Not what I expected...I'm going to start for the positive before diving into the negatives about this property. Location couldn't be any better unless you were oceanfront. This property was a very short walk to a beautiful beach area that seems to be not as busy as other popular spots. Also a short walk to some excellent restaurants and convenient grocery store. For a family with 6 adults it was nice to have 3 seperate bedrooms. The kitchen seemed to have everything you'd need if you wanted to cook a meal.
The not so good... Description and photos of this property are not accurate and I feel are very misleading. Lets start with the property title. It mentions a Gym. There most definitely is not a gym in sight. Not a big deal, but just goes to show the management company that runs this airbnb does really care about accurately listing this and I'd guess many of their other properties.
Back to the description. It states it's been recently remodeled. Yes, this house has been updated since being built in the 40's. But I'd say that remodel was at least 15 years ago. Things have not been well cared for. Which is a shame, because a little tlc this would be a fantastic rental. The front patio does not seat 6 as the description mentions. There were 4 chairs out there, 3 now after the fabric broke while we were sitting out there. The photos of the patio also show 2 nice and clean rugs with bright blue umbrella. What actually there is one very dingy rug that I would only walk on with shoes and a very weathered white umbrella. The back patio is also much different than shown. No plants in sight...different rug than photoed(also super dingy), different outdoor table that's not near as nice, and patio furniture cushions we actually removed because they were also very dingy and not clean at all to sit on.
Moving inside. Everything is very worn down and not represented in photos shown. Being a listing that only has one review I expect it to be "as pictured". I can understand things getting worn and changed out. But the host should be updating this listing when changes are made. Not a single rug that is shown in the photos exists anymore. Pictures and wall art shown are no longer there in some rooms. Master bedroom end tables are different and there are not long lamps. The door to close the shower in the master is missing. Listing states master has access to the back patio.. in which it doesn't unless you count crawling out of a window. Listing goes as far as to state it offers luxury linens? While the sheets weren't uncomfortable, they most definitely aren't luxurious. 3/4's of the bath towels were actually old beach towels. Beds were old and uncomfortable. Living room has a slightly different layout now and has patio furniture inside.
All in all this place was just not what we were expecting as I've never stayed in an Airbnb that was not accurately described or pictured. If listing and photos were updated to represent the current state of this property I'd wouldn't be saying a word. I still do think this isn't a bad place to stay. And honestly, I would have likely booked it anyway as the price wasn't bad for a 3 bedroom house close to the beach. I just want to know these things ahead of time so I'm not expecting something that it is not.
