Algae
The property was fine. The outside stairs should be reinforced. A hose to wash the sand off your foot would be easy to install and useful to keep the house clean.Kitchen is tight, ceilings are low. This didn't bother us but might be a problem for someone else. Scott was very responsive and nice enough to let us check in early and checkout late (for a very reasonable fee to cover a different cleaning crew).Obviously we booked this lake front property because we wanted easy access to the water without having to pack up two small children and all the stuff required to take them to the beach. But unfortunately the shore and at least 10' of water was covered with algae. I tried to shovel it but it just came back. Wading through the algae meant it stuck to me when I got out. It also smells but that was the least of my concerns. In the welcome package the algae is mentioned and Scott called me ahead of time to give me a heads up. But it wasn't mentioned in the listing so I didn't think it would be a big deal. The cottage sits in a cove so the algae accumulates there. You can walk along the shore for about 10 minutes to a nice public beach. But we couldn't do it with kids. Driving meant finding parking which we did. We also biked but that limited us to what we could carry. Overall a disappointment because I didn't plan or want to have to deal with the logistics of loading and unloading everything. Otherwise we would have stayed somewhere nicer/cheaper off the water.
