Cozy cottage under the 100 year oak

I never SAW the host/hostess. She said key would be outside in a keybox by the front door. upon arrival, mailbox was poorly numbered to find the street address. Vrbo sent me a prior email saying key was on kitchen counter so NO key and front door locked. check-in was 4 pm. I waited until 430 and still no one showed up. i asked in previous emails for a contact phone number and was told we could talk by emails. Well, i dont carry my computer in vehicle. we walked around property and found back door unlocked. My daughter's bf unlocked front door and upon walk through, found property UNSAFE to stay in for children/adults. yes kitchen and living room were clean but what was found on inspection was totally UNSAT. ok, 100 yr old cottage, no problem to me, i'm a 71 yr old disabled vet but i wouldn't allow my pets to stay here. Emails stated that it was cleaned for our stay, WHERE ??? I had guests from indiana with me and expected more with child from Huntsville, Al. 1. the first large bedroom had been slept in, the bed covers were tossed like a wrestling match happened. 2. A partial tube of tooth paste was open on the only bathroom sink. 3. The hot water heater closet, (in the bathroom) door was opened by me, the floor was covered in what appeared to be black mold and the tank itself was rusted horribly around the bottom.4. The laundry room had 5-6 5gallon paint buckets in there not secured outside. An open container of either bleach or paint thinner was also on the floor with paint

Very comfortable, reminded me of staying at my grandma's. Cindy bed and pillows, AC was excellent, pool was very nice and host was very attentive.

Very helpful. Got the pool fixed so my kids could have fun swimming. Very friendly and helpful. Great communication.

This is honestly one of best homes I've ever stayed at it truly is cozy quiet and place to truly sit back

The stay was great the host was very easy to deal with and made sure the stay was as great as it could have been

The worst experience ever ever dirty cluttered, dirty dirty have a nasty attitude. Bugs bite you very professional just a lot went wrong.

The stay was superb , everything was nice and well organized felt really comfortable as if we were at home . Will definitely be booking again 10/10

It was a well designed little house. Well length of our original stay. We had to leave, but decorated. Unfortunately, due to my health issues, we were not able to stay the full length of our original

This trip felt like we were staying with family. Lovely, quiet neighborhood, but still close to the beach, shopping, restaurants, and casinos. The open layout includes a nice sunroom off the front bedroom, making for an ideal setup to get work done while the family relaxed. All in all, it was a pleasant stay.

Just like the name says. A nice little cozy cottage
