Great:
PERFECT LOC- walk to beach, pier, local beer & bites, short drive to Mayo. Big windows, minimalist decor, cute kitch, beautiful, clean shower/bathroom/towels, comfy, clean bed, quiet OVERNIGHT.
Not so great:
Unit number to right of door doesn’t match number to left on mailbox. Confusing when tired from a 7hr drive but easy fix.
Entered to foul odor, floor, table & kitchen (glasses, fridge) not cleaned, sofa & throw blanket which was in closet REEKED (vomit, BO)-no way could a cleaner NOT smell that.
At 7:15am, 10’ +/- next door contractors started re-siding their house, yelling, smoking weed.
The host was friendly and responsive but said he accommodated me w/a 1 night stay, but there wasn’t a 2+ night stay min & this wasn’t a same day booking, so that didn’t make sense. Said he didn’t know about construction or that unit wasn’t cleaned. As a fellow host, I cut him slack. Maybe he doesn’t live nearby, no camera visible outside. But I CHECK when my cleaner comes & goes via an inexpensive security camera. I had to clean the table, hold nose, put towels on sofa to sit!
I travel to Jax once a month & would’ve considered staying here again (lovely place, perfect loc) had the host returned the cleaning fee or even offered to comp JUST the cleaning fee on my NEXT stay, but he made it sound like he did me a favor, said he made no $ on my stay! I’ve spent a lifetime in hospitality, so I can say that was unprofessional & a comp IS the right thing to do, the bare minimum.
