This house was a perfect getaway. It is rather small;however it is the PERFECT size for a couple or even 3, possibly four people. The house is well-kept and the view is perfect! I stayed in the fall and the house was cozy and comfortable. I plan on renting it again possibly next summer and next fall.

My sister & I stayed for 2 nights mid September. Despite many communications with the owner, I never did figure out that we were completely on our own. The door was unlocked. We didn't figure out where the door key was till day 2. There were instructions posted on the refrigerator to put the rental payment in the mail box at the house across the street. The worst part was the condition of the cottage. It was extremely musty smelling. The dehumidifier had stopped running because it was full. Linens were included, however, they needed to be washed & dried before we could use any of it. it is a good thing that I brought laundry soap. And the written instructions on the refrigerator stated that all linens needed to be washed & dried upon departure. Seriously? I would have brought my own. We had to get up 2 hours early to wash bedding before getting to the airport. I am so glad that we did not check in at night, as we spent 2 hours airing the place and washing bedding. The chairs on the deck in the beautiful photo? Nope-broken. I finally found 2 rusty folding chairs. There were a couple light bulbs out, including the outside stairs & doorway. We used the light from our phones to navigate the unfamiliar entryway. I was lead to believe from communication with the owner that departure cleaning was included. The instructions on the refrigerator indicated that we were to leave the cottage as we found it (I did want my deposit returned), so we spent extra time cleaning the floors, bath & kitchen, etc...This was not a carefree vacation rental and I do NOT recommend it.
