Some solid positives we experienced were the excellent location in a quiet neighborhood, within easy walking distance of the ocean. The outdoor areas were well maintained and the backyard was beautiful and spacious. The place was easy to find and check-in was hassle free. While the cottage did match the pictures, we were disappointed with the cleanliness, finding crusty pots and pans, a coffee maker we didn’t end up using due to a reservoir crusted in old grounds, and dirty floors. When it rained the last day of our stay the roof started to leak in the living room. Of most concern was the amount of mold we noticed around the windows and in the washer on the second day of our stay, which was beyond what we’re used to encountering living on the coast ourselves. To Eric’s credit, he responded instantly to our concern and came out on Christmas Eve morning to clean around the windows and the washer. With a little maintenance and some cleaning TLC we would probably give this one another shot
