Glad to hear that you and your group enjoyed our beach home and your visit to Cortes Island.

Thank you for your candid feedback. Yes, our home is rustic and is advertised as rustic in our HomeAway listing. Regarding pricing, I periodically compare my pricing to other accommodations on the island, none of which are exactly the same, and feel that the pricing is fair. Part of what you are paying for is the fantastic view, the beachfront location, the private hot tub, spacious home and deck, and the time of year. The tourist season on Cortes Island is short and August is the highest demand month. May, June and September are great times to visit Cortes Island and I am happy to extend discounted pricing these times of year. I have reviewed your other concerns with my house cleaner. The sheets you thought were flannel on the beds are actually a stretchy jersey cotton, not flannel, and appropriate for summer use. We have plenty of towels of all sizes and some of them are mismatched; I believe that a clean bath towel was available for each guest. But the towels may be getting a little worn and we are bringing up a new supply in September. Also, there shouldn't be personal items in the bedroom chests of drawers so I have asked my house cleaner to check more frequently that prior guests haven't left personal items behind. Extra blankets are stored in some of the dresser drawers and I have asked my house cleaner to move these to the trunks & cedar storage chests, freeing up all the dresser drawers for guests. Regarding cleaning, note that this is a rustic A-Frame home and is challenging to clean because there is not a square corner in the place & cobwebs do collect quickly in this house on the edge of the forest. Still your comment about cobwebs has prompted me to purchase a telescoping duster to make it easier to clear away cobwebs. Note that all the rental income from this property goes right back into maintenance & improvements so your feedback is valuable to me as I prioritize what to improve next. This year's major improvement was a new septic system. I hope you were able to enjoy the natural beauty of Cortes Island even though you found the accommodations not perfectly suited to your needs. Again, your feedback is most appreciated. Best, Sue
