4/10
It is a beautiful home and had all the space we wanted. However be aware that the windows are not operable so you cannot open them. The AC worked fine, but we missed the fresh air.
Our biggest issue is that we were mislead by the ad. When it said "cottage available to rent for extra sleeping space" we did not realize it meant it was a totally separate property that would be rented if we didn't rent it. It was an uncomfortable surprise for both parties. We were each led to believe the entire property including the dock and patio area were ours to use. It was not clear at all that those were to be shared areas.
We paid more than we've ever paid to rent a home, and thought we were getting a secluded place all to ourselves. If we wanted a resort-like experience where we were sharing space with strangers we would have chosen that. The other renters were nice people, but the principle of the matter left us feeling disappointed. We will not be back.
Our advice is that you rewrite your ad so it is very clear to future renters that unless you pay the extra money to rent out the cottage it is not a private experience. And for the 1 bedroom cottage ad it should say that it will not be a private experience because the big house will be rented by another party.
