The view is amazing. Steep steps to the dock and water access. House is spacious. Home is a bit dated but overall maintained. The oven didnât work during our stay and the sloppy floors were a bit difficult for our handicapped family member. Overall we had a nice family vacation. The view makes up for little inconveniences.
This place is very spacious and nicely decorated - both the building and grounds. The approximately 25' wide private beach is a mixture of stones and shells, surrounded by shrubs, and needs shoes on one's feet as suggested. You descend to it by stairs and cannot see it from the grounds if you were supervising children, The changing moods of the sky and water were fascinating, and the sunsets awesome. Nature had deposited numerous spider webs everywhere, (July 2025) so not pleasant for the squeamish. There were plenty of entertainment supplies for a rainy day. Also, many fluffy towels, and a good shower. Hot water was plentiful. We had minimal contact with the host who lives the other side of a thick hedge. What we had was friendly and helpful, especially about our changing rota of people staying overnight. Neither the washing machine or oven worked during our seven-night stay, Personally, I would have required the cleaner to be more thorough, especially in the kitchen. We would stay again.
The grass needed cutting, especially since the grounds are very uneven.The exterior of the cottage had shed flies and spiderwebs. The barbecue was the same and it was not cleaned inside so we couldnât use it. The interior was. When I rent a place, I shouldnât have to clean up the property or the appliances before I can use them that shouldâve all been done! What was missing in the ad was the fact that itâs called a beachfront cottage but they neglected to take a picture of the beach and the fact that thereâs something like 35 stairs you have to take to get to the beach so when none of us could go there either. Two of us canât do the stairs I told the owner in advance that I was having somebody with me that is bedridden they canât walk on their own so how would they go down to the beach. Very very disappointing! And thereâs no beach at all itâs a dock so thereâs no sandy beach to sit on or whatever. The whole point in renting this place was mainly for the beach and barbecue and the fire pit was also not cleaned out so we didnât use it either. We mostly just stayed inside the cottage. It was too much money to rent a cottage and we couldnât use everything that was on the website. I spoke to both Andrea and her husband Bob and I told him that I expected compensation for these reasons. The cottage itself is all uneven. I almost fell a couple of times because the floor is so uneven. There needs to be a lot of work done to that place. I have yet to receive any compensation!
Celebrating Christmas with relatives in Beaverton and needed our own space for the weekend! Owners were incredibly accommodating and responsive. Such a great little cottage in the perfect location. Highly recommend!
An incredibly view with the clearest water. The yard was open and very spacious. Property was well stocked. There were a ton of little fruit flies especially in the bathroom and master bedroom, which was a little off putting.
But overall we had a good time. And that view was spectacular.
