The view from the deck is undoubtedly great, however that is where the pleasantries of this stay ended. I am usually very happy with the time I spend at the airbnbs and leave great reviews! This is the first long and negative one, but this place really warranted it. Here is a list of things that were not working/as advertised:
Sink also would take about 30 minutes ( not exaggerating to drain)
Hair dryer was dead
Towels were moldy (new ones that we got were as well)
Wine glasses, utensils were filthy and unwashed from the previous renters
Accidentally took a peek under the bed and it had a myriad of crap underneath of it (someone else flip flips, bottle caps, wrappers etc.)
Pool looked like it hasn’t been cleaned in months (granted it was high 60s but still we were thinking of maybe taking a dip)
We were unable to use the fire pit that is advertised in the pictures (we were told it is due to the fires that happened, and I understand that part, however reading older reviews I noticed that there were multiple occasions before where people said that fire pit was not allowed to be used in the past).
Broken glass from the vase on the deck table (where we wanted to have breakfast but didnt risk it.
Now I know by now you probably thing think, oh its one of those airbnbers that you can never make happy and always complains, I am not. I have gotten nothing but positive reviews in my 10+ years of traveling with airbnb and 99% of the time get along with hosts VERY well.
What surprised me the most is the effort the host made to make things right as I understand unexpected things happen and its ok! But the lack of action on hosts part was appalling, he did try the plunger on the sink a couple of times and then said its the weekend I can try calling the plumber on monday but it was saturday morning and we were checking out monday. For the rest of the issues he said I AM VERY SORRY BUT WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO. Excuses such as the maid didnt clean this and maid didnt check that… I dont think its that hard to walk into a room and see that dishes are dirty, underneath of the bed is filthy, towels are smelly/moist and that sink does not drain.
If it was some hole in the wall motel for $50 a night i would understand but when you pay $150 a night you would expect something better than this. One of the VERY few bad experiences I ever had with airbnb
