I originally ran into Corbin's rental through a different site. It was advertised at a lower price. I contacted Corbin and asked him if he would honor the price. He refused to do so. I read the reviews and all the amenities that he offered, plus I didn't have much time to look around. So I decided to pay the price he was asking (bait and switch.)

We were scheduled to check-in at 3 p.m.. I received a call around 11 a.m. from Corbin letting me know that the prior renters checked out early. Thus, I could check-in at 2 p.m.. We had planned to be there after 3 p.m. and let Corbin know. We finally arrived a little after 4 p.m.. Corbin gave us a tour which included that the dishwasher was still full of dishes and that he would come down later to put them away. Since we were very tired from our travel, we let him know we would put them away. That evening when we were taking showers, we discovered that the bottom of the shower door had quite a bit of mildew. I didn't want to make a big deal about it, so I didn't say anything. After all, the place was pretty cute. It had a great welcome tray, breakfast foods and coffee, plenty of towels, awesome bath robes, a really nice tv, and wifi.

We had to move the bed because it is against the wall which makes it difficult to get out of bed when you're pinned in. We discovered not dust bunnies, but dust nests. It looked like the bottom of the bed had not been swept in months. My wife cleaned that up as well. We went to bed around 9 p.m.. As exhausted as we were, we could still hear his son running back and forth. Eventually, we went to sleep.

In the morning the thumping of little feet running around woke us up. While we prepared breakfast, we noticed the toaster oven was slightly dirty and that it has been well used. Not what I would expect from a five star environment. Again, we were already there. It wasn't that big of a deal. After all in a few minutes we were going to the beach on the bikes that were available for us to use. That didn't turn out so well. After a couple of blocks, we realized the pressure on the tires was low. My wife kept complaining that something was wrong with her bike. I thought it was just the low pressure. Unfortunately, the crankshaft was loose and the pedal was bent. I emailed Corbin who later told me he was aware of the bent pedal and thought that maybe he should have checked the bikes to make sure they were in working order prior to having the guests' use them.

What really set me off is that we paid a cleaning fee. I'm guessing all the guests have been paying it. I though it was to clean the mess we may leave, not to have the priviledge of cleaning the place. j/k

The place is a really cute basement with what appears to be high-end Ikea cabinets and appliances.

I also want to mention that the entrance is the bathroom which doubles as the hallway. It leads to a narrow stairway into the bedroom.
