This place was as described. Great location, very clean, convenient amenities and a great place to clear your head and get some fresh air near the ocean coast.
My experience here was wonderful until the weekend which unfortunately is why I am communicating my unsatisfactory experience with this place. This airbnb is connected to two other units (I was unaware of this). So the walls are shared which means if you are looking for peace and quiet, you may struggle on the weekends as I experienced.
There is a pamphlet describing things to check out in the neighborhood, how to use some of the appliances and other instructions to help guide your AIRBNB experience. And printed front and center is a 10pm is QUIET TIME! Understanding my right to peace and quiet, i was particularly shocked when the unit attached to mine was throwing a very LOUD and I presume large gathering. That first day of the weekend (Friday), the guests didn’t turn off their music or lower the level of the gathering until 12:30am.
I communicated with the host my frustration and was immediately told those guests were leaving the next day and a very kind apology for the disturbance. I communicated that I have early call times and I would really appreciate the guidelines of the 10pm shared “quiet time” was to be respected not just by myself but by the fellow guests in the airbnb right next to me. I deeply respect the guidelines of quiet time not just for my neighboring airbnb’ers, but also the surrounding neighbors on the block.
Much to my immense disappointment, the following night (Saturday) and my final night during my 6 day “stay,” a new set of guests checked into the next door unit and in fact, blared their music until 4AM!!!!
Being that it was my final morning in this airbnb (checkout is at 11am), I had intentions of waking up at 6am for an early morning walk, breakfast and meditation.
Unfortunately my body would require more than TWO hours of sleep and the relaxing morning I looked forward to having was jolted into speed mode because I had overslept (8am wake up) to make sure I can do the things necessary for a prompt 11am check out.
My frustration was not with the airbnb itself but rather the lack of understanding that on the weekends this airbnb turns into more of a party location and if I had known in advance, I would have booked elsewhere. I guess my advice is to be very aware of the loud weekends and if you are a light sleeper like myself...it is best to have this knowledge ahead of time like I wish I had prior to this booking.
