We rented this Airbnb for a business trip.
Once we booked, a third party Property Management company, LUVA, not RedAwning, contacted me and said in order to stay at the property we had to sign a contract. Mind you, I had already made the purchase for the rental, which was non refundable, and no where in the details of the property information does it say anything about signing an additional contract to stay at the property. It made me feel a little uneasy, but the purchase was already made.
The stay was extremely uncomfortable. There was no AC, which was listed in the Airbnb add, but what was reported in the Airbnb add was that they had ceiling fans and "The Ocean Breeze". The condo was extremely hot, there were fans, but they provided little relief, so the windows were left open at night, so they may take advantage of the ‘island breeze’, otherwise it felt like a sauna inside. Half way into the stay it got extremely windy and over the night, from the wind, there was sand that had blown into the condo from the windows, leaving a thick layer of sand over everything. Including getting into the bedding. Extremely uncomfortable. Tried cleaning out the sand but it was everywhere. Kitchen, bedding, everywhere.
After we left the property manager thru LUVA contacted us and said the property was left extremely filthy and the cleaners had to perform an extra deep cleaning, and we would have to pay an additional cleaning fee, once she receives the bill from the cleaning company. I told her about the wind, and the sand blowing in the window, and also verified that wind speeds were at 22mph that weekend, and due to the act of nature it was not our responsibility. I did not believe the additional cleaning costs should be pushed upon us and we would not take responsibility for the sand being blown into the home due to high winds. As we cleaned up after our selves, took out the trash, cleaned out the refrigerator. If there was any damage to the property caused by negligence they would have a valid claim. As this would have happened regardless of who was staying in the home. Since that conversation I have not heard back, so hopefully there won't be any issues.
The property was nice and the location was great, but renter beware. They ask you to sign a contract they don't tell you about prior to renting, the house is extremely hot, and if its windy outside, don't leave the windows open as wind will blow into the house everywhere including your beds.
