The house is in a good location in the northern part of PB. We were within walking distance of a grocery store, multiple restaurants, and the beach. The beds were nice and the interior was cozy and clean. The house matched the pictures in the listing. We stayed during Christmas, and there was a small Christmas tree in the house as well, which was cute.
During our stay, we found the dryer, hallway shower, and toaster weren’t working well. In the house listing amenities section, it had mentioned there weren’t any security cameras on property. However, there is a Ring camera by the front door, and it seemed like there was also a camera on the backyard patio as well. This kind of creeped out my family members that had never stayed in an Airbnb before.
Heads up: You’ll need to sign the rental agreement on Google Forms and take out a damage insurance policy ($59) on a propertydamageprotection website. To do this, you’ll have to provide the host with your email. Airbnb warns against communicating outside of their platform. This felt weird to me and I tried to push back a bit (offered to pay the $59 via Airbnb Resolution Center). In the end, I didn’t want to rock the boat and potentially end up being cancelled on during the holidays, so I just went with it.
