We were really looking forward to this trip but it wasn’t at all what we expected.
- ANTS: The host told us having ants inside is “normal”. They said they’d bring ant spray but never did so we had to purchase it ourselves and spent everyday cleaning to continually remove the ants. This was a HUGE problem.
- Barking dog: the neighbor has a dog that barks ALL NIGHT LONG. If you sleep in the front room you won’t be getting much sleep.
- Inaccurate photos: the images on the listing aren’t quite accurate. Furniture in living room is now outside (and filthy) and there’s only a small couch inside.
- No WiFi: My fault for assuming all Airbnb’s offered WiFi. It shows on the listing that it isn’t included but it should be (in my opinion).
- A/C: Not powerful enough to cool down the entire place. They are transparent on the listing that there is one AC unit but it hardly cools the place down. (Especially in August heat). We had to sleep with our bedroom doors open and were still uncomfortably hot throughout the night. They provide 2 floor fans that hardly work.
- Bathroom “window”: there’s a missing window in the bathroom, just has a screen. No wonder there are so many ants!
- Broken shower head: when we turned on the shower by the bedrooms the shower head shot water in our face because it was broken. Thankfully they repaired it the 2nd day we were there.
- Leaking shower: the bathroom by the kitchen has a shower that leaks all over the bathroom. The entire floor is wet after taking a shower.
- Close (ish) to beach: if you are going during high heat season it’s an uncomfortable walk in the heat to the beach.
- Too many keys: there is a gate with a separate key for every door. I would say there were at least 8 keys with no labeling to sort through every time you needed to get inside.
Overall our experience was not great. We spent our week long beach vacation dying of heat, sweating our butts off, feeling uncomfortable, constantly cleaning and not sleeping very well. Very disappointing trip - we couldn’t wait to leave!
