I’ll start with the good. Great location, close walk to beach, and love the pool. My kids especially loved the pool.
Unfortunately, this was one of my least favorite Airbnb experiences. I have stayed at many Airbnb’s.
Cons:
- Cleanliness
Home did not feel like it was professionally cleaned. The sinks were visibly dirty, the showers didn’t feel clean and the glass door had water marks all over, and the refrigerator was also not clean of dirty inside. And somebody left an open bottle of water with a used glass on the counter :-/
- Communication
The owner forgot to tell me the unit number which was a problem since she didn’t meet us there. She told me she would leave the key in the mailbox...come to find out there are a bunch of mailboxes!!! I had to look through all the mailboxes until I found the key. Make sure you ask for unit number.
- Instructions were not provided for the water heater. When we arrived it was off and my husband had to take a dead cold shower the night we arrived. Once I asked her the next day she told me where the water heater was located. This was very frustrating as the rest of us opted not to shower since water was insanely cold.
- Beds are not very comfortable
- Crib felt unstable. It appears the bottom board was missing making the bottom crib floor lumpy and uneven. Also appears a outdoor patio cushion was used as the bottom mattress.
- Towels are small and old. A bit raggedy. Also low towel supplies...not enough to take towels to the Pool unless you wash and dry them the same day. And all the towels are in the main bathroom....the other bathroom was missing towels all together.
- The kids beds are located upstairs in the loft with a very dangerous set of metal stairs. I would only recommend for teens. I felt unsafe climbing those stairs and we were unable to take luggage upstairs.
- WiFi can be purchased but it’s very pricey
- On check in we only received 1 key; she told me she didn’t have another key on hand so I wouldn’t get one. I had to insist we needed another set and luckily she was able to get another set shortly. Make sure you get more than 1 key...you need to use a key to leave the unit/community.
