Guests beware. Unresponsive host. Inaccurate listing. Poor communication. Not a surfer's paradise as it's two miles uphill from the beach. Run by a property manager who clearly prioritizes profits over people.
The place may be nice inside (I wouldn't know since I couldn't get in) but beware if anything goes wrong during your stay.
Location is not accurate on the Airbnb map (appearing on Crespi Drive near the beach) but is instead a mile inland at a different address.
Arriving after dark is not pleasant. Entrance behind the gate is dark and goes behind the house, which is on support beams and totally barren - no landscaping, lighting or signage to guide your way, and feels spooky like you're going under the house.
I wasn't able to find the lockbox with my iPhone light. Left the backyard because I felt unsafe, unwelcome, and did not want to stay there.
Back out on the street, I called the number they provided for help. It was answered by what sounded like a call center. The person I spoke to was not helpful and did put me at ease. She may have been able to help me find the lockbox if I'd stayed on the phone and gone back in the scary backyard, but no part of me wanted to go back there. I left with my niece, who was waiting with me to make sure I got in safely.
I shared these details with the host and requested a refund, at a minimum the cleaning fee as I did not stay the night. I never received any response from the host and there has been no resolution, other than for them to write me an unprompted review.
I am an Airbnb Superhost myself, and am disappointed that this poor caliber of hosting even exists on this platform.
Do not recommend one bit.
