Summary: From the moment we arrived, we observed cockroaches (dead and alive). Over the next 48 hours, we killed at least two dozen cockroaches! They were seen crawling on the floor, in the shower, on the walls over the headboards, in our toiletry bag and one swimming in my cup of coffee. How it managed to find its way there I still don’t know. I’m on the border of dry heaving as I think about how I almost drank it. Our kids were terrified to walk around as cockroaches would scurry across the floor. The issue was brought up to the property manager, Emmett, who quickly dispatched someone to spray bug spray. This exacerbated the issue, as now we found more and more bugs coming out of the woodwork and slowly succumbing to death out on the open floor resulting in us cleaning up half dead cockroach carcasses. As we continued to look around for bugs, we discovered how truly disgustingly unkept this location is. Behind every dresser was a layer of dirt and dead bugs, the fans were covered with at least a few years worth of dust and the ceiling beams had what we believe was lizard feces dripping off the edges. I have pictures to prove all this. Had we looked into Lowest guest rating, we would have found this is an ongoing issue over the past 10 yrs! Owner tried to discredit a reviewer, saying the bugs were only house flys. We were willing to eat the cost of relocating but were unsuccessful in finding availability on short notice. This a “no refund” location.I would not recommend this cottage!
