Great location and the property worked well for myself and my family of 5. Well equipped with a high chair, travel crib, and board games. After doing a load of laundry the first day we noticed the dryer didn't work. We informed the property management company, who offered us an hour later check-out (not sure how that remedied the situation, but we opted for it and hung our clothes on the dining room table chairs to dry). Other than that inconvenience, the property was fine. A word of caution for parents, the wall heater extends to the floor and gets hot, so we opted to keep our toddler away from it to avoid her getting burned.

Cozy Oaks was a clean and spacious place, with a large deck and swing set that my kids enjoyed. We stayed there for 5 nights. Upon our arrival, I noticed that there were no dish towels or dish rack (only paper towel), so it made it difficult to dry wet dishes. The hosts dropped off new dish towels the following morning, which was appreciated. However, we did have some issues:-the dryer did not work. I did ask for someone to come check it while we were there, but was told that it would be checked after our departure.-the bathtub does not have a stopper, so it was difficult to fill the tub. We ended up using the stopper from the kitchen sink, so that helped. The faucet in the tub does not work, so we had to use the handheld shower head to fill the tub. -there is no coffee maker, just a Keurig, and only a few pods were provided. This was not enough for our 5 mornings, and although we did bring our own coffee, there was no way to make it. The fillable pod did not work.-the bottom shelf of the dishwasher comes off the track-they provided a “starter kit” including two dishwasher pods. Thankfully a third was under the sink but this was not enough for our 5 nights. We appreciated that there were baby books and colouring pages, plus a few games. We also used the highchair provided. Overall, we had a comfortable stay but it would have been 5 stars without the issues mentioned.

At first, welcoming via text, however when we had an issue with the dryer not working after confirming with them that washer and dryer were in working condition. We washed our clothes and the dryer tumbled but never heated to dry our clothes. After messaging the host, an update was never sent. I sent another message in the evening to let them know I had wet clothes and a reply was sent at 11:30 pm to state an apology for the inconvenience and nothing can be done. Kitchen and laundry access is a huge component of renting a house for our trip. To not have laundry access was a true inconvenience especially to not have an update until 11:30pm and have to bag up wet clothes to take into our car for a 12 hr car ride was very upsetting.
