This location is ABSOLUTELY unbeatable, the house is stunning and the view is more than you can expect. It’s LITERALLY across from the beach and within 15 minutes of the Queen Mary.
However, Susan made the check in/check out process so insanely tedious I can’t not warn others about it. I booked this place two weeks in advance for my birthday, and on the day of check in I got a phone call from her telling me that in order to stay here I need to be 25. This should be stated before the air b n b was even approved and paid for, but she then told me that it was okay if I simply had a guest who was over 25, which was a huge hassle considering this was my 22 birthday and all of my friends are around the same age, so I had to invite my friend’s older brother which wasn’t really apart of the plans since this was supposed to be a gathering of really close friends I’ve known for 5+ years and haven’t seen in a while. After we figured this out, susan sent a 10 page contract she needed signed and sent to her before I could check in TWO HOURS before check in. I told her I didn’t have a printer so she said I could download an app to sign, not only did I have to download an app, I had to create an account, verify the account, and sign each page which was frankly a pain in the ass to do right in the middle of travel and trying to get to the location. I thought the worst was over, but when I got to the house, instead of simply telling me on the phone how to unlock her tricky master lock, she sent me to the air b n b directions to figure it out myself so it took fifteen minutes just to get the keys. THEN she instructed me to go to the back to park, so I drove around to the back just to be told it’s easier to access parking to the front, so I drove all the way around to the front, just to be told that I had to pull BACK AROUND to the back. Then, it took another fifteen minutes for her to describe how to access the parking facility. I am not the type to write such an insane review but the check in process was so insanely frustrating I just need to warn future guests.
The house was worth this headache so I definitely would still recommend to stay here, just be warned that check in and check out is so ridiculously frustrating, as you’re expected to clean and put away all of your dishes and throw away the trash before leaving while still being charged a cleaning fee.
