Camping Cottage
We spent three nights at Pauls Cottage. As a local host for vacation homes on Cape Cod. I pay attention to the details.The home had a three night minimum.The fee for the host was as much as the nightly rate. There for we expected the service to match the rate. Check in for the cottage was 4:00. We had a 4 1/2 hour drive and knew we would be coming in late. However, we did not hear from our host on how to enter the cottage. It wasn't until I made a few attempts to reach her and after 6:00 that we were given the instructions.
The Cottage was clean with limited items. But, more then what you would get in a campsite. There is no stove or oven. You have a toaster oven and a portable burner to work with.We chose our meals with the gas grill in mind.
When we went to use the grill there was no propane. I messaged Monica for a back up. It took her 45 minutes to respond and she wasn't sure if there was a back up.
Thankfully the general store was still open and I could purchase a propane tank. Hoping to boil some lobster one evening. But no lobster pot available. There was major plumbing issue. The shower that was a bit challenging to use. Had no option to store personal items and did not drain.Plan on standing in your dirty water.
We also had issues with the toilet and became hesitant to put anything in it.We attempted to use the plunger. But, it was broken and useless. I think with some easy updates including a new mattress, some fresh linens. The Cottage would be great!
