The cottage was so-so, but the area and sunsets were amazing. Check-in was great even though we arrived ahead of 4pm. She confirmed with the owner the place had been cleaned recently, which I find hard to believe. Upon arrival, we quickly noticed the exterior had not been maintained for quite awhile. Unmowed grass, overgrown weeds, spider webs everywhere. And with an overgrown yard next to the water in July come bugs. SO MANY BUGS! There were spiders, mosquitos, flies, flying ants, gnats and wasps covering the outside of the cottage. The wasps have made a home within the wood siding just outside the bedroom window. The yard has a cute fire pit area we could have enjoyed in the evenings to keep the bugs away, but there were poisonous spiders on the patio furniture & cushions so we decided to steer clear. Again, no way was it cleaned recently. I wish I had noticed the pic of the exterior was taken in the winter when none of this is a problem. Also no dock or shoreline as shown in the pics either. The staircase down to the water is so overgrown with foliage/weeds I wasn't about to find out what other bugs and such were in there. Once we were able to make it inside, the place wasn't necessarily clean and the front door and frame NEED to be replaced. The screen door is warped leaving about 2" between it and the front door. The door frame is rotted out and has a hole that has been stuffed with duct tape--great first impression. Dead mosquitos lined the window sills, tables and counters. Again, no way was it cleaned recently. We later realized the mosquitos and flying ants were coming in around the window frames as they either need to be resealed or replaced. We were forced to buy cleaner for the interior and exterior just to feel like we could relax. The layout of the cottage is cute and spacious, but the poor window ac unit in the living room can't handle the square footage of the place. Another unit is really needed in the bedroom. It would have been nice to open the windows at night, but that was a no-go with the bug situation outside. Plus side, we were able to take advantage of the new Weber charcoal grill outside by buying tiki citronella torches and the sunset views were AWESOME! The town is so incredibly cute--lots to do! Overall, this place has so much potential to be fantastic for couples to relax, but maintenance is needed!!!!! We'd consider coming back in the winter, but will never visit again in the summer unless these issues are fixed!!
