A rarely write reviews but this time I decided to do so. Let me start with the pros- place on the inside was as seen on the pictures, location was great, communication was fast and that’s about it. There are restaurants, grocery stores and coffee shops on walkable distance which was nice. Beach was 7 min drive.
Now let me start with the cons:
1.)The pictures of common areas are really outdated. It looks like they once had nice clean and vibrant colors. What we found was faded stained cushions full of mold and old wooden daybeds and chairs.
2.)They advertised the pool as a heated one which was a major factor for us to choose saying at that place at the end of December when the ocean is pretty cold. It turned out the ocean was warmer since te pool was not heated. When we asked them about it they said it was a mistake( actually they mention “the mistake” twice in their description) and it is still there.
3.) it says they committed to a 5- step cleaning or something and coming with a toddler who is constantly on the floor I expected at least the floor to be clean. What I found was filthy floors. My kid dropped a toy which made me look under the bed and what I found was big pieces of dust and dirt....disgusting. I decided to clean the floor myself but there was no mop or anything I could to use, so I had to go buy a swifter and a bucket to use. Plates and silverware were kinda greasy, too. So had to wash everything myself before use.
3.) kitchen- they had only the bare minimum. Only a serrated steak knife which I could barely use to cut an apple, no peeler,no lighter for the charcoal BBQ, not even a can opener if you decide to eat canned food. You have to buy literally everything. Not even close as they describe it as a kitchen” that can satisfy your inner chef”.
We stayed for 8 nights and (not like other Airbnb’s) this was not an apartment where someone lives and has everything you need. Mostly looked like a hotel room with the exception that they don’t clean it while you are there. If you decide to clean yourself- you have to go buy tools from the store. They didn’t even have extra trash bags for the trash can. I mean...if you stay for a night or two this would’ve been fine, but we spent 8 nights there and had to buy a whole package of trash bags just to use 3 of them.
At the end you get what you pay for I guess.
