If you want a clean place, a parking spot and host who will take accountability if you have issues with the place then look elsewhere. Otherwise, you may have found your spot. Pros: close to beach, cute decor, some beach accessories, and host was quick to respond to multiple issues. Cons: Not clean, no parking (even though it says compact), and a lack of accountability by host for the issues we had. I understand- life happens - but it is the fact that the host was unwilling to take accountability for the poor experience we had and the additional expenses we incurred as result. The host felt one hour late check out and $100 was appropriate for this… you be judge:
Major issues: 1. we couldn’t use the kitchen one or the two days we stayed (which is why we booked an air bnb in the first place). Otherwise we would have stayed at Tower23. While they fixed the sink within 5 hours of check-in, we couldn’t use it during the times we needed it (it’s small- no cooking around two plumbers). So we ate out (spent more than $100). 2. The bedding had dead ants, stains and dirt. The host told me where to find some but I had to search an organized closet and had no luck. (I am embarrassed to say, but I was so tired by time I discovered we just slept on top of a clean blanket I found which I laid over the dirty sheets). 3. Upon check in, after walking ten minutes in house our feet were black. If I am paying $120 cleaning fee, I expect to have clean bedding and floors).
Minor issues: 1. Wake up Saturday morning to make coffee and the Kurieg doesn’t work- didn’t feel like dealing with it so we got coffee out. 2. Upon check-in power was out. Fixed immediately. 3. Go to open windows upon check in and extreme dust on shutters (not a little - a lot). 4. While they snaked the kitchen sink a foul odor spread thru the small place. Try being 7 months pregnant and getting ready for bed to the smell of sewage (it was my daughters bedtime so couldn’t be out).
Again life happens…it’s no ones fault. But if it was my place I was renting out and someone paid me for a clean place, a kitchen, a working coffee maker, etc. and didn’t receive half of what they paid for then I would compensate accordingly.
