We understood this rental did not have and air conditioner before we booked and thought we could make it work because in the past, rentals by the beach, even in the summer, could cool off with the ocean breeze coming in. This rental, however, was an exception. Our 18 month old could not get to sleep in the 86 degree home (baby monitor indicated room temp) until we decided to try driving around in our car, with air conditioning, at 11pm after over 2 hours of trying to put him to bed.
It was so bad that we opted to get a hotel the 2nd night instead.
The 1 star rating is for lack of professionalism and communication on the hosts’ part. We reached out to them to see if they could work with us regarding the 2nd night since we wouldn’t be there, but acknowledged that it was okay if a refund wasn’t an option. We did not get a response even though they supposedly respond to most within 1 hour. I don’t understand how they are super hosts and this rental has the ratings it does. Our experience did not reflect that at all
