Little Blue Cottage on Spanish

The “cottage” was definitely not as advertised. It was rated well, which is very deceiving. It was dirty, dilapidated and the shower was something out of a horror movie. Mold had taken over. Expedia and VRBO should take a good hard look at how they vet their listed properties. But that was the good part. Approximately 11 pm, there was a knock at the front door. There were 3 gangbangers standing there expecting us to let them in. I yelled “occupied” out the door, they mumbled something and left. Within 2 minutes, around the corner from the house, was a long string of automatic gunfire. We hit the deck and dialed 911. Immediate police response, but this is NOT an acceptable situation. These men were familiar with the property, and the door lock is a pushbutton code. No idea if they knew that code or not. We immediately vacated and got a hotel room for the rest of our stay. We are demanding a refund as there is simply no way this property should be listed as a vacation rental.

Has everything you need. Comfy and in a great location.

I would definitely stay here again!

The house is very nice. I was expecting and hoping to cook. There is no stove and no cooking utensils, so that was disappointing. There is one pan that plugs in and I made it work, but it would have been good to know beforehand. There are some other pans but you can't use them. I might suggest a hot plate. Other than that, very nice.

The property is wonderful. A great getaway for a couple. Very noisy at night. Not so clean.

The cleanest of the cottage. Comfortable and quiet. The car drug on the driveway so a leveling might help. Hope to stay again sometime. Reasonable cost.

It was dirty, very noisy, put together very sloppy/looks unfinished, ants in bathroom & not in a good neighborhood.

Great location for walking around downtown and checking out the murals along the River. House is small but enough space for two. The two room air conditioners controls were not working properly making it hard to adjust temperature. Toilet paper was absent but host was prompt in bringing some.

Lovely little house close to downtown. We enjoy antique shopping and local food so this location helps keep us close.

The property was in an ideal location. Short walk to downtown. My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Little Blue Cottage.

I am the kind of person who would rather help someone with their small business than hurt them with an unfavorable review. I texted Matt and asked if he would call me so we could chat about his rental; I have now waited a week and he apparently is not interested in my thoughts. So, I guess I’ll post them to keep others from being disappointed. This is a cute Little Blue Cottage, but I arrived at around 6:00 PM and it was totally dark-no porch light was left on, and house was unlit…not very welcoming. Then I noticed the few steps and the walkway was covered in icy snow. Traversing in slick ice in the dark carrying luggage is not desirable, let alone safe. It was in the 20’s outside-and felt like it inside also. Turning on the heat for an upcoming guest is pretty normal. It was frigid and it took quite a while before I could take off my coat. I put my steak leftovers in the fridge for the next evening only to find out that it was barely cool; I was afraid to eat the rest of my 30 dinner. The two TV’s were left on-perhaps because there was no main controller to turn them off-therefore shinning in my face all night-as well as to adjust the extremely loud volume. There was only a small apps controller. Well…I am out of character space and can’t finish telling you all the fixable things that went wrong-but I can tell you the worst…the shower was disgusting…it needs to be replaced. Consequently I took sink baths during my stay.

Poor host experience due to us renting this cottage almost 3 weeks in advance, than was told last minute that we were being bumped to a property that isnt listed thru vrbo due to the weather. When in all actuality the host had somebody else staying in the blue cottage. The loft apartment that we were moved to was cold and dirty.

Great cute place.

Check-in and out was easy. Owners were communicative and accessible. Cute house has great potential but needs some updates so it looks and feels cleaner. Fridge wasn’t cooling but owners were notified.

The amenities were in pretty strange conditions. Not non functional. Just strange. Fairly priced. I would stay again

Cozy and perfect for a couple. Great communication with the host

Some issues with check-in. Very nice area. Lot of history.

Perfect location, close enough to walk to food and drink, and exactly one block off the main cruising route so I could watch and not be on the route. The fridge could be colder, and there's no oven, and the A/C is loud. But that was stuff I knew. The place was clean, and easy to find. The little front porch is a great place to unwind.

We enjoy every time we stay here . We have stayed her many times. There is some repairs that need to be done . Also I think there needs to be a better way to cook besides a microwave.

It was dirty and lack of maintenance Bedding had hair and dirt on them the bathroom wasso gross the toilet is not secured to floor shower tile and pan was full of mold and sewer just flowed straight into the front yard by the fron porch sitting area

Very easy process and a great location for a convenient stay downtown

We were never sent our check in information and the owner never responded to us.

Small and a bit crowded with furniture in bedroom. Newly painted. An older home given a freshening up. Definitely not handicap accessible. Front steps in poor condition. Trash can in kitchen full of trash. Hostess did not respond to any comments af

We stay here every time we come to the area from Tennessee, it's small and cozy, perfect for you and your significant other, host is very nice and communicative. It's located within walking distance of downtown Cape shops, highly recommend this home

We Enjoyed the Stay
