• It is not beachfront. The beach is about a mile away and not a convenient walk.• The “kitchen” is not a kitchen. It’s a mini microwave, dorm-size refrigerator, and coffee maker on a shelf. You only discover this in the fine print—not the photos.• This is not a private apartment. It’s a basement in the owner’s home with no real privacy. The owners have access to the space and can enter without notice, which is especially concerning for solo travelers.• The host was difficult to communicate with. Rather than addressing our concerns professionally, he made jokes, minimized our concerns, and repeatedly read from his policy book in a condescending manner.The home and neighborhood are beautiful, clean, and appear safe. Unfortunately, the misleading listing, lack of privacy, and poor customer service outweighed those positives. We checked in, saw the property, left, and never returned.
