This had a great view thats all . The cottage was runned down . Bedrooms were so small maybe for kids not adults . Tables were grimy . Sliding doors were almost non functional. The bathroom was disgusting would not even try to have a shower there . The tv did not work . No towels . I hqve have staying at many vrbo places and this was the worst . I guess if your not going to stay in the cottage and just sleep there it might be ok but I would advise anyone to not rent this out
Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2026
