Upon arrival we immediately noticed how dirty the kitchen was. The fridge had spilled food remains inside on all of the shelves and in the drawers. Additionally, several of the dishes were also dirty and the pots and pans were dirty as well. They were in bad condition as well. This is not acceptable at any time. Let alone during COVID. I spent quite some time wiping things down and running the dishwasher, wiping down dirty kitchen tables and counters etc. The oven is missing two knobs. After reaching out to the host, I was told it still functions and that knobs were on order. I believe there is an older review stating the knobs were missing a long time ago. I think he doesn’t plan to actually fix them.
Additionally, there are many bugs in the house. I can live with that but not a dirty kitchen. And at the price per night, I would expect that issue to be taken care of. Worse than the bugs are the huge rats that Rome the property at night as we attempted to eat dinner outside. Again, something that should be addressed.
This place has a lot of potential but there are some major flaws that need to be taken care of. Especially at $1000/night! The best feature was that it was walking distance to a nice beach. Just 5 minutes away.
