READ BEFORE YOU BOOK.
THIS IS MY VERY FIRST 1 STAR AIRBNB REVIEW as I try to give hosts the benefit of the doubt. But this listing is HIGHLY misleading and the way I was treated was inexcusable.
FIRST OFF, this is NOT an “entire house” listing, I was told the day of my arrival that the owners would periodically be coming to the house to the backyard to possibly get their boat or such. I heavily respect my privacy and this made me very uncomfortable...especially when they came THREE separate times during our 4 day trip all of which was when my girlfriend was there by herself. One day she said FIVE guys came to the backyard where the pool is and everything while she was taking a shower with the window right there. This irritated the hell out of me as I heavily value my privacy and there is no warning of this on the listing. In addition, we were told we can’t park in the wrap around driveway because that’s where the owners like to park. Ridiculous
SECOND, the owner made us leave at 9am in the morning for 2 hours so he could trick his insurance company in to thinking he wasn’t renting out the house. The morning of I said that my business plans had changed for the morning and would really like to sleep in, he wouldn’t allow it and we had to leave...during a stay we were paying for
THIRD, we were told 5 MINUTES BEFORE ARRIVAL that there was a huge pipe burst 3 days ago and that there was a bunch of construction in the back because of it, ultimately ruining the view from the bedroom and view of thee entire back itself.
FOURTH, the following was broken when we got there: pool light, living room lights, living room fan, bedroom tv’s stereo and more, some of which they fixed while others (like the pool light) they did not
FIFTH, I like a seamless experience like most people. However, during our little 4 day stay there were over FIFTY texts between me, the owner, and his assistant. Long texts all day long , 4 days straight of communications all of which I did not want to do. But due to them constantly showing up at the house, and many things being broken, and them making us leave, we were bothered by them non stop while we were supposed to be having fun while working.
I have stayed in over 30 Airbnbs in my lifetime. This is, by FAR the absolute worst, most misleading experience I have ever had on this system and I strongly advise all who view this to GET A DIFFERENT AIRBNB or I promise you will be disappointed.
