I’m going to try and make this quick. Evan will surely discredit everything I have to say about this place but I don’t much care at this point. Check in was very easy and great. Evan was very communicative beforehand. We were supposed to spend the last 3 days of our honeymoon in this unit. After check in we settled in and decided on where we wanted to go for a late dinner. After dinner we got back to the unit around 10 or so and my wife hopped in the shower while I got ready for bed. I mentioned to her that the floor felt a little dirty and she agreed but we decided well we’re near the beach, it happens, we’ll just deal with it (irony to follow). Keep in mind we never went to this exclusive beach that’s listed in the ad. I pulled back the blanket and sheets and got in bed and immediately felt a gritty substance all over my body. I thought maybe just the sheets are scratchy so I started running my hands all around the bed and felt a gritty substance everywhere. I was disgusted. I immediately messaged Evan and told him this was unacceptable. My biggest issue with this was I immediately became paranoid about the cleanliness of literally everything in that unit. I no longer wanted to stay there because I had no confidence it was clean and sanitary. In a time where everyone claims they are taking extra steps due to Covid, this place is cutting corners. Evan offered another set of sheets from the closet but we found those to be unsatisfactory as well. He did also offer to have his cleaning crew come in the next morning and clean everything again. I had already lost any faith in this cleaning crew and was determined to leave. Evan claimed that since we were near the beach it’s reasonable to assume sand could remain in the sheets after washing them, sure that’s reasonable to assume but wash them until it’s gone. I’ve been to beaches dozens of times and I have never had an issue with sand being in the bed. Maybe the places I have been to do a much better job cleaning. We checked into the best western plus across the marina, we could literally see the unit from our hotel and never found a speck of sand in the bed. I requested a refund from Evan and he declined. Airbnb arrived at the conclusion that what we experienced was a “minor inconvenience”. No one would have thought this was a minor inconvenience had they experienced it. Evan messaged me the night before we were supposed to check out to inform us when check out was the next morning and asked us to please hand wash any dishes we may have used. Another red flag, he expects his guests to sanitize the dishes? I informed him that we had not been back to the unit since we left the first night. I am fully aware that the previous reviews for this place do not reflect my experience. Literally the two reasons we chose this place was because of its cleanliness score of 4.9 and the location. I’m glad that previous users found the place clean for their stay, I wish that I could say the same for ours. I may sound unreasonable, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect clean bedding. I hope that whoever chooses this place in the future has a much better experience than we had. We both thought the place was perfect when we walked in but it all went downhill from there. Evan seems like a nice guy and again was very communicative. He attempted to offer solutions for the issues but the damage was already done. We had lost all faith and peace of mind in the cleanliness of this unit. I apologize this was so long but I wanted to be thorough. We were able to salvage the last leg of our honeymoon and had a great time on our first visit to San Diego. I highly recommend visiting San Diego but I cannot recommend staying here.
