My boyfriend and I stayed for 6 days at mary’s place.
Mary was quick to respond and always available to answer questions and help when needed.
When we first got there, I was a little surprised, as the pictures make it seem as though the pool area is easily accessible from the room. While in fact you have to go around their home, and in front of their back patio to get there. This made me feel a lack of privacy. The view from the pool and jacuzzi was beautiful, and well worth all the hype. The “kitchen” is MINIMAL. Microwave, mini fridge, and coffee maker.
Walking to the room, you are met with a camera, which I understand the safety in securing their home, but I felt watched, and again, lack of privacy. We did not feel comfortable using the firepit provided, simply because the camera is facing directly at that area. (Lack of privacy theme).
I had a friend visit from a city a couple of hours away, and mary was quick to send a message to say she was not allowed. I understand the insurance liability with the pool on the property, but I did not feel welcome, and felt watched, without privacy.
I have stayed at several air Bnb’s, and I understand America is lawsuit happy, and certain rules are put into place because others have affected the trust of hosts/ homeowners, but here I did not feel as though there was privacy.
