While this vacation rental has a beautiful waterfront location and lovely views, the rest of the property falls short. The property has great potential, but maintenance, cleanliness, and hospitality issues significantly impacted our stay.The listing photos and description are outdated and do not accurately reflect the property. Instructions throughout the cottage were inconsistent and confusing. Bed linens and bath towels were poor quality, and there were no window coverings in any bedroom.The home was not well maintained. The BBQ had to be cleaned before use, the patio furniture was missing cushions, the decks were covered in leaves, and several deck boards were rotting, creating a safety hazard. Many windows were dirty, missing or had damaged screens, and some would not latch properly. The home also needs a thorough deep clean.The advertised kayaks were inaccessible because no key was provided, and they appeared neglected. One bedroom’s window air conditioner was ineffective and blocked the room’s only window.The property manager was unresponsive, an insufficient supply of toilet paper was provided, and despite paying a cleaning fee, we were expected to strip beds, start laundry, and sweep before checkout.With proper maintenance, cleaning, and more responsive management, this could be a wonderful rental. Unfortunately, it did not meet the standard we expected based on the listing or Vrbo marketing practices.
