We felt the accuracy of the online listing somewhat lacking. We were looking for a cottage but this was more like a granny flat with very close proximity to the main house. As a result, we felt overall there was a lack of privacy one would expect in a cottage listing, including a dedicated parking area for the rental so we as guests don't feel like we are intruding on the owners parking area and walking on their property to get to ours. There was ample outdoor space, but we were interrupted with a day (Saturday) of owner's guests (adults and kids) going back and forth in front and behind the property to access an adjacent lot where there was a birthday party going on. Had the host mentioned this to us in advance, we probably would not have had concerns about it. Of course, we want everyone to have fun. But as it was, the owner only acknowledged/apologized for this after our stay. As for the amenities, the living room furniture was dated and uncomfortable; one patio door in particular needs attention as the screen door could not open/close easily; bbq had a rusty grill which needs replacing; and both patio umbrellas needed repair.
The location and proximity to the town of Westport was great. We enjoyed exploring the area, local shops, restaurants and hiking in Foley Conservation area. Unfortunately for us the weather wasn't great for swimming or paddle boating. But we enjoyed the evening fire pits.
