The cottage is in a quiet community, conveniently located by Wal-Mart, the beach and the main drag. We had more than enough room for two people. The price was reasonable for a week long stay, similar to hotels in the area. The cottage has alot of potential, but has seriously fallen flat. Upon walking in, you get the feeling that the cleaning company did the bare minimum, like a surface clean and not a deep thorough clean. The floor felt sticky, and carpet was heavily stained and not really vacuumed.
All of the floor mats are dingy and need to be replaced. We immediately washed the bed linen and all the towels, and dishes before using them all though they appeared clean. The patio had a broken box spring on it and the grill was unusable as someone had put charcoal in the propane heated grill. The owner was contacted about the box spring, and the floors. He responded promptly. The cleaning company came that same day to remove the box spring, which they just threw on the side of the road. They did nothing about the floors. The front of the of the silverware drawer fell off just by shutting it and had to be put back on 3 times. The owner was only contacted the one time as we were trying to enjoy our vacation and we didn't want the hassle of dealing with the cleaning company everytime we found something wrong. We just made do. The place would be so much nicer if the owner just put in a bit more effort. Touch up paint, professionally steam cleaning the carpet, replacing the floor mats, and fixing the cabinets would really make a difference.
