This home was beautiful, clean and had a great view. Check in and check out were super easy. The only thing that overshadowed the stay was that I accidentally booked my checkout a day earlier than what I needed. I did not realize this until I received a voicemail from Chris notifying me that I was supposed to be out by noon that day. I was deeply embarrassed and apologized profusely, but the voicemail I received from Chris was rude and inappropriate given the situation. He had every right to be angry (I know I would have been if I were the host) but his voicemail accused my mom and I of smoking in the home (which we hadn't...or even anywhere on the property) as well as a threat to throw all our belongings away if we were not back by 6 pm. I felt this was a little extreme when our suitcases were in the home, open, obviously not packed, so the first thought for me as a host was that there would have been some sort of mistake or miscommunication NOT to leave a nasty email threatening us. Again, I realize I was the one that made the mistake, but in any case I still expect to be treated with respect from any host.
I would recommend Chris' place to others but with the caution that if you have any problems or issues, you may receive sub par service from this host. I also do want to add that I returned Chris' phone call within 30 minutes and I had booked another night and had the issue resolved within a few hours...no harm really done.
