The Airbnb was a very nice, clean, cute quaint little “home” for us to stay on our vacation.
However, the parking situation was a nightmare so we never used our rental car in fear we would come back to no open spot. We paid over $400 for a rental car that just sat parked and instead used an Uber to get around. Every day, every car parked in those spots were getting pink slips stating they were blocking the side walk and will be ticketed if it’s not moved forward (not at all possible) a small sedan couldn’t even fit without sticking out. I felt bad for those in a suv.
I would recommend you bring additional wash cloths and towels if you will be staying a week or more, since you only get 4 towels and 4 wash clothes and 2 hand towels to share between 2 people especially because after being in the ocean all day, you are full of sandy, dirty
and full of sunblock so you are likely to take one to two showers each day and you can run through those towels fairly quickly.
The communication was a little snarky with the host as he does not seem to be a morning person.
There was no parking tag for us as was promised so we would not get towed. I’n the messages and in the agreement it was Emphasized and marked **IMPORTANT** that once we got into our rental that we must immediately put the parking tag that would
be left on our bed, on our car and if we did not get one we must immediately text Doug to let him know. So we texted Doug at 8:35am to let him know and got no response, so 30 min later sent a pic of the vehicle and license plate (which was also recommended in the agreement) still no host response and all we wanted to do is ensure our rental car would not get towed and also to follow the host rules we agreed to. Instead we waited over an hour with no response when the reviews say he responds within an hour by almost an hour and a half of waiting (by this time my husband is getting hangry, waiting for a response so we can go eat breakfast and enjoy our first day here) I sent another message, this time through the Airbnb app and FINALLY got a message back, this is what Doug responded with
“ Yes, your husband texted me at 8 AM or thereabouts. While I saw those texts, I’ll make it a policy not to respond to anything too early, as I can be a grumpy old man. That’s fine you don’t have to worry about being towed”
That left us feeling like WE did something wrong when the truth was we did not get a tag that was promised and we were told several times to contact the host immediately if we didn’t. Or our car will be towed!
All of that aside. It was a pretty nice place but it could have been better if we were treated the way we treated our host..with respect, kindness and consideration since we were only trying to follow the rules he set for us.
I hope this helps!
