We stayed for a total of 4 days and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Only things we had complaints about is that there was really a lack of hospitality… how much this place is a night you’d figure there would be more quality items in the house to use. Private owners of AirBNBs go above and beyond for guests and since this property is owned by a vacation rental business, there isn’t much thought being put into the accommodations.
Pros -
- great location
- rooftop feature was amazing
- everything was clean and modern
- great walking distance to Mission Beach/Belmont Park
- garage parking spot
- garage was filled with bikes and fun stuff to do for activities.
- master bed was nice and comfortable
- lighting in the house was nice and bright and it was decorated really well.
Cons - (the small things go a long way!)
- wine cooler didn’t work at all
- you would think for how much you pay a night for this place it would be well stocked: paper towels, toilet paper, spices, food storage… etc. just seemed like there was no thought put into the place for accommodations.
- there were two propane tanks filled in the garage but when we went up to the rooftop to light a fire the tank in the pit wasn’t changed out. So we had to change that out. Not a big deal just a minor inconvenience.
- ice machine stopped making ice 2nd day in and stopped working, then the last day it all of a sudden worked.
- literally not even salt and pepper was in the house and the liquor store down the road is expensive so bring your own spices if you plan to cook like we did.
- the shower in the master bathroom made weird noises when you go to turn the water on, so we thought something was wrong there but it seemed fine after the water came on..?
- couch in the living room is very uncomfortable and the cushions are flat. Look at getting a more accommodating couch in the future.
- TV in the living room was wonky… we tried plugging in our Nintendo Switch to play a game and the HDMI port was messed up on it and had to reset the tv a few times to make it work.
- check out is at 10am… most places are at 11am and check in is at 3pm.
Overall, the place is really nice and clean and is in a great location. I’m still giving the place a 4 stars but like I said above… it’s the little things that really would make the stay that much better. The rooftop feature was our favorite, it was nice to sit by a fire drink some wine or a beer and relax and hear the ocean in the background. The neighborhood is actually pretty quiet for the location and being so close to Belmont Park. I would recommend this AirBNB to anybody looking to get out for a stay-cation or coming to visit from out of town!
