I booked this trip from 9/30-10/7 based on the visual aspect, description and some of the recent reviews.
First and foremost, Rebecca was proactive in communicating as well as being responsive in all of my communication and offered solutions.
I would consider this condo to be in a prime location as it is across the street from beautiful beaches with excellent sunset views. You are close to gas stations if you have a car rental, ABC convenience store with deli, restaurants within walking distance, natural foods store with fresh juice bar, smoothies and sandwiches, local retail stores, and rentals for snorkel, standup paddleboard, surf boards, etc.
The condo was well stocked in the kitchen. This is a plus for families who want to cook and dine in. The condo offers 3 queen beds. The sofa bed is an air mattress and the second bedroom’s mattress was quite firm (we bought a bed topper for extra cushioning). The master shower had mold in the caulking and Rebecca offered to have the caulking redone provided the shower is dry before/after services. We suggested to have it done after we leave. We experienced a bit of roaches and crawling bugs in the kitchen area and Rebecca scheduled an exterminator while we were out of the condo. Realize though, roaches also travel through the pipes! The condo area was quiet and the residents were friendly. We were not able to check-in earlier due to cleaning from the previous customer who checked out earlier that morning . The A/C unit in the living room and ceiling fan in dining room will keep these areas cool. But it will remain warm and humid in both bedrooms despite open windows as well as ceiling fans and oscillating fans running. The condo is decorated nicely. It reminded me of a hotel setting. In person, it makes the condo a bit dark. For 4 adults, we did seem a bit cramped. The condo is located on the 3 1/2 floor so people with mobility or physical challenges must be able to walk (some) steps.
The day before we were scheduled to checkout, we received an extensive list of items to do. This is my 2nd time to rent thru Airbnb and didn’t know if this was a common practice from hosts since we pay a cleaning fee.
We didn’t use the pool area at all. No problems with the designated parking spot, which is next to the dumpster and convenient to take the trash/recycling items daily.
Given this experience, I would still rent this Airbnb and recommend it. Just know and understand what to expect.
