I was very dissatisfied with my stay at this beach house and would not recommend or stay here again. This house is not up to standard for a holiday let. I saw previous reviews and am disappointed to say that none of the feedback or items have been fixed yet.
We were a group of 6 adults all wanting our own space, it says 5 bedrooms, however, it should definitely be changed to 4 bedrooms on the main page, as the 5th bedroom was not a bedroom. It was very small, cold room with a tiny bed and no heater. It was an extension of the house with very old walls with insects and spiders. None of us wanted to sleep in there. Some of the beds were very uncomfortable which made it hard for 6 adults.
We ran out of toilet paper in one day as we were only supplied 2 rolls and no tissues. There was no nice little touches that air bnbs usually supply.
The bathroom did not have enough racks to hang up towels, the heater did not work and it was very cold. There was no exhaust fan in the bathroom so it gets filled with thick mist after every shower. The second bathroom was a bit pointless it wasn't an en-suite or in a good location so no one really used it. It was also so small you could barely turn around in there. There was a nice spa in the bathroom, we tried to use it and to our surprise it also did not work.
This is not a good share house and would only suit a small family as long as they are intending to eat take-away only. In the kitchen, only 3 stove top burners worked and they cooked extremely slowly. The oven door did not close so we attempted to wedge a chair under the handle to close the door. Only to realise the oven did not work, only the grill did. That was a fail of a dinner.
When we arrived we found dirty dishes in the draws and cutlery with dried food all over it which was disgusting! The dishwasher did not work well which probably explains the dirty kitchenware.
Overall, the house was a weird layout, the kitchen wasn't functional with lots of missing utensils to cook a meal effectively, dishwasher didn't have instructions and did not work well. My friends and I like to cook and this was definitely not a kitchen where anyone could cook a meal effectively. If you are planning on going out for dinner every night maybe it would have been okay but we like cooking. We did not appreciate having to clean all the utensils before using them. It just made for a very frustrating experience.
The house really needs a deep clean and good fix up. On top of all this we had uninvited guests come to the door about 3/4 times which were clearly appointments, made by the owner, lucky we are not paranoid people as things had been moved around when we were out! We probably wouldn't have minded if we were informed or asked? But no one told us to expect anyone else and it was uncomfortable for us when we didn't know what to say and were asked questions about the house. Very unprofessional. At 9pm on the last night, someone came to fix the front gate, and started drilled. It was getting late and we were getting up early to have a day trip so we definitely weren't expecting that.
All the cupboards and draws had junk in them it felt like you were living in someone's well lived home and clutter, which you want to get away from when you're on holiday! It was bizarre. There was a nice fire place but no dry wood or kindling to start the fire. Our friend spent about 1.5hrs trying to light it and still didn't get it going.
We were all very disappointed and we are not the sort of people to complain. Definitely the worst air bnb we've stayed in and we've done a lot of traveling. While there, we checked some of the past reviews and found that other travelers had complained about the same issues and nothing has been resolved. For example, someone reviewed months ago that the oven did not work. You cannot rent a house out and not supply basic cooking amenities, especially if you advertise it as such. The owner really needs to read the reviews and action them.
Some of these things wouldn't have particularly bothered us, however, it was the combination of all of it that really ended up getting to us all, especially for $324 per night! The price is way too high for what it is and it should be advertised differently. Not good for groups.
Bottom line, if I was an owner of an air BnB I could not, in good conscience, rent out a house like this at that price. Nothing worked and it was very dirty. The location was really beautiful but unfortunately that did not cancel out all of the things wrong.
