Nice place except for beam hovering over the bed and no window in the kitchen. Very loud and rude guests in the parking area from the adjacent rooms in the property. Manager did

Private, Cozy Cottage in Great Location
The title pretty sums it up. It is a great property and we had a fun time and enjoyed our stay. Only negatives were that the bed is not very comfortable, and also the sound proofing is not very good so unless you have a fan on or something you'll be able to hear traffic and trains throughout the night.

Cabin under the tree
I liked being in the privacy of the cabin. I could hear the freeway and train, so would want to be there for too long. Ok for a couple of days
They said washer dryer available in the welcome book but then wouldn’t let me use it. I communicated and they only responded with a generic ai response such as “we cannot help you this is our policy” then I wanted Kate checkout after they sent an email and they said “not available. This is our policy” so I was frustrated. The place had masses of dust et the furniture and mold in kitchen cabinets. Otherwise would be a sweet place to stay again if there was more functional housekeeping and management.

Cottage
Cottage is cute and cozy but needs help. Sheets and duvet are very rough material. It does not get dark at night because lights shine in. Needs darkening curtains. Cookware is old. Needs a big pot for cooking pasta. There is no privacy for bath area. Owners should install a curtain.

Great location, a bit dated
The property was in a great location, very close to the beach and a local supermarket. The apartment was comfortable with all the amenities needed. There was a lot of wear and tear in places and the kitchen had limited equipment which seemed quite dated. We enjoyed our stay here.

Cleanliness left much to be desired
The floors were dirty and the sheets were dirty, we had to have housekeeping come and mop the floor and change the bedding which made it much better. But the biggest issue was the kitchen sink and countertop. The countertop is literally peeling off around the sink and is brown and rotting inside, it is absolutely disgusting. This property should NOT be rented out until that countertop is replaced and the kitchen sink area is sanitary. That was appalling.
