Beach Community Cottage - 3bdrm/2bath

The property was clean and met our expectations. There were a couple of concerns however. We were able to unlock the door with no problem, but had difficulty locking it when going out to dinner. We also did not know how to adjust the temp. in the apt. Finally we were not able to use the television in the living room area. It continued to message us, "not connected to the Internet". Written instructions would have been helpful for us old people. We thank you for your hospitality, and God bless you. Will & Kathy Braniff

Our host Amy was responsive to a few concerns that came up. The house was beautifully clean and spacious for group and accurately portrayed. The outside view is obstructed from seeing beach when grilling. However, the park very close by called Rye Beach is wonderful and shady and has a wonderful entry to small cove beach and fishing pier, liked! Swimming better at Nicole Plate Beach —a few min drive and excellent family beach. Recommend. Would recommend this property with simple understanding that you will have ample comfortable space but no direct beach view. We enjoyed our time for sure,

The outside was dirty, unkept, and scary upon our first approach. The front door was filthy, scratched, and dented. The deck and patio areas were dirty, unmaintained, filled with debris, and not comfortable enough to enjoy (for THE PRICE WE PAID). I was so scared at first, that I had booked a nightmare VRBO, until we went inside, and realized the inside was decent enough. This whole situation explains why there were never pictures of the outside of the establishment online. I am assuming it was pricey because it's "lakeside?" It claims there's a nice 2-minute walking path from the house to the shore, but really, you have to walk through people's properties and backyards, to get anywhere close - making it very awkward. The owner was kind and mostly responsive, yet she claimed she sent me the check in information, when she never did. I had to request it. All in all, because the inside was acceptable, we had a good stay. I had just imagined something totally different for a "beach front" property, at the price it was.

Your home is beautiful I appreciate you sharing it with us

Very nice and clean cottage close to cedar point and the beach. Close to food and stores. Please note there are several stairs to get in the property. It is upstairs and has a nice deck which we enjoyed, but it isn't on the lake. Would definitely stay again. Very nice rental and owner
