The host's Airbnb property information advertised the space as family/child friendly, in addition to noting that a variety of beach essentials and other amenities were included. It truly appeared "too good to be true" from the posting...
... And it was. Not only were many of the amenities not in fact available (pop-up tents, beach towels, outdoor shower did not allow for any privacy), the larger and more concerning issue related to the property's safety. The front and back porches had chipped paint that would scratch your feet if you were not wearing shoes. The back porch lacked stability and caved in slightly when stepped on. Rusty nails were coming out the bottom of the house. And the porches. And the stairs going up to the porches. The grass on the front lawn was so dry; it would pierce your skin and draw blood. We could not walk across it without footwear. The screen doors also had nails coming out of them and did not open and close properly (they were removed when we returned to the property three weeks later).
One morning, we woke up to the sound of gunshots close to the property. The Puuloa Rifle Range, used by the US Military, is located next to the playground and park, a 1/4 mile from the house.
We found a safer property on Vrbo and left Roger's property four days after we checked in. Despite the visual evidence we sent to Roger about the property, he refused to issue our family a refund. And because we reported the issues to the home 38 hours after we arrived at the house instead of 24 hours, Airbnb said they were legally not obligated to give us a refund either.
That is all.
