This was our first air bnb experience. Reviews are always subjective based on individual lifestyles and preferences. I rated this house a 4 for several reasons. The house was very clean inside and the communication with the owner was great. The proximity to the beach was very convenient as well.
I would not consider this a 5 star home when comparing it to 5 star hotels or previous rentals. The location is on a busy road and you can constantly hear passing cars. It should only be listed to sleep 8 because the 2 sofa sleepers are futons and not comfortable at all. The listing says shower gel, shampoo and conditioner are included but it is cheap hotel quality and definitely not enough for multiple uses so I suggest bringing your own. The towels were not as fresh and crisp as I would like and I’m happy I bought my own. We were very disappointed with the outdoor patio area and the pool. It took 2 days for the pool to heat up so we were unable to enjoy it. The outdoor furniture is not well maintained and it’s obvious the cushions stay out when it rains. The landscaping is unkept and does not create an inviting ambiance and we had to run off several cats. We like to spend most of our time outside when we’re on vacation and we were not happy with the outdoor space.
