My first airbnb experience and it went well for the most part. I enjoyed the ease of arriving and checking in. I appreciated their flexibility with allowing dogs on the property and I had some visitors that were approved too. Me and my dogs had a good time at the beach and hanging out and enjoying the view from the deck.

Unfortunately, this wasn't a good fit for me. There is no enclosed area. Luckily I always bring gates and used them to close off the entire deck. I was able to send my dogs out to potty in the middle of the night. It was inconvenient (not 100% secure) and not something I thought to ask about as a first timer.

There are about 30 stairs to access the property. Steep path then 60 stairs to access the beach, this is diff than the description. Thought people may want to know.
If I had known the shower would run cold after 10ish mins I probably wouldn't have booked the place. Not in the description.

I had to search around for things like a sponge to wash dishes and found things later that could have been helpful the days prior like first aid kit, heater, and board games. The binder for the cottage was only helpful in finding the beach path. It was a hand drawn map and someone wrote a note about how to find your way there. I almost missed it, looked a few times before finding directions.

The closet market is about 15 mins away. It would have been nice for the host to provide a water filter or other type of drinking water.

Last, I booked this property for the reason that it would be very private. At 8am on my checkout day the host emailed me that a contractor will arrive at 11 am for an estimate. I could have stayed but decided to leave because I didn't want to be around for that. Again, I wanted privacy plus my dogs would have barked at them walking around.

The host apologized but I found this offputting. What if I had slept in and didn't see the email?

It was a nice place just not for me, but I'm sure others would look pass what didn't work for me and love it here.
