Normally I would give an Airbnb like this an easy 5 star rating. Dee was prompt with responses and even let us check in early since we had an early flight in. Location was amazing- literally a block from the beach. And despite a small parking lot, parking was never an issue . However, upon our stay we came across a pretty large cockroach inside the Airbnb. When I messaged Dee a photo of it she was unfazed, with a casual response of “it’s dead. I do pest control every month. This is Florida”. It was very much alive, and as if ‘Florida’ is an excuse for having cockroach’s in a home. I’ve been to Florida multiple times in various areas- Tampa, Fort Meyers, Orlando, Sanibel Island- all in other Airbnb’s, timeshares, and hotels. Never had a cockroach problem. Her next response was to “just step on it” as if I’m not totally disgusted by it. Not to mention NO APOLOGY, or concern for that matter, for the inconvenience of finding a live roach. She never checked back in with us after to see how things were either. Airbnb, just like hotels, is a hospitality industry. Let me tell you at the moment not only was I grossed out but I didn’t feel cared for by the host. No apology, no offer for any type of credit, or offer to have her pest control company come out and do a quick sweep during our stay. We found this on our second day of a six day stay. Who’s to say there aren’t more under the bed, in the closet, or behind the stove? One could have crawled in the lining of our suitcases for all we know. Had Dee maybe showed a tad more concern I wouldn’t be so put off by my experience there... It’s a decent place, but don’t be surprised if you make new ‘friends’ during your stay.
