Airbnb guests: MAKE SURE TO RECORD A BEFORE AND AFTER WALK-THROUGH OF YOUR STAY (with ANY Airbnb) – This host tried to blame me for several things that were broken after we left that were simply not true.
The photos on this listing are a bit deceiving than how the property actually looks in person. My husband and I did a walk-through of the property before the rest of my family arrived (this is pretty routine for us as we like to double-sanitize the doorknobs, nightstands, etc.)
We were a bit disappointed but at the end of the day, there weren’t many options since we were practically committed.
The pro of this property is that it is indeed spacious for a big family. One of the bathrooms closest to the front looked like it was just remodeled so that was nice.
The areas of improvement we noted were:
- Closet in the first room closest to the front of the house was completely taken out. My husband was able to lift the entire door and put it back on it’s track to at least function.
- There was a huge random screen door in the dining room area
- Pool was full of leaves and 2 red solo cups (we understand there was recently a tropical storm but they didn’t have any arrangements to come clean the pool until I complained?)
- The fridge in the bar area was broken
- The patio furniture was completely torn and beat up from the sun (unsuitable to sit on) – the inside of the cushions were spilling out of it…it looked pretty bad and I was embarrassed to take photos outside
- 2 chairs on the outside patio table were broken
- One of the toilets was clogged when we arrived so we all had to use 1 toilet
- The sign outside was just randomly laying on the floor
- The bar table outside was missing 2 bar stools
- Pool cleaning stick was broken and in pieces in the backyard.
I understand that things don’t need to be perfect, but if we're getting charged nearly $3,000 to stay here, I expected this property to look a little bit more how the pictures were listed.
This place has a lot of wonderful potential and I think it just needs 1-2 days to refresh the items that are just completely unacceptable. There should also be someone quality checking these items to at least give the guests a heads up if there's aren't quite up to par.
