We communicated with our property manager and sent multiple photos regarding our concerns- we also didn’t want our kids to be concerned at all because- Vacation and kids don’t always understand why things are not as they should be, nor should they need to be concerned about adult issues.The big bag of opened liquor in one of the bedroom closets was A big concern for us and i am debating filing a larger complaint with the Vacasa affiliates & State of Massachusetts and or Town of Eastham - for 3 Reasons - 1. My husband and I are in recovery (not an easy road)2. Our teens could have come across the opened alcoholic beverages before we did and what if they were curious enough to try?!? - kids are curious 3. Tells us that the closet, in addition to other areas of the rental, were not fully inspected, cleaned/tidied, prepped for the new, incoming Renters.I believe we received an automatic 30 credit? but really, as I stated to the property manager - we shouldn’t have to spend a couple hours of our vacation time, cleaning, sweeping, picking up, dealing with and hiding items from curious teens…*we cleaned in order to justify the Expensive nature of the rental costs/fees our AND having to be opened to the triggers of available and opened ALCOHOL, whilst we are both in recovery!!!We need to decide what we are going to do about everything- it has been on our minds and we want the right thing(s) to be done so that another family or persons do not experience the same stressors

Cozy retreat in a great location. House could use a deep cleaning and some updating, but is perfect for a short stay for a small family. The only negatives are the lack of storage space in the home for clothes and belongings. There are dressers in each room, but they are old and small. We had to use the living room adjacent to the kitchen to keep our suitcases and basically used that room as a storage space. The front room has a ton of windows for a lot of natural sunlight, but the one AC unit is in the middle living room, which I feel is where the TV should be. It was not too hot during our stay and the AC worked well even cooling the front room. The Shower is on the smaller size as well as the toilet. The first night the smoke alarm went off twice for no reason, but Vacasa was very responsive and helpful. There were some ants and spiders, but not out of the ordinary for a cottage in the woods. I wish we could have been outside more as the outdoor space is amazing, however, the bugs were just horrible making it almost impossible to walk into the house let alone spend any time outside. Kitchen was perfect and has all the supplies needed. No washer/dryer or dishwasher, but not an issue. Beds were super comfortable and the towels and extra sheets were amazing as both were included in our stay. Not bad for the price especially being in a quite neighborhood and a great location.

We were very happy with this cottage and the set up was particularly helpful if you have smaller children - you could sit in the TV room and not disturb children sleeping in the bedroom. The deck is lovely and large and the outdoor shower is spacious and heavenly! The one negative - terrible mosquitoes (not the house’s fault, it is a more wooded area) - made it difficult to even load / unload the car without getting eaten alive.

Great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cozy Woodland Cottage! It was the perfect size for our family of 3, and the AC unit did a great job keeping the living room and kitchen area cool during a particularly hot stretch. The bed in the main bedroom was a bit firm for our taste, but that was a small detail in an otherwise lovely stay. My husband said it reminded him of the cottage he used to stay at as a kid on the Cape, so it definitely had a charming, nostalgic feel!

Cottage in the woods

Decent location. Ok place to rest your head at night. House is definitely in need of some TLC. Plenty of space inside, small kitchen, all utensils were nice to have. Bedding was nice to have too. Ashtrays full of used matches all over the back deck, front door sits two inches above ground allowing anything small with legs to come on in. Sticky notes everywhere telling what the switches were for (not aesthetically pleasing). Cost was good, value mediocre. Vacasa was good with communications.
