First, I would stay again & family members said they would stay again. Here are our thoughts on making the stay better: 1. Include in listing that one BR does not have a closet. 2. Update the furniture. The dresser in the BR without a closet had a drawer handle dangling and the wooden joints on that side of the drawer were pulled loose. The drawer was not useable and had to stay open in the foot traffic pattern. 3. Update the furniture. The Goodwill/SArmy furniture was a turnoff. Old, poorly working wooden drawers that swell in the rain are an aggravation. The glass outdoor table & chairs for dining are extremely uncomfortable and useless. Glass table has a large fracture on one corner. Remove the oversized rolling office chair wedged between the end of the table and wall. Two small loveseats are inadequate for seating and relaxing if more than 2 in the group. One member was 6 ft tall and had to sleep crossways in the bed. 4. Loose the fake flowers and nic nacs. Ex. Remove standing birdhouse in BR with no closet and add shelves/cubicles. 5. Check outlets and covers. Again, BR with no closer had a ahort in wall outlet causing lamp to flicker and making it a challenge to charge electronics. 6. Add tv channels available in primary BR tv to living area tv for a wider selection of channels. 7. Replace kitchen ware esp. frying pans. Teflon is gone on these just making food stick when trying to prepare a meal in the house. No containers for storage. Huge mix match of ‘things’ none.

Nice unpretentious beach house
Oceanfront cottage, which is great. Loved the porch facing the ocean and the outdoor shower. I was there with my adult daughter, and it was great for the two of us. However, the bathrooms were extremely small, and the living room was small as well. My husband is over 6 feet tall and if he had come with us, he would not have been able to lie down on either of the couches and he would've felt cramped in the bathrooms. The air conditioning failed so we had one evening where we were starting to get uncomfortable and then the next day cottage got to 83° before the repairman were able to get out to fix the air conditioner in the afternoon. Since we were only there for three nights, This was unfortunate. Overall, we liked the cottage. Just don't go there if you're looking for some thing fancy or if you have large or tall people in your party.
