So many things wrong here. We booked 3 months in advance, and when we booked there was nothing in the rules stating that the property was not pet-friendly. However 2 days after arrival the hosts messaged us telling us we should leave or board our dogs. Since we were on vacation we weren't checking our email, so we didn't notice until the caretaker told us to check our email. As soon as we were made aware that there was an issue we directly followed up with Airbnb. After working with Airbnb for days to resolve the issue (which still isn't fully resolved at the time of me writing this), a Resolutions Ambassador confirmed for me that the listing had been changed on May 30th, over 3 months after I had booked the property, on March 4th.
When we arrived the arrival instructions were completely wrong. They state that the property is the first house on the left, when in fact it's like the 3rd or 4th house on the left. When we finally found out which house it was supposed to be we had to enter the property and begin walking up the stairs before the even caretaker noticed us. When he finally noticed us he popped out of the bushes to introduce himself and the property's dogs. I immediately notified him of my pets. He smiled and said something along the lines of 'oh, they (my dogs and the property's dogs) can meet in the morning.' If this property was really never pet-friendly like the hosts state, then the caretaker should have made us aware immediately. Moreover, the property's pool rules mention pets, as if the property IS pet-friendly. We continued unloading our things and went inside for the night since it was late because we had such trouble finding the property.
The next day we woke up and realized there are no cleaning supplies or mop, so we ask for them, but we never received them before being kicked out. We never found the safe that was in the listing either. Also while trying to sit on the porch to enjoy my coffee, dump trucks kept passing by to dump rocks on the beach. They have the whole property torn up in messy construction zones, and construction workers were everywhere. It was very uncomfortable to try to sunbathe with all those strange men around. A part of the dock was also falling down. It's a real eyesore.
Additionally, the property is really closer to Seine Bight than Placencia, so I wouldn't really recommend trying to walk to Placencia from there. Lastly, the house is really far from the water, with another cottage between you and the water. Doesn't feel very 'waterfront' to me. Beaches closer to the end of the peninsula are definitely way prettier than Azura Beach. Hands down the worst travel experience I've ever had in my 10+ years as a travel agent. Hosts are even trying to blame me for damages that were there prior to my arrival. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Anda Di Hows Hostel is a much better place to stay in Placencia, even if it is a backpacker's hostel!
