House was pretty and was nice to have the beach so near. what would have made the stay better is to have the small yet important details taken care of - from having better cooking utensils (the pans need to be replaced and one of them was completely unusable as it was burnt!), to having mats for the bathroom so that the floors can be kept dry or even extra blankets during winter. While communication between host and myself was good in the early part of the trip, i was disappointed at the non-response when we highlighted a security issue (someone entered the home at 3am which was quite unsettling!) It turned out to be another guest who was meant to check in the next day at 2pm but was informed he could check in at 2am - clearly a typo in the notification to him (i also received a similar typo). It would have been good for host to circle back to say that they have managed the issue. While the description said that guests were given unique codes for entry into the home, this clearly wasn’t the case. Perhaps to make that clear when advertising the home.
