The unit's location and its proximity to the bay/ocean is hard to beat. The bay is literally outside the front door and the ocean is a two block walk. Lots of nearby activities and restaurants. Other than a couple trips to the grocery store we didn't need to take our car our of the garage. However, key omissions and misrepresentations regarding this property's details left us less than completely satisfied with our stay.
First, the Airbnb amenities list a dishwasher. There is no dishwasher. This item was pointed out in a recent review but yet the Airbnb post still lists a dishwasher today.
And while the listing does not explicitly list an oven it doesn't highlight the fact that there isn't one. It's kind of like having a bathroom that doesn't list a toilet. It's just one of those things you expect and would feel cheated if it wasn't there.
Some miscellaneous nuisance items (granted some are nitpicky)... The toilet paper holder is broken leaving you to chase the roll around the bathroom. There is literally one electrical outlet in the king bedroom located behind the headboard and both plugs are taken for the bedside lamps. So electronics (phone, tablet, e-reader, etc.) many people recharge over night on the nightstand have to be recharged in another room. The king bed sheets were ill-fitting causing the bed to "strip" itself while you sleep. There are only two chairs on the patio so if you have 6 people staying there, four of them will be forced to use some of the foldable beach chairs in the garage. And that large umbrella shown in the photos that covers the entire dining table has been replaced with a much smaller umbrella. The kitchen is minimally outfitted. There is a medium sized sauté pan and frying pan with the non-stick coating peeling off, Items are scattered about various drawers/cabinets I assume to avoid having a bunch of empty drawers/cabinets. One three-self cabinet holds 6 coffee mugs (2 per shelf).
The laundry situation for us was the worst part. Airbnb lists a washer and dryer, which it has in the detached/shared garage. What you don't find out is about the usage restrictions until you get the welcome letter shortly before arrival. Not being able to wash everyday between 10am-3pm is a major item that should be disclosed up-front. As should the fact that the washer and dryer are not only shared with the other unit but the are also used by cleaning staff for these two and other nearby units (hence I assume the reason for the daily blackout). There is a single, shared laundry basket to shuttle your clothes between the unit and the garage that appears/disappears randomly.
Some of this info can now be gleaned from more recent reviews but those were not available when we booked last February. In any case important details like these should be accurately reflected/communicated before potential guests make a non-refundable booking. For us the lack of an oven and dishwasher would not have been a deal-breaker but the laundry situation/restrictions would have.
