Be sure to know this is a hotel type room!
Cons:

The property wasn't able to accommodate our family. I did my due diligence on the room by calling ahead of time to verify that there was a separate bedroom as it is listed as a 1 bedroom. It is not! It is a studio and although it says it will sleep 4 there must be 2 couples and not a family with 2 teenagers. This was more of a hotel with a kitchenette. Asked for a refund as our family wasn't able to stay at the property, nor could they switch us to an accommodating room. They would not!! Beware and the people on the phone have no clue about the property you are visiting.

Location is perfect but the whole place could use some additional TLC.
Pros:

Location is great.

Cons:

Hair dryer didn’t work we requested another one but no one dropped one off. Lack of outlets for phone chargers. No bath mat even though there was a note to use the brown towel not a white towel. Door hits the floor and was hard to open. Same was true for the bathroom door. Beds were comfy but no other comfortable place to sit. Lighting was poor.

Pros:

The location and other owners.

Cons:

The owner stole 150.00 of the deposit and gave her and canceled the reservation saying booking.com canceled it not her. She waited until Sept 6th to cancel the reservation and I was ready checked in. She said she is keeping my deposit for the cleaning fees when the cleaning fee is already added in the reservation. She stated to booking.com that she misunderstood the policy of refunding my deposit which its been over 2months and I still haven't received my deposit!

Pros:

The area was very nice.

Cons:

Annoyed there was not enough lighting. We could not find any extra blankets. The hot water never got hot. Did not like sending a copy of my credit card. There’s no staff on site.. There’s no clear directions on how to get into the building. They could do better at cleaning maybe a professional cleaner once in a while.

Communication with the owner was extremely poor — messages went unanswered for hours, and I waited o
Pros:

I liked the area the oceanside restauant that I could run over and use thier bathroom with no questions asked

Cons:

I wanted to provide a detailed account of my stay in Room 404 and the issues I encountered.
Before check-in, I sent all required documents to you several hours in advance. Despite this, I waited over an hour to receive the room number and access code. Throughout that time, there was no response through the booking app or by any other means of contact.
When I finally entered the room, I only had time for a quick look before heading to a 6 PM meeting. At first glance, it appeared acceptable, though I did notice a faint mildew smell. I assumed it might be from the A/C unit on the balcony since the balcony door had been left open.
When I returned later that evening around 8 PM, I realized there were no basic supplies—not even a single roll of toilet paper. The TV did not work, and there was no mattress protector on the bed. The bedding appeared to be of poor quality, clearly not hotel-grade.
I fell asleep, but around 1 AM I woke up with a headache and a closed throat due to the strong smell of mold and mildew. I had to sit outside for relief. When I re-entered, I went to shower, thinking perhaps I was reacting to pollen or something similar. At that point, I noticed several serious cleanliness issues:
Feces on the side of the toilet
Pubic hair and hair balls in and around the shower area
Dust and bugs in the A/C unit
It was extremely unhygienic and unacceptable. I immediately took photos and sent them to you the next morning. Because of these conditions, I left the property at 2 AM and checked into a Marriott in the next town.
In total, I was only in the unit for about four hours, and never used the kitchen or the shower. I even had to use the restroom at a nearby restaurant because there were no paper products available.
Although you later offered an alternate room, your reply came several hours after I had already left and secured other accommodations.

I was hoping for the best but experience has taught me better.
Pros:

The view.

Cons:

Room . First room was seriously outdated and smelled of mold . When I called manager they put me in another room with smaller bed and no discount I'm 6'8 so a Full size bed was a nightmare. Bedsheets were the worst had to go to next town over to purchase sheets that didn't itch. Toilet paper dispenser was hanging off wall ... wire mould for TV receptacle was hanging off wall used band-aids in cabinet etc...
