I just needed a place that was cheap to spend the night. The lovely view from the small dock, the cheap price tag, and proximity to the place I had spent the previous two nights seemed very convenient, and I would only be there overnight. I was fooled by the price tag. After Airbnb added it’s cut and the taxes, I might as well have spent the night in a hotel
I arrived in pouring rain. The narrow entrance and the camper parked at the entrance made me a little leery. After entering the security code at the first door and continuing down the passageway, it was hard to see the numbers at the second door, which delayed my entry in the pouring rain. The first thing I noticed was that the blinds were broken so that one could see into the room from the outside. The small room was hot and I had to get help online turning on the air conditioner, there were no instructions for anything. It turned out the air conditioner was controlled by a remote, and temperatures were set in Centigrade not Fahrenheit. In the pouring rain there was nothing to do but order a takeout Pizza and watch the TV. The TV did not work. The TV was hanging by one screw and a plug that was plugged into the socket behind it. There was a plug hanging down from the TV, and I was told to plug it in behind the TV, which caused the TV to pivot on the one screw. Once plugged in the TV did not have internet access. Two nice young girls came in and reconnected to the internet but I was only able to get NETFLIX, but not the news that I wanted.
There was only one set of plugs in the room opposite the foot of the bed that was partially hanging out of the wall. Fortunately I had a long extension cord to plug in the device that I have to have beside me during the night.
Once the air conditioning had cooled the room I slept comfortably on the bed. The shower temperature in the morning was only moderately warm. Unlike in the picture advertising the place, the dock is actually separated by a barrier that prevents access to the full dock that is shown in the picture.
My stay would have been much better had the owners made sure that everything was in good repair, turned on the air before I arrived, and provided a set of clear instructions.
