This AirBnB has so much potential but unfortunately it has major flaws and an owner that wrote me an insulting message when I brought them to his attention for future guests.
Pros:
The view and lanai are incredible.
We were able to check-in a couple hours early.
The host left a very nice welcome gift (unfortunately that’s where his kindness ends).
The living room is very nice with a huge tv and sound bar.
The location is a few minutes walk to a great beach.
Cons:
When I mentioned these cons to the owner he somehow found a way to blame us for every single thing and personally insulted me by writing “you write well but your reasoning is off”. I’ll let readers determine what they think of my reason.
As multiple other reviewers state, the downstairs bedroom is too hot and humid to sleep in (the description says the room is cool enough to sleep in at night which is not true). Despite following every single one of the owner’s directions to cool it down it was impossible to sleep in and my brother had to sleep on the couch for the remainder of our stay. The owner somehow blamed us for this (we San Franciscans can’t handle the heat).
There is not enough hot water for even one person to take a comfortable shower. The owner responded that the hot water runs for 11 minutes. Supposedly that is sufficient for an entire condo. You will have to wait between showers for the water to heat back up which makes freshening up from the beach a long affair.
The living room light was out as well as the stairwell light. The owner said this is our fault because we requested an early check-in so they didn’t have time to catch it.
We only complained to the owner about the heat, and decided to live with the other issues since we didn’t want to be burdened with repairs during our trip. However, on the last day the owner asked if anything needed attention. When we let him know, that set off a series of responses which blamed us for all the issues that came up which was a terrible way to end our trip.
