May 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Kemp and Olive cottage The cottage was clean and very nice for two people. Enough room to relax and stay a while. However, the weather was perfect for open windows and such. Only one front window and the bathroom window has a screen. The front door was lacking a screen door even though it's advertised in the listing and even describes the ocean air coming in through the front door as the screen shuts behind you. The little courtyard between the cottages was nice have but the string lights in the picture of the courtyard were absent. The outside shower didn't work. When doing laundry the dryer took literally all day to dry clothes. I found the outside vent behind the cottage/laundry room was choked with lint. I pulled the wildlife guard off and removed a ton of lint myself. The t.v. seemed to be on the fritz and when I reached out to Amy the only response I got back was a thank you for reaching out to me reply. Never offered to come by and see what the problem was. Other than that, being by the beach was great. The public access was less than a minute away.. ##### Andy J.
