Pros:
- Hosts were communicative about the check-in and check-out processes
- Location was accurate; rental was very close to the beach and eateries
- Unit was on top floor and had more privacy than the others
- Bunk beds and couch were comfortable
Cons/things to be aware of:
- Appliances are old and could use attention. One of the burners on the stove was not working properly.
- On the first day of our stay, I informed the hosts that our fridge was not keeping our food cold. They simply responded, "Is the freezer working?" When I replied yes, there was no further communication or follow-up. The fridge eventually got colder the next day, but I've never had an Airbnb experience like this where there was no further communication from the host about something as essential as a fridge.
- Since this unit does not have AC, you have to open the windows. This is completely fine but some of the windows do not have screens, so insects fly in freely. Might not be a big deal to you, but an fyi.
- Both pull-out beds had hair from previous guests on them.
- If you're looking for a quiet rental, this is definitely not the place. The surrounding area is loud through the night. But if you don't mind noise, then the location is good.
- As mentioned by the hosts, street parking is free but can be tricky to find if you go during peak times so be prepared for that. This is expected since it's right by the beach.
