"Everything was reasonably fine. The little porch area could have been cleaner. The sheets on my bed did not stay secured and I couldn’t pull the bed out to retuck them in. The grill did not work well. Other than that, the cottage was well equipped and comfortable. The location was perfect with everything walkable. I enjoyed my stay very much and will come back again when my schedule allows it.I had no communication with the host during my stay which is a good thing as I had no issues to address."

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful home on a quiet country road. Very peaceful. Had the whole family out and still had room. The boys enjoyed the pool table and skee ball machine. Sitting out on the deck listening to the wind rustling the leaves in the trees was very relaxing. Just a 3 minute walk to the beach. It’s a bit small for a large family like ours so we took the drive into town for the beach there. Kitchen was supplied with everything one would need. The host was quick to respond to any issue although we had none. Definitely would stay again."
