Our rental experience with Doug was excellent overall. We had a few issues and some confusion on our part, but Doug was extremely responsive, patient, and helpful both by phone and Airbnb, which set our minds at ease and made a potentially stressful and frustrating stay a largely positive one. His instructions for check-in, amenities, and procedures were exhaustive and much appreciated!
We were not very excited about our stay at Ocean Beach, but that is not a problem of Doug's, nor the listing, and so it does not color our rating. However, Ocean Beach and the surrounding area is not a place we'd want to take a family vacation in the future, and I'd advise families (especially with small or school age children) to evaluate a different area.
Noise level at the Lodge was quite loud, and the thin walls and closely packed units did not help. Much late night drinking and partying occurred around us, but it was only problematic once - and Doug was swift to address when we were worried. We already anticipated that we might have to deal with night noise, but note the quiet period of 10pm-8am, and be confident that Doug will enforce!
