We regret booking this place, it was expensive and much nicer places could be found for the price. We were expecting a better place, particularly inside. Outside, on arrival, the cottage looks appealing, with a big yard. Cheap chairs were scattered all around the yard, including 2 plastic, lightweight Adirondack chairs, one falling apart that should be thrown out. . An old, unusable hammock between 2 trees on the perimeter of the property. A quality self-standing hammock placed on the lawn would be a plus.
The entrance is from a worn concrete patio that needs resurfacing, or a deck placed over it. Their is a makeshift stair to the entrance door, 4 loose concrete blocks, one broken, and a steep step up. This is dangerous, a real step is needed. No screen door on the entrance. A nice table w/umbrella is on this patio, newer plastic chairs surrounding it without the big yellow label on each removed...time had not been taken to remove the labels.
Inside, the place has no "charm", we were disappointed when we walked in. Although it was clean, it is a bare bones place: chipped paint everywhere, rundown or cheap furniture, duct tape around 3 of the 4 room/ window air conditioners, windows that do not open in the bedrooms( the only way to get fresh air in the 2 bedrooms is to run the a/c), very uncomfortable bunk beds in the 2nd bedroom, suitable for young children only.
This place would not hold 4 adults comfortably...., a queen size bed that takes up most of the 1st bedroom that is too high ( short people might need a ladder!). Although the mattress is comfortable and newer, the a/c blows right over the bed. Perhaps the a/c units could be put through the walls so that the windows could be opened and the a/c wouldn't blow right on the beds?. Screens for most windows need replacing. Paint job needed, especially on windows . A tiny bathroom with a child-sized toilet,anyone over 200 lbs or 6' will have a hard time fitting onto it, or getting up from it. And a very small shower stall.
A big TV was a plus, although only local channels available, except Netflix and Prime through our accounts..There's a boarded up, paint-chipped entrance door in the living room, perhaps make a big picture window in this space so people can look outside?
There were some positives: the location is good, very quiet,the outside yard quiet and spacious. Owners helpful and responsive. Good wireless.
If improvements are made this place could be very desireable.
