This cottage is best described as the "barest minimum" or the " most basic"....It wasn't that the cottage was dirty, it was simply completely lacking in any charm and was pretty dark and dreary. The house had obviously been recently purchased and hastily "remodeled". For our stay the place still had a very heavy paint smell and no effort had been put in to add air fresheners or flowers or anything. There were no instructions on how to connect to the internet, what to do with garbage or recycling, what to do with sheets and stuff at checkout.
The cottage included what appeared to be a welcome basket and the fridge had some Gatorade, Diet Cokes and Beer and a frozen pizza...or something along those lines, I didn't look that closely...but who would know whether those were complimentary or not since there was no note or instructions.
There is no dining table, the furniture is all miss matched and appears to have been perhaps purchased used and included a older, somewhat stained couch. The pillows and bedsheets were basic. There is a small deck off the side door with table and chairs that overlooks the overgrown lot next to the property. The kitchen appliances seem new as do the bathroom fixtures...all part of the remodel The cottage is dark, but clean...though the hastily done cleaning job on our stay had left areas where the cleaning spray had not been wiped off. There is a TV with wifi that worked fine...which was key because phone reception and internet on my AT&T phone was not great.
For 90 bucks a night this place would have been perfectly fine for my sailing crew and I, but the $300 we paid for a somewhat last minute July 4th weekend reservation was simply highway robbery considering the bare bones, charmless condition of the cottage.
The owner communicated quickly and efficiently, but put almost no effort into being a welcoming host as I mentioned, no welcome note, no instructions, no information packets on local restaurants, points of interest or anything. The central AC unit broke prior to our arrival and the host put in a window unit that cooled the entire house as promised.
Under no conditions would I return to this place for one penny more than $100 per night.
