I want to start by saying that the house was beautiful - there were many lovely things about it.
However, when you rent a house at this price point, you expect a seamless experience.
When we arrived, the fridge was broken and the trash hadn’t been emptied. We called and someone came to fix the fridge. We took the trash out ourselves.
Our first night, after a busy day in Byron, we discovered that the tv and sound system had no power. One half of the house was power-less. Wanting privacy (rather than having someone visit the home every day) we decided not to call again.
The second day, the hot water tank to the luxurious bath and outdoor had completely gone out and we weren’t able to enjoy these amenities.
When I told the host afterwards, they responded with, “you should have told us and we would have come out to fix it, etc, etc…” but who really wants to have to call the Airbnb landlord to fix something new every single day of their vacation?? It was our wedding weekend… we just wanted privacy and for things to work properly.
There are a lot of lovely things about this house, but with the issues mentioned, would would have had to have paid $500/night or less (rather than the almost $900/night we paid) to feel like we got the value for our money.
Hopefully these things are addressed for future holiday-goers.
