What I wish I knew:
1) You will still owe ~ 18% in taxes once Airb&b says you have PAID IN FULL. You will not know this until 2 days before your vacation.
2) You will still have to pay for AC ($25/day)
So when you are comparing the rates of your rental add on another ~$850 per week on average. This will give you a better comparison to the other rentals in the area. Had I known this upfront I would have selected another rental. No one else does it this way.
The rental was also a little further from other amenities that I would have liked. Not their fault, just something I noticed.
Ron also wasn’t the friendliest person. He compared me to a Kindergartner when I brought what I perceived as hidden fees to his attention. They were in the description, I’ve just never experienced this before.
The good:
The house was nice. The place was clean. The view was beautiful. The person in charge of cleaning was very kind when we were doing our best to be out of there by the 10am checkout.
