This property offers good value for the money, but there are a few issues.
First, the good things: cottage is located on a wonderful part of the island, near great local beaches, convenient to grocery stores and restaurants, in an agricultural area that has not been overdeveloped or spoiled. Kelly responded quickly to emails and greeted us warmly on our arrival. She provided lots of helpful local advice.
The cottage has basic but adequate furnishings. There is no dishwasher, and there was no plug for the sink, which made it difficult to clean dishes. The stove needs to be replaced. The ceiling fans were appreciated.
My biggest complaint is the lack of comfortable, usable outdoor space at this property. There is a screened in patio off the kitchen, but there is no view and it’s not particularly inviting or comfortable. There is a fire pit in front of the cottage, but it is apparently not used and it is surrounded by broken-down wooden chairs. These could easily be repaired or replaced, which would significantly upgrade the overall experience. There is no comfortable outdoor spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or glass of wine in the evening. The grill is old, dirty, and did not work. Last, but not least, right outside the front door is a small lumberyard from which various trucks come and go periodically. The noise is not really a problem, but you should not expect a bucolic, resort-like atmosphere.
