Pros
- very comfortable mattress
- well stocked kitchen (new ninja blender, nice set of utensils, etc)
- great location, close to the beach.
- great lighting in the bedroom
- large smart TV
- plenty of beach gears like chairs and umbrella and beach toys.
Cons
- The bikes leave a lot to be desired. I figured since they actively promote them in their photos that they’d be serviceable, but the handlebar on one of the bikes would move back and forth when you rode the bike.
I had planned to put a child bike seat on the back but there was no way I felt that it was safe enough to ride with a child on the back.
The owners didn’t seem to believe me when I told them this issue, which seemed odd. They said that if I didn’t feel comfortable riding the bikes, then I was welcome to not ride them. I guess I was just disappointed because I communicated in advance that I’d be bringing a child seat, so it was a let down.
- The bathroom smelled a bit musty the entire time.
- the bathtub spigot to fill up a bath didn’t work.
- The shower head broke when we were there, but was replaced within a day, which was good.
- The trash can has a motion sensor to open, but it ran out of batteries. The owner said that they could drop batteries or I could get them myself.
We ended up keeping the lid off the trash can for the whole trip bc we kept forgetting to buy batteries. I wish they would have extra batteries in the Airbnb for this situation or they would have proactively dropped them off.
We found Nicole to be very helpful and friendly. Raul was less tactful, but we appreciate them both trying to help us.
