I write this review from my most objective standpoint. Its too easy to get wrapped up in the ego of who is right and who is wrong.
When i saw the pictures of this place i was sold, it looked like the perfect place to have a private and intimate week with my family. Those are key words here, i am a very private person by nature. I am therefore starting to get increasingly disturbed by some Airbnb polices on knowing every single detail about my trip. This is my first mistake, had i known that this particular property had had numerous bad experiences with previous guest completely taking advantage of the situation i would have sympathized with them and truly understood their need to protect their property. As it was there was no way i could have know this so i went ahead with my plans thinking it would be ok, after all it would be only my family staying with the maximum 10 people, plus my siblings who couldn't stay, visiting for a few hours at dinner time. With a place so large and the price we were paying i didn't think we were outrageously breaking the rules. But then 2 days before our trip i see that there is only a 4 car parking rule, for 10 people. they do have additional parking if you asked ahead. With the rush of preparation and still thinking there was only going to be 4 cars parked there continuously i still didn't think it would be a problem. Again all this is my mistake for assuming, please if you decided to stay here don't make the same mistake, your trip will go a lot smoother. Needless to say the situation felt like it quickly spiraled out of control. From the multiple cameras surveying the property they were quick to respond. With us getting multiple messages that threatened to evict us (no refunds) and the were sending someone from the management team. To Cease and desist and standby. Overall It felt very aggressive. We were rehearsing for a wedding renewal ceremony, But it was not going to be a party just a ceremony with the family and a few props. At other Airbnb locations if we move around some furniture and set up some decorations for a birthday or something it was never a big deal. But at this location maybe because it is a desired wedding venue what we did was a big no no. Again another something i should have cleared with them. Lucky for us when they did send someone it was Alice. Here i would like to send a Huge thank you to Alice. With her understanding and ability to talk to me one on one as a person, we were able to sort everything out. She turned what could have been a disaster into an overall great trip. All gratitude to her.
