Stayed here for 4 months during covid lockdown. For the price I paid (discounted due to lockdown & long term stay) the place was great value. Large, comfy, and amazing views. I loved waking up to the panoramic view of the beach from the master bedroom. Steps were an issue at first but after a while you got used to it. The central heating was a godsend during the cold winter as being a wooden house on top of a cliff facing the sea, it can get very very cold. Lots of included amenities and can easily host families. The extra TV area downstairs was great for movie nights & the big spacious garage was very handy. The place could probably do with a little updating especially the kitchen bench area. Wifi is not great downstairs so I had to set up my own equipment. The owner (who lives nearby & dropped around a few times for maintenance purposes) & host were generally very friendly & responsive.
The issue with the host is that they are a professional Airbnb/property management company and basically like to try to overcharge everything : like 4-5 times as much as it should cost: for example cleaning services or just to get a spare key, they wanted to charge me a lot, so I just sourced everything myself. Also had big issues with the extension as they were wanting me to pay ridiculously high rates (more than 3x what I was paying) and then when I finally agreed to a part of it and made plans around it, they decided to retract the offer and my extension. This was so bad as I was put out a lot. When I complained there was no sensitivity as they just wanted to make more $.
I've stayed in 100's of Airbnb's all over the world & have excellent reviews. This experience with this host has to be one of the most unpleasant ones I have had to deal with. I mean again, at the beginning they were friendly, responsive and helpful but things definitely turned sour at the end. Very frustrating and upsetting experience.
I would recommend the actual property but would be wary about renting from this host in future.
