We loved the location and the cabin was more suited for 2 instead of 3 or 4. It really had all of the amenities, but found a few that we’re missing or could have improved our stay, but they were very minor. We would come back and stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Since our last stay this rental has gone down hill. Do not stay here if you have a bad back as the mattress is way beyond it's comfort level. I spent the last 2 nights here sleeping in the car. My wife got up each morning was little sleep and a back ach. The oven is so dirty that you can't even heat something up without setting off the smoke alarm. The windows are hard to open and one window in the bedroom won't open. The light over the dining table only had one working light bulb. There was only a small trickle of hot water to the kitchen sink and that took for ever. WE heated the water for washing dishes in the kettle and used that. The parking are is over grown and it was hard to unload and load the car along with the steps and path to the cottage. I also think there may be black mold along the flooring at the kitchen sink.This place need much maintenance, and it is not a good valve for over $2,100.00 for a week.If there was anyway we could have got our money back after the first night of trying to sleep on that very, very, bad mattress we would have left.The only good thing this cottage has going for it right now is the front porch. The rental company should advise the future renters for the remainder of the summer about the sleeping conditions, it really ruined our vacation. I also bet this review will not show up on their website!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The covered porch was an ideal spot to watch lobster boats, fishing birds, and even porpoises or to read a book while listening to the waves breaking on the rocks. Set way off the road, the location was very quiet and dog friendly. The cabin itself was tiny, especially the bedroom, but the queen size bed pushed against the wall was comfortable. No dishwasher but gas stove and large fridge. Plug in space heater only so bring warm layers. Two maintenance issues: lots of poison ivy in bushes (leash dogs) and picture window needs replacing since condensation between the double glass obscures view. That said, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return. It would make an ideal writing/art/meditation retreat for one person.

We sat out every morning and evening listening to the water and watching the fisherman going out and in. It is a lovely location and the cabin is just right for two people. Thank you for a great week away.
