Full disclosure, our trip was taken over by falling ill the day of arrival and utilizing the space for recovery for the remainder of our stay. To that end, this review reflects our unexpected needs for recovery during our stay.
Barbara was extremely communicative in every way. She checked in for our arrival time to best provide us with a convenient means of unloading via temporary use of the driveway. As a note, updates on your estimated arrival time will be appreciated.
There was a bit of a mix up on payment of the $98 tax in cash upon arrival so be sure to place the cash in the envelope and the envelope into the black mailbox outside the bungalow door immediately upon arrival.
Two individual space heaters were provided and much appreciated for our recovery. One is a radiator space heater, the other is a fan space heater. We found the fan space heater more effective and continuously moved it around with us in the unit. We always carry an extension cord and power strip with us and made good use of it to extend the reach of the heater.
The unit had nearly everything we needed and Barbara quickly accommodated with anything else. We ended up requesting the following: new dish sponge, strainer, peeler, chopping knife, additional toilet paper, tissue box, and replacement garbage bags. A small pot and several pans are provided. Though I’m sure Barbara would have provided one had we asked, we brought our own large pot to make a big batch of soup. About halfway through our stay, Barbara offered to provide a fresh set of towels which we gladly accepted.
A couple things to note for future guests:
Ants do sometimes enter the unit. Traps are placed outside but just something to keep in mind. Wi-Fi hardly works in the bedroom so anticipate using it more in the other parts of the unit. The fire alarm will go off when cooking since there is no stove hood in the unit. To alleviate this, we would keep doors and windows open while one of us would fan the fire alarm while cooking. Also there is no dish drying rack which would be helpful if you plan to do a lot of cooking and dish washing but I’m sure one would have been provided if requested.
Overall our stay was pleasant. We very much enjoyed the back patio when the sun was shining on it. Parking wasn’t a problem and the proximity to various attractions and necessities is phenomenal.
