My family and I had an excellent stay at Sundeep's condo over Thanksgiving weekend. The location is simply unbeatable -- right on the ocean, less than a five-minute walk to the beach and an enchanting, sweeping view. The long deck is a lovely space to watch the sunset, soak in some morning sunshine or have a drink. It is fun being close to the cement ship and miles of beach to walk.
The condo itself is in a rather old and unimpressive building but has been nicely remodeled on the inside. We did not see or use the pool, so I can't comment on that. The condo comes with a single parking spot right out front and it is easy to get in and out. The condo complex itself was quiet and very pleasant.
The condo is very, very clean -- one of the cleanest Airbnbs I have ever stayed in. With two king beds and two full bathrooms it is very spacious and comfortable for two couples. The kitchen is roomy for cooking and the living room comfortable for lounging. There is also an in-unit washer and dryer.
The condo certainly served our needs and was very comfortable. My only criticism would be that, for the price we paid -- $1,121 for two nights -- I would have expected much better attention to detail. Clearly the condo is well-used and rented out on a regular basis, as things have gotten run down and not replaced which, at this price point, bothered me: the spatulas in the kitchen were melted, the white couch was stained, the pillow cases on one of the beds were dirty, the towels provided were very frayed and thin, one of the soap dispensers in the shower was broken, the coffee pot was a piece of junk and leaked, and the toilet in the master bedroom had to be shut off at one point because it was running incessantly. These are all details and none of them ruined our stay, and I imagine other guests may not even notice such details. But for almost $600 per night I expected better.
I sent a couple of messages on Airbnb that the host never responded to, but when I called the number provided she answered and was very polite. Also, I was given the chance to check in an hour early and check out a half hour late, which I really appreciated especially as there were other guests on either end.
Last note -- on Friday night the garbage trucks game to the condo complex, at around 4 AM. It was by far the loudest and longest garbage collection I have ever heard; our whole family was kept awake for about 30 minutes. This is by no means a negative reflection on the house or the host, just a warning to future guests. Otherwise the place is very quiet.
