Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca Mar 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication My stay at the cozy cottage was absolutely delightful. The location couldn't have been better - just a short walk from the beach, which made morning strolls and sunset views incredibly convenient. The cottage itself was impeccably clean and well-maintained, providing a cozy atmosphere that truly felt like a home away from home. One of the standout features for me was the pet-friendly aspect. Being able to bring my fur baby along made the trip even more enjoyable. The cottage had all the necessary amenities for both humans and pets, including a comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen, and a fenced yard for my fur baby to roam around safely. Overall, I can't recommend this cozy cottage enough for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat close to the beach, especially if you're traveling with pets. I'll definitely be returning for another relaxing getaway in the future. ##### Rebecca Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ewa C. Jan 30, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The worst experience EVER The experience we had was out of this world. Never before had we seen a holiday unit that filthy. Upon opening the door (that was stuck and it took us at least 5min to unlock it) the musky smell of mould just hit us. As soon as we entered, we then noticed everything was absolutely disgusting. The fridge was mouldy and dirty, all cutlery, plates and glasses very dirty and stained, floor was not mopped, spiders and cobwebs EVERYWHERE. But the winner was in the bathroom. The shower screen was covered in soap scum and even better, the bathroom floor had urine stains by the toilet that had NOT been cleaned and mopped from previous guests. We have been denied a refund by the host and we had to report them to STAYZ. Still waiting to be reimbursed ##### Ewa C. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### David R. Jan 23, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness #### Could be our worst stay- Look elsewhere! The property was a disappointment and did not meet our expectations for the price.It was doubtful the house had been cleaned prior to our arrival. The overall cleanliness was subpar—dishes and shelves were coated with grease and scum, and there were stains throughout. The sofa was in poor condition (best not to look under the cover). The kitchen was inadequately equipped, with limited utensils, cutlery, and dishware, while the appliances, including a rusted washing machine, appeared outdated and worn.The house and grounds were overall tired and unkempt. Cleaning supplies like mops were left out, the grass was overgrown, and beach towels were drying on the line, leaving us uncertain if they had been washed. Adding to the discomfort, dogs in the main house barked persistently throughout our stay, with the noise carrying through the wall and fence, disrupting the atmosphere.For the nightly rate charged, we expected better—a clean, welcoming property with basic comforts and home essentials. Unfortunately, this property fell short on multiple levels.On a positive note, the location is convenient, with shops nearby and the beach within a 10-15 minute walk. However, I cannot recommend staying here unless significant improvements are made.We will be lodging a formal complaint with Stayz, supported by photo evidence, to ensure these issues are addressed. ##### David R.
