Overall 5 stars and a very pleasant, seamless experience. My guests and I had a wonderful time and while I list cons, we really have no major complaints.
Cons:
1) Check in late, check out early. What happened to 11am and 3pm?
2) The loft is NOT a loft, it is the staircase landing, leading to a bedroom. If there wasn’t a bedroom on the same floor it would be fine, but the tiny twin double decker bed bumps up on the same wall as a bedroom bed. Not ideal for privacy.
3) I get it’s professionally managed, but the excessive rules are just too much. Tone it down a bit. AC isn’t allowed below 72°… To use fire pit have to turn on main gas line on side of house, every time you are done you are supposed to turn off main gas line, let it cool, then put the cover back on… and of course, the extremely strict 10pm rule. Etc.
4) Cameras. Cameras. Cameras. Never ok. So uncomfortable. I rent entire homes so I don’t have an owner standing over my shoulder the whole trip, but with cameras everywhere it really takes away from the experience.
5) The sheets were extremely uncomfortable, feels like sleeping in Saran Wrap.
Pros:
1) Basically exactly as photographed.
2) Tons to do in the area.
3) Literally steps to the bay in one direction, ocean to the other.
4) Beautiful and usable living room/kitchen area. Hot tub and fire pit are so nice also.
5) For once! An Airbnb with enough towels! The bathrooms had four, and they had a lot of beach towels too! Thank you so much! This is actually a huge miss at most Airbnbs.
6) Lots of fun beach supplies in the garage, which was big enough to fit two SUVs btw.
Overall really enjoyed the home and would rent from this company again. Upgrade the sheets (even just basic cotton) and remove the cameras and it would have been a perfect experience.
