Never have I felt so unsettled arriving at a pre planed destination. We dropped off our luggage in the afternoon. The code needed to open the room was difficult to find but a grounds person let us know it was in the very first email we received after booking months ago. Luckily I was able to locate that email and clicking deep er into that email found the room code. The unsettling part occurred when we returned to the room after a nice evening out and the gate code didn’t work. We called the host and he tried to help us get into gate and the the code on the gate to get to the front entrance didn’t work either. He said we’d have to walk around the block. It was close to 10pm so I asked if still could not get in after 10 if he would still make sure I got into our room. The guy lost it! He changed from helpful to angry demon. He said we should cancel our stay right then. I just want to get safely into my room and I was being kicked out after struggling to simply get to my room. I have never been so poor ly treated while traveling and I have done my share in Europe and around the US. I told him I was hanging up and luckily the 3rd gate was open. It was the worst beginning of a stay I’ve ever experienced. We we told by other guests that there have been problems with the gates lately. He never apologize for his rude behavior. It has tainted my view of abnbs. I will think twice before staying in future.
The other problem was the lack of Parking. We assumed that the parking places by the gate behind the 6 units were for customers. But on a busy beach day we were told we were not allowed to park there but assured we could find street parking. My husband drove around for half hour looking and finally decided to drive around since he couldn’t find any. Ending up sitting in the car afraid our daughters car would be towed .
3rd problem with the room. We knew it would be small from descriptions but it just so happens I have my dominant arm in a sling and can’t put weight on it. The bed was push into an alcove so that one could only get in or out by climbing from bottom of the bed. No simple feat with one arm down. Luckily my son in law was able to help my husband pull it out. I had only that first awful night of scooting in and out to get to bathroom and adjusting fan due to heat and noise of the fan. Good luck to those who choose to stay at this unfriendly shack in the future. We won’t be returning.
