The house, location, pool, and amenities were great. Kitchen was well-stocked, appliances worked, and having beach gear+towels was amazing! Lots of room for 10 to sleep, lounge, and remote work for 5 days. It was walking distance to the beach and close to restaurants.
A few things that we did not expect that would have made us reconsider booking:
1. There was no indication in the listing that the co-host, Kelly, lives immediately next door to the Airbnb with windows from two of the lower bedrooms facing into their driveway.
2. Both Kelly and Susan stopped by unannounced during our stay. While I appreciate the sentiment, it was unexpected and made the group tense.
3. Without a written description, we didn't realize that the house was completely open air with no glass panes/barriers. We knew about quiet hours, but a group of 10 can still be loud simply talking and laughing after dinner. It really put a damper on our evenings.
