8/10
Pros:o Great and safe location. Short and easy walk to the beach. Quiet back streets to Flagler Ave, The Garlic and Norwood restaurants.o Well stocked unit. The small refrigerator and freezer definitely come in handy.o Many streaming choices on the television, if desiredCons:o Low water pressure in the showero Minor, and hard to call this a con, but the ceiling is angled at the wall interfaces. This can be an issue for forgetful or taller people (head bump potential). Anyone taller than 5'10" cannot stand straight up at the toilet. o Easily fixed - there were no instructions in the unit. Our only issue because of this was the email we received from VRBO had incorrect WiFi information, which was quickly rectified with a text to the owner.Why the title of this review? This unit is above a 2 car, unventilated garage. Heat rises. Additionally, there is one large wall facing east (summer sun beating on it). The means of cooling is a single window air conditioner that the owner has subsequently assured me adequately cools the space. Unfortunately, we did not experience this. Apparently the a/c unit sometimes requires a defrost period to work to its designed capacity. We felt cool air from the unit, so assumed it was doing the best it could (typically frozen evaporator coils prevent cool air flow entirely). Bottom line - stay at "The Cottage", but make sure the owner confirms the a/c is operating properly just prior to your arrival, especially in summer.
