Thank you so much for the kind words, Matthew! We are SO glad that you enjoyed your stay. Hope to have you again in the future.

I’m sorry to hear your stay fell short of expectations. To clarify: the hairdryer was in fact there and available in the upstairs bathroom when I checked immediately after your departure. I still issued the $50 refund right away as a courtesy for the inconvenience you experienced. The bathtub drains properly once the diverter lever is pushed all the way down into full “drain” mode. I’ve added a clear label and updated instructions to prevent any future confusion. Parking for the unit is clearly described in the welcome message and check-in instructions as “off the alley” behind the house, with a dedicated sign marking the exact spot (separate from the public parking in front). I also wish the shower questions had been sent through the VRBO app or text first, as your calls came through at 1 AM my time while I was on the East Coast. Thank you for the feedback. I’ve made the above improvements based on it to help future guests have a smoother stay. Torrey Host and owner of The Sunshine Cottage

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review! We really appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear you enjoyed the cottage’s comfort, spacious layout, and convenient central location. One of the benefits of being so close to downtown is easy access to shops and restaurants, though the tradeoff can be a bit more street noise than some guests expect. While no previous guests have mentioned this as a concern, we understand that sensitivity to noise can vary, and we’re happy the alley-side bedroom worked better for you. Regarding parking, we do outline in our welcome message that parking is located behind the house off the alley, with a sign marked “Unit A Parking.” That said, we want to ensure it’s crystal clear for all guests, so we’re reviewing our instructions to make them even easier to follow. We’ve also taken your suggestions to heart: additional kitchen items like a peeler have already been ordered, and we’ve added some games for future guests to enjoy. While games and toys weren’t listed in our amenities, we hope they’ll be a fun bonus for others. Thank you again for staying with us and for sharing your experience. We’re so glad you’d return, and we look forward to hosting you again!

Thanks so much for staying with us! It makes me happy to hear you all got to take full advantage of the neighborhood, being able to walk everywhere really is the best part of downtown. You were wonderful guests and we'd be glad to have you back anytime 🍻 - Torrey
