The good
Location was convenient with beach access which was pretty private with lots of walkable food trucks, restaurants and convenience stores
The kitchen was well equipped
Washer and dryer in unit as well as a dishwasher
Heather was kind enough to let us check in early and provide a crib and high chair for us
Not so good
a dated interior
The bed was really uncomfortable
As advertised the condo has one wall AC unit in the living room- it is very loud when on- for us this was a good thing as it created more white noise for our baby however others may not enjoy this
While it is true it is more than adequate to cool the whole place down in most seasons in the hotter months this was not the case. Even when following the instructions to create air flow the bedroom was stuffy and hot.
It would have been nice if the AC cooled the place down before we arrived- when we got there it was in the 90s outside and took a few hours for the condo to be bearable for everyone.
Smokers- one person who lives here and the renters next door- heather was kind enough to message them to stop.
During our stay there was a island wide power outage that lasted about 5-6 hours. I am a mother who is pumping for her baby using an electric pump every 2 hours or so. My baby does not take formula. This is why I was up at 3 am and noticed the power was out. I was hoping power would be restored and waited till around 6 am to contact heather (apologetically because I knew it was quite early). When I didn’t hear from her in an hour or so I reached out to Airbnb- not to complain (I would never blame a host for something like this) purely to see if airbnb could set us up in a place on the island that had power- at that point I didn’t know how long this was going to last and I needed to feed my baby. Heather reached out to us about two hours later stating her power was on and off as well and a forwarded news article. We then had power restored yay!
Airbnb did not reach out to us until 7 hours later at which point I assume they also reached out to heather. Then heather called and left a voicemail and texted me asking when I contacted Airbnb and why my “first call was to Airbnb”. (It wasn’t- my first text and call were to heather) - reaching out not to see if we were OK but being more concerned about why were reaching out to Airbnb left a very sour taste in my mouth.
