This was not a typical Airbnb experience. This is a condo rental experience.
Upon arrival I had to check-in, provide a credit card for deposit, and pay for the use of in-room safe. There’s nothing personal about it.
I don’t think I ever communicated with the owner, just the property manager.
I used ear plugs, pack them.
The view makes up for most of the annoying things.
It was originally listed with a sofa bed & that turned out not to be accurate. The owner’s agent did apologize and said they’d update the listing. We had planned on 2 beds, so it was disappointing and I felt decreased the value for what we paid.
The wifi password is like a treasure hunt.
Want coffee for the coffee maker? It’s a $1, you’ll find it at the office.
The location is pretty great. Easy drive to Coconut Market. Look for Farmers Market on Tuesday & Thursday.
We saw the Hubble on our last night. The unit is in a perfect place to see it. Use a star app to track it. Very cool b/c it’s a small orbit.
You can walk to a snorkel spot although it wasn’t great when we went (February).
The complex felt safe, easy and free parking, clean enough. And it’s a million $ view. The walls are pretty thin or sound travels well. I could hear the next unit’s conversation, microwave, doors closing, etc. They appear to be full-time residents/owners.
I would stay here again but I hate the thought of someone thinking this is how Airbnb units work. I’ve stayed in units in at least 4 countries & across the US and I was a host myself.
I spent hours planning our accommodations. I chose this for the view & 2 bed option (that did not exist). My BF really liked the place & I enjoyed it as well. It’s 3/5 stars for Airbnb & a 4/5 stars if you think of it as a condo rental.
