Scott's place was not as advertised. Quick to accept us, Scott was MIA with all other communication- which presented problems. Check in is listed as 12pm. We had no instructions about how to get in. When we arrived at 3pm housekeepers were cleaning. Fortunately, my daughter speaks Spanish, otherwise we would have had no idea how to get a key, which we had to pick up from another hotel.
There was no internet, despite the fact that the listing says there is. Scott did not respond to emails asking for instructions or local tips.
When we arrived, the water was turned off due to leaks. Water was restored by night time but in the morning the kitchen floor was covered with water. We had to go a few miles down the road to notify the manager about the leak.
Scott's small beach was loaded with trash- which we cleaned up.
Scott's boast of walks on the beach with access to The Placencia Hotel is misleading. The hotel has security guards who discourage trespassers.
His claim that Placencia Village is 15 min away we found untrue due to speed limits and humps placed about every 200 yards.
The shower was a dribble. The master bed was comfortable but the twin beds extremely uncomfortable.
The kitchen was well equipped but we heard and saw nothing about breakfast being provided. The house "book" was uninspired with a few food flyers. The TV appeared to be disconnected.
The front porch had a table but no chairs for sitting. The airbnb picture didn't show the low lying areas filled with water by the front door/porch - looked like ideal breeding ground door/porch - Our trip was planned somewhat last minute - otherwise we would have stayed elsewhere
