I've put off and feel bad writing this review, because Randi is very nice. The location coudnt be better for access to OB. She provided us snacks, towels, face masks, and beach supplies.
That being said, our experience at our stay was less than pleasant. First of all, it's a shared bathroom that connects to our room and her room which isn't noted. You can only lock the bedroom when you're inside it, not when you leave for the day. The front door is always left open and although we felt the area was safe, having the front door OR at least the bedroom door locked while our belongings are in the house all day would help for peace of mind.
Regarding the “yard”.. what yard?!? There was a tiny deck with no patio furniture, dog pee all over, and what looked like am outdoor bed? The pictures showing a nice garden area are completely inaccurate.
All of these things were miniscule compared to the strange environment we found ourselves in while staying with Randi.
One instance involved Randi screaming, cursing at the tv because it couldn’t understand her request, because she sounded shitfaced drunk and was slurring her words at 6:30 pm. We had happened to stop in for a few hours between plans and we’re in our bedroom feeling extremely uncomfortable. It felt violent and a little deranged.
Another very strange instance was when my friend was in the house alone and Randi initiated an interaction while holding a cockroach in her hand (to feed her turtle) Randi also showed her a huge bruise on her face and told my friend that her and her male friend (that had slept there) were “horsing around” and he round house kicked her?!?! In the face! What the hell going on there..?
Lastly, she kept saying (without anyone asking) one of the two adult dogs wasn’t hers that it belonged to a friend. Later in the weekend she told me friend “don’t tell anyone but he’s my dog”…why lie?! all I can say again is what the hell is going on there?!???
Last but not least the house smelled like piss and shit from the many animals roaming around her property. It was tidy but felt dirty.
All in all we left really shaken and weirded out and just happy that we remained unharmed during our stay with Randi. Like I said she is a nice person but I would just stay somewhere else if you can.
