arrival. 8. There were no trash cans in the whole house. It was not until our last day that we noted two sitting out on the front patio. And we still had to take all our trash to the dump. The views are beautiful and it is a quiet little town, but in all honesty if the realistic pictures as to what the property looks like today had been shown on VRBO and we hadn’t fully committed to this trip, we would have found an alternative spot to stay.

Come for the view, cottage is in dire need of renovation
We booked this cottage for our 25th wedding anniversary. We were quite surprised at how rundown and neglected it looked. Yes, it was clean and had a kitsch y vibe, but there were broken items strewn around the premises, paint on all the windows, duct taped wooden columns for the pergola, a peeling painted kitchen sink, uneven floor and an uninviting shower.Even the flyswatter was dry rotted. When I sent feedback to the host/ manager she called me and said I was nitpicking. Said she was proud of the condition of the property and it had gotten " raving " reviews. I actually cried the first night there because I was so disappointed. The photos of the property are deceiving. It looks good from a distance, but up close you see the poor quality of workmanship. Some things could be tweaked fairly easily to make it much more appealing.
