First & foremost, I want to start by saying that this place is beautiful and the positive reviews is what initially lured me into booking, but there were a few issues that occurred.
To start, I was laying down watching tv around 11 pm and hear someone approach the door. As they approached the door, they moved the knob (as if they were trying to come in) and walked away as soon as they heard me get up. Once I get up to try and see who it was, they were gone but out of curiosity, I check to see if the sliding door (leading to the porch) was locked— it wasn’t! I instantly lock it and of course my mind starts wondering if anyone was inside the place while I was gone throughout the day, or if anyone was going to come in while I was sleeping (if I didn’t check the sliding door and it was left unlocked). However, I didn’t let this incident alter my decision to stay the night and didn’t alert the host.
Next morning comes around and around 11am, the cleaning lady comes to knock on the door to see if I’ve checked out yet. However, she didn’t need to come just yet cause not only is checkout at noon; there is a button you push next to the front door to alert the cleaning lady to come once you leave.
Approximately 30 minutes pass by (still isn’t check out time), and the same lady keys the code into the door and walks into the place WHILE I AM NAKED, preparing to take a quick shower prior to leaving. She did not knock at all and again, CHECK OUT WAS AT NOON! I instantly start yelling cause this is the THIRD TIME in less than 24 hours that someone has come to the door for NO REASON. I immediately alert the host of the situation and he instantly replies, urging to call him on the phone. I call him on the phone once I’m out the shower and after speaking about the situation, there was no resolution. He didn’t offer any form of refund or anything for the consistent inconvenience; only tried to reassure me that if I ever chose to stay there again, these incidences wouldn’t happen.
On that note, though this is a nice place... to the point I wanted to stay an additional night; after the consistent issues, I will not be staying at this location due to the lack of safety, hospitality, and communication.
