Sadly, this property did not live up to its description. The location was great, and it was very helpful having an assigned parking spot. We appreciated the short fencing to keep our dogs in the small backyard area, as well as the new-looking patio table and chairs. The house was generally clean, but the couch was stained and filthy, as were the lounge chairs in the yard. There were lots of bath towels and washcloths, but some were stained and old-looking. The smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarm were missing (just mounting brackets were there). The WiFi was basically non-existent, with .13 MBPS download speed and no ability to upload. The Direct TV did not work either, possibly because of the lack of internet connection?
The beach cruisers were laying in the muddy yard with several other junker bikes. I never saw the surfboards, cooler, or wagon that were supposed to be there. There were a few beach towels, which we used to cover the filthy couch. The coded keypad at the front door was broken and laying on the ground. (We had received a message telling us to use the key in the lockbox.) The front door was wide open when we arrived. One of the two locks on the backdoor was broken off. There is no "designated workspace" as listed in the amenities - just a corner nook in the kitchen with benches and a small table.
We have stayed in many vacation rentals. Some exceeded expectations, some met expectations, and some weren't great but were still acceptable. This is the only time that we decided to leave a property after just one night. We requested a refund for the five nights that we would not be there (agreeing to pay for the one night, the cleaning fee and the service fee), but were only refunded for four nights. We're still trying to resolve this through Airbnb.
