I’ve never stayed at an Airbnb on vacation before. My family is a firm believer In hotels, so when I surprised them with this place they were a little hesitant (they like room service you see.)
Not gonna lie, the check in process could have been easier. The code they sent me for the front door didn’t work, so I had to call the host company for aid. Two codes later, we were able to get inside the condo. The people talked to were very nice and efficient, and apologized for the inconvenience.
Once inside, any ill feelings about the check-in experience disappeared. The condo was beautiful, and the view from the patio was even better! To hear the ocean from where we stayed was magical. We all spent many mornings and evenings staring out into the ocean on it.
The A/C worked swell, the beds and pillows were VERY comfortable, and the entire place was well stocked with appliances and very clean.
There a garage! This was a MAJOR plus for us.
It would be nice if there was a water spigot, or something to wash off the sand from the beach, and the checkout time (10am) was too early. Definitely felt rushed to get out of there in time.
Some things to consider:
LOTS stairs within the condo. We brought our dog with us (old lady chihuahua). Normally we leave our pets with a sitter, but she has some medical issues that I didn’t want to burden the pet sitter with. Unfortunalty, there was an incidence the first night where she tumbled down the stairs (she’s ok!) If you are bringing a dog, (or person lol) make sure they are able to use stairs.
The green belt seen from the patio is a popular place to be. During the day, many people set up tents, and sleeping bags and lounge around on out there all day (some of them clearly homeless) At night, they often play loud music, dance, etc. It didn’t bother us, for thats “beach culture” but it may bother some. When walking the pup to use the bathroom, no one bothered us.
The back doors to the patio are HARD to open. We even had to call the host company (again, lol) about it. They sent someone over to show us how to open the doors (how embarrassing…. But goes to show good customer service!)
