We were very disappointed in the condition of the cottage obviously the pics were very dated. One fan did not work fan in the bathroom did not work the AC unit in the bedroom was dirty looked like mold in the openings the side covers very dirty. Paid extra to check in early and the place was dirty floors and rugs dirty. After a couple of days we planned on cooking very expensive seafood and the stove did not work we could not get any assistance when I called the answering service it was not an emergency and someone would respond. I asked for a call back and till this day no one called. The management co is horrible did not care all the cared about was offering me a few more days at 25% off rates to fill days. The backyard was trashed broken fence old furniture and wood piles under a shed and a rusted grill. The AC unit on the outside of the bedroom was all rusted out. If not for the view our trip would have been a bust. Also a sign I side that states owner and mgmt nor responsible.
