We didn’t have a great start to our vacation when we came to the Airbnb. It had just rained so it was extremely humid; it felt like we walked into a sauna when we entered the home. We spent about 20 mins trying to figure out how to turn on the AC, pressed every button we could, turned off the timer, etc. but it just wouldn’t turn on! We were pretty desperate to get some cool air going bc our baby’s face was starting to turn red and he was sweating! Tried contacting the owners from the handbook provided, one number wasn’t even in service and no answer for the other; there was also no answer when we called their property manager or whoever it was. There was a whole page in the handbook that talked about the natural breeze so we opened the balcony door and it was just as bad bc of the rain and extreme humidity. I messaged Mary through Airbnb asking why the AC wasn’t working and she said to use the remote..which of course had no batteries. At this point our baby was just in diapers to keep cool and we were contemplating just booking a hotel room to get out of this misery if we don’t get some sort of help. About half hour later we finally got a call back from the property manager who sent her husband to check out the AC unit. When he came to check out the AC, the power button was actually rubbed off so you couldn’t see it to turn it on! He replaced the remote with batteries and finally the AC was working and no fussy baby. This seemed very unnecessary and should have been a part of just maintaining the unit.
After being in the unit for a little over an hour, we noticed our feet were extremely dirty from walking barefoot on the ground. That’s so gross, was it not mopped before we came?? There were no cleaning supplies (not even surface cleaner) so we had to go out and buy it so that our baby can crawl around without being a mop himself. We also noticed the cups weren’t clean, there were finger prints on some still..yuck.
Overall the home could use better maintenance and it was pretty dated; doors squeaked, the bathtub was discolored, shower curtain was falling off, sink knobs were sticky, paint was peeling, etc.
The condo was in a great location near nice beaches and restaurants. However, next time I would spend a little more to stay somewhere cleaner and newer for better overall comfort.
