Hello, I am here to review the all season seafront cottage. My wife and I stayed here for 5 days for our honeymoon trip during the "off season" of tourism. I will just list pros and cons. Before I do that, however, I would like to say that the host (Spyros) and his family are exceedingly pleasant and attentive hosts. They made the stay just that much better with their kind attitudes and responsiveness. A+ host!!! Now to the nitty gritty details:

Pros-

This house is a fabulous bargain for large groups!! Seriously you could sleep 6 people comfortably; 10 people if you utilized the three couches and the crib. The provided staples (eggs, juice, milk, toast, cereal, and Raki) were invaluable and promote money savings by influencing you to make your own meals. There are also many inexpensive tavernas that are very good nearby. Speaking of location, this house is a PERFECT jump-off point to go to Balos Bay; the most beautiful beach I have EVER seen and the small, quaint town of Kissamou that is full of friendly faces and good food (and necessities such as a laundry mat, drugstore, and gas station).

Cons-

The wifi was an issue (it didn't work). Spyros, being the amazing host that he is (seriously awesome), offered some solutions; the thing is I am an eternal nerd and I know my way around routers and modems. I had already tried said solutions before even bringing the issue up and when it became apparent that there was just no wifi I chalked it up to an L(oss) and moved on. There are plenty of places in town (5 min drive) to get wifi. The reason I think its a con is because if you advertise wifi on Airbnb (a website!) it better be there. My distaste simply stems from the fact that it wasnt as advertised. Could he have fixed it: Most likely, but it was an issue from the beginning and it affected my outlook on the property. Another issue is the house is not weather sealed, so a few little creepy crawlers visited us during our stay (nothing nasty just the occasional lizard (lol) and mosquito; which were heavily mitigated by the misquito tape and bug repellent provided by host). May be an issue for some; it was for my wife (not me though).

(Neutral) other info-

There is a washer machine w/ detergent provided, but no dryer. They had a drying rack outside for clothes which I assume works great in the summer months, but we had rain and overcast skies when we were there so it was unusable. No biggie. The house itself is an older style beach house. Being from Cali and having stayed in these types of houses with college friends, I know that they have older, more sensitive electrical systems. Be careful of using too many appliances at the same time, lest you blow a fuse or trip the circuit breaker.

Overall: 7.5 out of 10
