Pros:
- Spacious 2 bed house with great location and great views
- Good water pressure good and hot water
- Good Wifi
- Good access to the beach with a good coffee van down the road
Cons:
- Towels plentiful but hard and crusty.
- The bathroom was disappointing. The toilet seat plastic was yellow and very flimsy. There was no shelf or storage space as the under sink cupboard was filled with half used cleaning products and toiletries. The shower unit was flimsy and dirty and the extractor fan above the shower was dirty.
- The kitchen was nicely decorated however the drawers and cupboards were generally overstocked (e.g 3 pairs of kitchen scissors, 8 pairs of tongs etc) which therefore had accumulated dirt. We needed to separate out essential crockery and utensils and run them through the dishwasher, and clean the drawers and cupboards. There was also alot of expired food that we sorted through and got rid of. There were dirty dishcloths left to use.
- The three heaters provided were not adequate to warm the space. We borrowed extra heaters from family who live nearby. The duvets were thin for the time of year and the pillows were also thin and no extra pillows were provided. We also borrowed extra duvets off family.
- TV channels very limited and no way to play own media through the TV as it was old so could not take a USB or connect to WiFi.
- The house had several lightbulbs out while we were there, bedside furniture was chipped and the bedside lamps were dirty and shabby in the kids room.
Check in was brief. We had to ask to get any information on where the wifi / area information was. Although check in was accommodating to our arrival time it would have been more efficient to have a key pick up from a lock box as we have experienced from previous AirBnb’s and information provided in an easily located place in the accommodation.
Overall, the property was almost adequate but not what we would expect from previous experiences with AirBnb super hosts. The general feeling is that the place hasn’t been properly maintained for a while between lettings and therefore the cleanliness and equipment stocks have deteriorated. There were no luxury touches you would expect from a super host property.
