I wish I could give half stars on this platform - this home would get 4.5.
Our family truly enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Cove home. It's an older house typical of the area, at the end of a super quiet street, and equipped with all the essential linens, kitchen basics, etc. Everything was clean and we felt secure in the area. The yard is large, extremely well maintained, and the backyard is completely fenced and gorgeous. I was going to rate this home as 5-stars except for 2 things. Both are easily remedied and I have no doubt this wonderful host will take quick action: We were disappointed that the forks were toddler sized. Pedro quickly dropped off a slightly larger, satisfactory set. The replacements were still smaller than a typical salad fork, but not a big deal since we only ate breakfasts in the home. Our son's friend stayed in the rear bedroom. He said the mattress sagged quite a bit in the middle, but he didn't tell us until after we checked out! He's not large at 6' & 180lbs, so maybe replace the box spring or add a cross bar to the frame? I'm confident the host would have done something to fix that if we would have known earlier. The master bed was far too firm for our tastes. We're both side sleepers and woke up in pain every morning, to the point that I pulled back the sheets to check the brand. It's a nice Tempurpedic mattress, which is probably great for back sleepers. Or maybe it's brand new - they take a bit to soften, I'm told. Our son (an almost 6'4" 300 lbs football player) said the bed in the front bedroom was fine. Both bathrooms were perfect! The kitchen layout is nice and all of the appliances worked very well! Having a nice washer/dryer was a plus to wash our beach towels (bring your own, though - the ones the host provides are nice bath towels not for the beach!). I also had a chance to test the wifi while working remotely for a couple of the days during our visit. It held up wonderfully for my VPN tunnel to the office network while the family was also streaming from our Amazon Prime video account to watch movies and had all their other gadgets connected to it. I work with a lot of rather large files and this has been a problem at other rentals, but not here! Overall we were very happy with the our stay. The home is extremely comfortable to live in, everything is freshly painted (or seems so) and clean, and the host was very nice. We all agreed that we would stay here again.
