I was so disappointed in my stay! There were ants everywhere around the front door, in the kitchen, and downstairs in the actual bed! When I brought this up to the owners of the place I got a response of “ Sorry about the ants that’s a bummer” and nothing else. Unfortunately that was not our only issue on our trip, every time we would use a certain plug the electricity would blow and you would have to go outside to flip a breaker. Also for half of our trip we had no electricity at all in the downstairs bathroom.
Don’t get me wrong, this is a beautiful property and has a chance to be an immaculate stay but there is so much that needs to be fixed first before someone else should pay the amount of money I did and have such a bad experience.
Beware of the pictures as the backyard was not usable for our dog as it is just a dust bowl. (I understand that California is in a drought and there are water restrictions but the pictures need to be updated to reflect this) We could not let him out to play in the backyard because he would get entirely too dirty to come back inside if we did.
Finally after we had checked out with having problems literally every day of our five day stay, I got an Airbnb message from the host telling me to leave them a five star review. Which my answer to them was NO, because you did not even come close to a five star experience! It’s a potential 5 star property but I had a one star experience!
It’s really sad to leave this type of review for such a beautiful house. There is such potential here but the hosts need to deliver on what’s advertised or readjust the customers expectation for their stay. Because for me to stay was not worth the ant infestation I had after I left the property (the ants got in mine & my wife’s suitcases… ewwww)
