    Lana’s place is amazing. It’s a great location to relax, walk to the beach with your coffee and then open both doors and enjoy the sun talking to neighbors. I would buy that place.

    Very nice
    Stayed 4 nights, really liked it. Very clean, had everything we needed. A few negatives are, the bed is too small, needs a queen size, not a full and a better mattress. Heater (wall unit) makes way too much noise when temperature is reached and turns off, banging noise. Wanted to take a bath but unable to fill with just that shower head, spa in bath doesn’t work although looks inviting. Needs a better coffee maker, dated. Needs a bigger television, 50” would be perfect. Could put that 32” in bedroom. Even with those negatives we loved the place and would stay again and again. Easy fixings.

    Not all it’s meant to be for the price
    When we got to the cottage it seemed to be all that was promised. Cute seaside decor. Nice landscaping. Nice deck etc. We put our luggage away & unloaded our food & other items in the kitchen. after arriving that we realized there was an electrical problem in the living room. The TV didn’t work & an outlet next to the sofa also didn’t work. The light in the hallway didn’t work, but not sure whether that was a bad bulb or somehow related to other electrical issue. In reading previous review, we see that there was an electrical problem before and clearly had not been resolved. We reached out to the manager, & she immediately had her repair person come over. He confirmed an ongoing issue with the electrical in the house, and his only solution to us was to provide an extension cord for us to plug in the TV. this did solve the problem, but made it a dangerous situation to have the extension cord draped across the floor to plug it in the kitchen. He said that they would look into getting an electrician & get back to us, but we never heard anything more.The amenities on the listing say there is a spa, which there was at one time in the bathtub. That no longer functions and the bathtub is not usable - shower only. The manager told us that someone had broken the plug & she hasn’t been able to get that fixed. There’s nothing in the listing. There’s more we would share & feel we deserve a discount on the nearly $350 a day we paid. We are frequent travelers & rarely post negative.
