    "REMODELED" ??? - well it isn't the same as when built in 1920 ... so okay - but upgraded? NO. I echo the review by Barbara Z. in Jan 2016 - seems in 4 years the property has remained unattended to since her review. There is no AC (and it got a bit hot indoors) and though they provide box fans (that need cleaning), there are no screens on the windows except in the back bedroom. The heater filter was extremely filthy. Blinds had broken slats & some curtain rods were bent. The wicker "coffee table" was filthy. Under the kitchen sink was major water damage. A toilet seat lid is missing. The master bathroom sink dripped. The toilet paper holder fell off the wall (I put it back on). The BBQ grill was filthy, so we didn't bother - also it is next to the dryer vent so lint is all over it. The only functioning smoke alarm (1 out of 3) was in the back bedroom. [There IS a functioning Carbon Monoxide Detector!] The TVs are out dated; an older Magnavox and a 13" TV/VCR combo. (Notice they don't show you them in any pictures?) Why do they list the amenity of a telephone and FREE local phone calls? There are no telephones in the house - not that we needed them, just showing a pattern here. We found a spider IN THE MASTER BED, and dead flies and spiders on the floor. The washer & dryer are shared - cottage C has a washer & dryer, but it was out of order. So people will be coming in and out doing laundry on your porch. *FAIR WARNING* if you have a low profile vehicle the roads to get there may damage your car. Calle Cita and Russell Way are private roads (streets) and are in desperate need of repaving, or at the very least they could fill in the deep potholes. The worst is actually the one you must take to get to the parking spot, the road is so uneven, deeply pitted with potholes, and the significant incline into the parking spot is proceeded by what is best described as a crater. It is my humble opinion the heavily adjective laden description of the exterior of the cottage, although mostly accurate, is in an attempt to make up for the failings of the interior, where you will not be met with the same impression given by what you read and experience before walking in. My wife and I were forced to sleep in the twin beds in the back bedroom like Ozzie and Harriet because it had window screens and the only functioning smoke alarm ... we booked for 6 nights and left after three. …
