Starfish Cottage
The location is perfect, views are amazing! The house was well stocked with everything we needed but was very, very dirty. Dog hair, sand, dust on the floors, the top of the refrigerator was filthy, the living room furniture had sand all over it. We spent the first few hours there cleaning the place.
