Roseneath Cottage - Steps to the Beach 3 bed/3 bath

The cottage was perfect. It had everything you could need in the kitchen. Had plenty of towels in bathrooms. It even had beach chairs and a few beach toys. I think there may have been a tv in every room... My kids quickly got them up and working while I spent my time on the porch. We visited in February and enjoyed the heated pool Friday and Saturday. The beach was lovely, very different than what we are use to on the Gulf. The boardwalk out to the beach was very well maintained and an easy walk, but longish (seemed normal for this island though). I loved that this rental management group supplied a few essentials for our short trip that many others companies do not, like 2 dish washer pods, a new sponge and dish soap for washing dishes, 2 clothes washing pods, paper towels, and quality toilet paper. I know those may seem silly but it so helpful!

Needs to probably have some wiring work done. One bathroom needs tile work and also in that one the water had trouble draining. One of the twin beds had a urine smell.

We really enjoyed our time there! Beautiful place and the house is cozy and comfortably.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice cottage at a great location but seems a little overpriced and needs some updates. Would be tight for 6 adults. Dryer has issues - clothes kept getting twisted around a metal piece and some were damaged. It also had a hideous squeak at random times. Some small additions would be helpful - a second bedside lamp in primary BR, ceiling fans in downstairs bedrooms, or at least some box fans, towel rings in bathrooms. Most of these were minor issues and did not prevent us from enjoying our stay; however, I don't think we would choose to stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented the house for 4 nights for a family trip for 5 people. It was very comfortable and nice that there are 3 showers available. It is a simple walk to the beach with a walk thru the pool area about half way there. There are restrooms at the pool for guests, so if you need that during your trip to the beach, you don't have to walk the whole way back to the house. It rained 2 of the days while we were there and the house was comfortable for all 5 of us to have our own spaces in the house if we wanted. Some chose to sit on the porch and watch the rain which was very nice. We had a wonderful stay and the house is in a nice area if you want to walk around the neighborhood for exercise. (I would recommend the manager have the area around the dryer vacuumed since the beach towels provided in the house produce a lot of lint.)

Due to the tropical storm we asked to move the stay (the night before we were suppose to leave) to 3 days later. This was no problem and took only 15 minutes to organize. Super friendly! We have been going here for the last 3 years, its always great!

Reviewer Comments: I want to make clear we have been very happy with Real Escapes for all of our vacation rentals in the past and continue to be very happy with them. We ended up staying at this property because we were accidentally double booked at the property we wanted and were told we would not be able to stay there. This particular property is incredibly disappointing. We have stayed in numerous cottages within the Coast Cottage community for the past 15-16 years and this particular cottage simply doesn't meet the standard for these homes. Part of the reason for this harsh review is because when I looked through past reviews going back 2 years some of the same observations are mentioned--so nothing is done based on reviews. 1) The TVs are tiny. The TV in the living room sits on the kitchen counter and cannot be seen unless you are sitting on that side of the living room.2) Something was spilled on the porch and splashed up against the house and the horribly simple makeshift table and was never cleaned up.3) One of the globes is broken in the master bath--mentioned over 2 years ago and never fixed. The commode is chipped and the bathroom rug is worn and stained.4) The master bed is tiny and the room is not furnished well. Mismatched and cheap looking furniture. We had to put a suitcase on the floor in the closet because there is zero room in that bedroom. It screams college dorm rather than upscale property. 5) Odd bathroom arrangement downstairs with a room with commode and sink and the next door down the hall being a shower--makes zero sense. 6) I guess the previous guests put shrimp shells in the garbage disposal and it smelled horrible the entire week.Coast Cottages are magnificent properties and well worth the money but this property was nowhere near worth almost $4000/week.

Super nice place, perfect for children and beach time.
