I have reanted from strictly rentals twice and would not recommend that experience to anyone. I should learned my lesson after the first time.

Last year my family and a friends family rented a cottage on Wentworth Shores and it was infested with ants. We called the lady (I forgot her name) and she said don't worry about the ants, they will go away. She explained that it had rained just before we arrived and as soon as the ground dried they would leave the house. Well the first 2 nights we were there we literally had ants crawling on us all night in bed. Thank god they didn't bite.

I called her again the next day and she said she couldn't do anything about it because she was going to a birthday party and doesn't work on Sunday. She told me she didn't believe the ants were as bad as I described. My wife was extremely upset and collected a cup full of ants. Monday morning we went to her office to complain in person (and show her the ants) and she was very rude. We had to threaten her that if one of the kids were bitten (3 young children) and had an allergic reaction we were going to hold her responsible. She sent out an exterminator 2 days later when we had 2 days left for our vacation.

Since this post is getting so long I'll make the previous years experience short. We went to her office to check in and she told us she ran out of linens. I had to argue with her until she went down her stairs to put together linens for us.

Beware of strictly rentals.
