Close to the beach, the state park, and the towns of Long Beach/Ilwaco. Good natural lighting and air flow with all the windows and the screened front door. Excellent hot water in sink and bathroom. Well equipped kitchen with lots of pans and utensils and dishes and full sized fridge. Good sized bedrooms with queen beds and good layout. Plenty of towels and bed linens. Vacuum and laundry equipment worked fine.That was the good. Now the not so great - totally musty smell indoors because the carpet is 15+ years old, matted down, and no longer tight to the floor. Suggest high grade laminate flooring throughout the cottage - easy to clean. The subflooring needs work in kitchen for sure. New countertops would be good - current ones are stained, absorb water, and slope toward floor. The range/oven needs to be leveled. An in-sink-erator (garbage disposal) would be nice, but not crucial. The nonstick fry pans need replacement soon. Bathroom needs to be fully tiled and mildew resistant paint used on walls, ceiling, window trim. Back bedroom mattress was hard as a rock, pillows no better. Front bedroom mattress dips to the middle. Sofa beds were about what one expects - good enough for little kids, but worn springs. We didn't try tv or fireplace. Needs porch or patio. Needs nice plantings of rhodhies or other bushes to screen the road. Fine in June when we were out most of the day, would not stay there during rainy season until makeover happens - especially the flooring.
