This was my first experience with AirBNB. I generally use VRBO. The communication was easy and timely and the process to request and secure the unit was easy. A few things I found less than pleasurable.
1) I may have overlooked this however I don't recall seeing anything about pet fees until I submitted my own payment. I had to a flat fee and a per day fee, which felt excessive. I would suggest charging a daily fee and then a separate flat fee that is a security deposit which is returned if no damage.
2) Its a LONG 2 1/2 block walk to the beach if you are carrying chairs, umbrella and small cooler.
3) The property had NO wash clothes.
4) The tub repairs and current state makes the rental until look like a cheap motel.
5) I was unable to fully close the blinds in the bedroom with the closet therefore no privacy to change my clothes or sleep at night without the feeling of being watched.
6) The mattresses and the living room furniture are not comfortable. They are very stiff and I was unable to sleep the nights I was there. On a rainy day, I stayed in to watch football and it was not a comfortable experience.
