Vacation
This is a lovely cottage. Perfect location and steps away from the sand. Check-in was a bit late. Not bad. About 20 mins. I would suggest a more thorough cleaning. Under the queen bed was dust, dirt, paper/wrappers and sand. Same under the couch. Sand under the couch cushions. The pan cupboard was a mess. Everything just thrown in there. The shower needs a good scrub. Grout was dirty and you could see the soap scum. The ceiling fans make noise and could be replaced as well. Toilet runs and moves. Needs to be reset before plumbing issues start to occur. I normally would not post these things, but how will the owners know if we don’t. Other than that, I had a perfect vacation! Thank you.

Perfect off season getaway
Gorgeous beachfront to enjoy. Pics of the interior are accurate. It’s easy and relaxed. Not like a super “fancy” inside, but perfect for lying on the couch and watching the lake or sunset. And walking right out the door straight to the beach every morning. Booked off season for better rates and less crowded beach and luckily the weather cooperated. Also took a day trip to the Holland tulip festival which was delightful. I can see why families return here year after year! (*note there was some digging happening with big diggers in the area leading down to the beach on Monday morning. Quiet otherwise. I had a sense it was to move more sand into that walk down to the beach before the summer season started, so probably not an issue for on season guests).
