Cape Elizabeth Vacation Rental cottage

The cottage is located less than 100 feet from the water, but it's dominant view is of the back of a much larger house which is right on the water's edge. You'll become intimately familiar with the comings and goings of your neighbors. The photos do not disclose this serious deficiency. To say that this cottage has a kitchen is a stretch. Preparing anything more than toast is a challenge, and there is a minimum of dishes, utensils, and other kitchen items. The cottage is located on the road. When you are sleeping, your head is literally less than 20 feet from the cars driving by. The stockade fence help to cut down on some of the noise. The bathroom door did not fully close. While we were there the coffee maker stopped working. The owner replaced it with a 4 cup unit which used a different filter size than the broken unit, so we had no filters for it. It barely made enough coffee for two per pot. The bathtub faucet leaked. It was impossible to safely back out of the driveway, so I had to make a three point turn in the driveway, which would be a major untertaking with any vehicle larger than a Toyota Camry. The televisions are both very small and hung up near the ceiling, which made them difficult to watch. It was never clearly stated whether our front yard was also the backyard of the house we were staring at. Our neighbors walked their dog there and failed on several occasions to clean up after him. The cottage is very small, and we were unimpressed with the effort the owner took to provide a place where visitors would feel comfortable. Our stay here was a big disappoint.
