BE WARNED
The home was clean, in a great position and well equipped for large groups of people. Prior to booking we asked Kate if it were possible to have visitors which she responded yes and we paid almost $2,000 for our stay in full.
We arrived as a group of three 23-year-old women, as I entered the home Kate’s first words were “I didn’t know you were so young” she proceeded to tour the home but was incredibly hostile and aggressive, speaking down to me about the house rules threatening inspections and eviction. She was adamant we were throwing a party even though we were a group of 6 with 2 guests dressed in beach attire.
I was intimidated and belittled by Kate and was hesitant and nervous to answer her questions, Kate took this as an opportunity to question my character.
After 25 minutes my group walked down to the house to see what was happening and Kate became inconsolably angry and aggressive saying she was uncomfortable allowing our group to be in the home.
As my partner tried to intervene her interrogation and diffuse the situation she put her hand in his face and demanded we all leave. She also demanded we cancel our booking so she would receive full payment. At this point we tried to politely reason with her however she became more hostile refusing to answer our questions and began swearing at us.
We were stranded on the side of the road 5 hours away from our home and contacted Airbnb who were quick in finding us alternate accommodation however, Kate got in her vehicle and began swearing and yelling at our group and threatening to call the police.
I would recommend not to book this property, and agree with the previous review, Kate was aggressive and too keen to refuse our stay. I have never experienced such an unprofessional and disrespectful host in any of my stays with Airbnb, all because of Kate’s predisposition to younger guests.
( also note Kate asks that you do not use the washing machine or dishwasher provided and that you clean the spa twice per day )
