The cottage was ok, minimalistic but fine. The staircase to the water is broke in two and in desperate need of repair. The top concrete part is hanging partially freely, unsupported in the air and could break off any moment. I am sure it must not be legal to rent the place out as it is. There is no railing down there but a thin rope. Plus nobody told us about the situation even after knowing that we arrive with 2 children. And the broken staircase to the water in disrepair is clearly very dangerous.

There were 2 broken chairs on the patio which we could not use but just ignored them and made due, but I should have taken a picture beforehand since after the stay I get a message from the owner on my phone:

"What the heck happened to my chairs out on the deck. Both are ripped. It had to take a great deal of force to rip those chairs. Please explain."

Which I thought was very rude. A simple and respectful: I noticed two chairs are ripped, did that happen to you? or something like that would have been enough.

Furthermore there was no service from the rental party through VRBO. I did not get any questions answered, did not even know the address and how to get into the house. Luckily I found the phone number of the owner who could tell us where to go and how to get in.

The price includes also a hefty cleaning fee and damage deposit (which took 10 days to be refunded back). So with service fee and taxes you end up paying way way more than advertised.

Also be aware of the owner on the left side of the property facing the ocean. She is clearly annoyed by the renters and will approach you to find out as soon as you arrive to ask you when you are leaving and tell you to make sure you stay off her property.

The place was ok for us but the lack of service and unfriendliness unfortunately ruined a big part of the stay for us.
