This is a tale of two Airbnb experiences.

1) The house is beautiful, 5 minutes from the beach, 10 minutes from a grocery store/city center and plenty of space and bedrooms to accommodate 8-10 people. The in-law apartment downstairs can accommodate an additional 2 people which made it the ideal spot for my family's vacation. Big back yard for playing lawn games and a nice grill to cook dinners with.

2) The problems I experienced during my trip revolve around that in-law apartment. When I made the reservation, the Airbnb description said I was renting the entire house that I could fit 12 people. A day into our stay, the owner of the house said that we had to clear out of the in-law apartment because her tenants were coming home. This caused major problems because we didn't have enough room to accommodate everyone in our party without that bedroom. We were able to get the real estate company to refund us the price of the vacated bedroom but it took an extensive negotiation involving several phone calls, emails and texts. Definitely not something I wanted to deal with during a vacation.

If you do rent this place, just make sure you clarify exactly what living space you are reserving as the real estate company and landlord didn't communicate any of that to me and it really put a big damper on the experience.

I'm giving the house a 2 for the overall experience I recently had but it likely would have been a 4 otherwise.
