Quaint Coastal Cottage with Patio!

Reviews

• Uncomfortable and unkempt

  1/5

  The location of this property is great, I'll give it that. However i was fooled by some of the newer 5 star reviews. My experience was much more like the old reviews.

  We stay in cottages quite a bit. I know they don't offer all the comforts of home and can be dusty. This was downright neglected.

  -half of the windows didn't open. Since the small free standing AC wasnt working great it made it hard to get any circulating air.

  -dust and grime on many surfaces...the blinds, the fans, trash can, coffee pot, grill filled with water and grease.

  -the bathroom was gross. It smelled from the septic and is constantly damp. We kept the door closed and tried not to use it. The septic ran all night in the hallway closet and kept us up.

  -the furniture is hard and uncomfortable. Sitting in a wooden chair all weekend isnt relaxing.

  I could go on...we ultimately left a day early as my throat was sore and my asthmatic husband needed to use his nebulizer.

  So disappointed.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Kristy, thanks for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent stay. After reading your comments, the homeowner wanted to share the following:
  -"We deeply regret that your stay did not meet your expectations. We take great pride in our 5-star reviews and are committed to ensuring every guest has a great experience.
  -A limited number of front windows have been rendered non-operational due to their orientation facing the road, as the influx of beach sand was leading to dust accumulation indoors.
  -It's important to note that our listing does not mention the availability of air conditioning. However, every room is equipped with a ceiling fan, and additional fans are provided. We added a free-standing air conditioning unit to enhance comfort in the main living room, especially on exceptionally hot days, although most guests seem to enjoy the refreshing sea breeze.
  -The cottage undergoes professional cleaning each week, and we perform regular checks, ensuring sundries are provided in the bathroom, along with paper goods, fresh linens, towels, and beach towels. An exhaust fan is installed in the bathroom to mitigate shower steam and odors.
  -In compliance with strict oceanfront town regulations on septic systems, our system was inspected this year and met all fourteen criteria. We have a reverse water filter system that operates for about an hour at night once a week, as detailed on a schedule in the kitchen.
  -The newly added teak wooden chairs and settee each come with cushions, and additional pillows are provided in the room to enhance your comfort.
  -We are dedicated to making every guest's vacation enjoyable and wish you had reached out to us with any concerns upon your arrival or during your stay, allowing us to address them immediately and potentially enhance your satisfaction before your departure.
  Once again, we sincerely appreciate your feedback, and we are committed to ensuring that our guests have the best possible experience."

• Lovely cottage

  5/5

  This cottage was perfect for two friends in need of a little getaway! It was a peaceful spot, but still close to everything. The bedrooms were comfortable and the house had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again!

• Exceeded expectations

  5/5

  The cottage was on a quiet street that was situated steps from the breach way and minutes to the salt pond. Great for the kids to fish and explore. The sunsets were incredible.

  The cottage boasted many personalized touches. Unexpected kitchen essentials were available. Clean and bright. Rooms were spaced without feeling crowded. Deck was large and the outdoor shower was private with hot water. Able to hear the sound of the water while sleeping with windows open.

  Owners are responsive and professional. Welcoming from our arrival and helpful when we left a cell phone behind.

  Super close to East Beach and Blue Shutters.

  Would definitely return. Vacation went as planned.
