We loved how close the cottage is to the beach (walking distance was a great bonus!) The lanai was perfect and we enjoyed the big back yard and the privacy. The sand toys and boogie boards were great too. Although the cottage is older, it’s decorated nicely. There were several elements of our stay here we really liked, there were also some disappointments: the clack of cleanliness being first. The floors were filthy. They had been swept but it was evident they have not been actually cleaned in a long time. They left our feet feeling sticky and black on the bottoms. One of the reasons we chose this place to stay was because other reviews said it was clean. The shower curtain liner was moldy, the light fixtures full of dead bugs and bathroom fan was so coated in grimy dust I’m not sure how any air could get through it. With two kids 3 and under we were disappointed that we needed to wear our shoes inside to keep our feet clean. And bathing your kids next to a moldy shower curtain doesn’t yield a positive vibe either. We also felt the cottage was lacking in hand towels. As a family of 6 we blew through them in a day and although there is a washer and drier on site (also a plus), for a house that accommodates this many one wouldn’t expect to need to launder everyday to avoid running out of clean hand towels.
