The host was super fast at communicating with us and making sure everything was good. The location was absolutely beautiful, safe, and came with lots of parking which was nice. The host was quick to fix the ceiling fan that was broken upon arrival and also to pay for a replacement beach umbrella, which also ended up being broken upon arrival. The master bedroom was super spacious and they just replaced the A/C unit, so it was super comfortable. There were a few things that we did have a problem with, however.
The rental looks very different from the pictures shown. There are more couches in the pictures and it overall looks much nicer than it did in person. There was only one couch (I think it’s the pullout couch), which smelled like body odor and sweat, and a leather rocking chair.
There is no A/C in the living room, just in the bedrooms, and it doesn’t say that anywhere in the listing. This made being in the living room and kitchen very hot and uncomfortable, even with three fans going.
Upon arrival, we were only given two rolls of toilet paper and one paper towel roll. We asked for more and we were given six rolls of toilet paper and another single paper towel roll. Upon letting the host know that we would need more (we stayed for 8 days and there were 4 of us), we were informed that in the welcome letter, it says that we have to buy paper products after those run out. This was something we were not aware of, and was not in the listing. Although it’s a small detail, it made a big difference. Hotels and most airbnbs I’ve stayed at always offer toilet products, and for the amount we paid, we expected those to be provided. The host offered to reimburse us for the paper products, which was very sweet and generous, but I think that this detail should be put in the listing.
There were also some cockroaches and spiders (both me and my husband got spider bites), and I actually found spiders on my bed in the spare bedroom.
We most likely won’t be staying here again. It was an okay rental, and again, the host was absolutely amazing and sweet. But it just wasn’t comfortable enough for us, and did not meet our expectations. I think a few tweaks would make this airbnb perfect, and again, the host is amazing.
