We were disappointed in this property and would not return. The back door does not lock and has a staircase that leads wide open to the public. This is a HUGE safety issue. They offered to send someone to look at the lock but after seeing multiple reviews of others mentioning the SAME broken exterior lock we declined as this is an ongoing issue that hasn’t been resolved for over 9 months so this did not give us confidence it would be resolved while we were there. (See reviews from June 2022 & Sept 2021 mentioning the same broken exterior lock) We took our valuables with us each time we left as anyone can walk into the unit at any time. When we slept we found a way to tie the handles of the door together with a cord for some security. You cannot do this when you leave as you can easily get locked out of the front door which the owner mentioned this why they always leave the back door permanently unlocked so if someone gets locked out of the front door they can still get in the back door. Sounds like the front lock and back lock both need to be replaced. The property was not cleaned very well. (Dirty towel left hanging in the bathroom amongst other things). Blinds are broken and several that are ripped and wont close at all. The screens on a couple windows are busted wide open. The house is pretty beat up and in need of multiple minor and major repairs. Dishwasher missing the whole upper drawer. No soap in the bathrooms or kitchen to wash your hands. We found some dawn dish soap under the kitchen sink so we had to use dawn dish soap to wash our hands in the bathroom and in the kitchen all weekend. It does not come with all of the basic things the listing states.
Bring your own blanket. Bedsides the comforter on the bed there is 1 spare comforter (that was so stained —- I’m talking yellow stains, brown stains and even a couple blood stains) we couldn’t bare to use it.
There were no instructions on how to use the golf cart or which key started it. Several of the golf cart seats are ripped. The golf cart windows were so dirty we couldn’t see out of them. We immediately took the golf cart to the gas station so we could clean the front window to be able to drive it safely and speaking of safety the seatbelts are all broken. We couldn’t find one working seatbelt.
10/10 Amazing views. We will be back to Catalina however we will be finding a different Airbnb.
