Beds

Island Life Cottages offers guests a rustic escape, but its bedding situation has received mixed feedback. While some visitors found the beds to be reasonably comfortable, maintaining a balance between ease and firmness, this wasn't a universal experience. Several guests noted the beds and mattresses as old and uncomfortable, with some specifically describing them as rock hard or even akin to sleeping on plywood. Issues such as noisy springs and beds that appear to be falling apart have also been highlighted, detracting from the overall comfort. Some reviewers pointed out that the sofa beds were notably uncomfortable, even causing backaches. This array of feedback suggests that updates to the bedding could enhance the overall guest experience at the cottages. The sentiment across reviews points to a need for improvement in this aspect to match the natural beauty and charm of the location.

Some of the cottages seem to show signs of age, with descriptions of wear and tear that go beyond cleaning, including stains and the presence of pests. Criticisms were also directed at specific elements, such as unclean bathrooms, stained countertops, and broken fixtures.

Overall, while the property itself is described as nice, improvements in maintenance and attention to detail are needed. For travelers seeking a short stay, the cottages provide basic comforts, but extended visits might call for heightened expectations regarding the condition and cleanliness of the accommodations.
