8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
Okay, this place is all about location, location and thank goodness for that! For the price and the location we give it a 5 star rating. The pier in front of the cottage made for a wonderful place for coffee and cocktails. There is no central AC (window units) and when we arrived the window unit in the kitchen did not work. I contacted the host and within 2 hours we had a brand new unit, installed by a really nice guy! That was great service. The unit in the bedroom does need replacing as well.What we didn't expect was the serious need in the updating of furniture and mattresses. Yes, that is plural, the mattresses are decades old and we felt every year as we tried all three mattresses like Goldilocks in search of a comfortable nights rest. Which means my husband and I tried sleeping on the single beds too. My husband finally looked at the queen mattress label and saw it was 30 years old. In addition, the furniture, which looks adorable in the picture was terribly uncomfortable, there was even a large spring poking out of the bottom of the couch. Thank goodness for all the throw pillows on the couch, I needed them to create enough cushion to make it bearable to sit on.I did try to contact the host with the above concerns prior to writing this review, just to give them the benefit of the doubt in case they just really didn't realize the condition of things, but I never heard back so I have just gone ahead and written the review.

We love staying at Joy’s Beach Cottage. It’s a cozy little cottage for 2 people and the location is fantastic!

House was smaller than we anticipated but it was cozy and suited our needs for our trip. Shower was on the small side for taller people but we made it work. Once we figured out how all the fans worked, it was very pleasant. Scenery was beautiful and neighbors were very friendly.
6 / 10Average·May 2026
The property location is right on the waterfront. There is a pier that is shared with the next door property and it was too crowded to enjoy it the last few days. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, etc. The window unit air conditioner in the bedroom was very noisy. Overall, for 2 people, it was comfortable. Not sure 4 adults would be comfortable.
