2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
We chose to take a spontaneous trip to relax with friends, who arrived in a camper van, while we booked a VRBO accommodation. Due to its secluded location and limited nighttime lighting, we arrived late at 10pm. After locating the property, we unpacked and retired around midnight. The next morning, we rose at 5am to prepare for sunrise photography. The property listing explicitly prohibited smoking within the building and shared deck areas but did not address private balconies. We were subsequently harassed for smoking on our private balcony and inviting friends from a nearby camp to join us for lunch and picture taking before we all head out togather. Smoking occurred outdoors, not within shared spaces. We were falsely reported to property management for exceeding the five-person overnight limit. In reality, our friends visited briefly for lunch and photography. Management demanded our departure, citing smoking, overcrowding, and excessive noise. It's interesting to note that other families with children were present, generating considerable noise, yet our unit was singled out as problematic, raising concerns about potential bias because we were a group of Asian Americans. I love the scenic view there but I would not recommend this property for someone of color. We didn't not feel welcome by the property owner. Although the host was able to refund us the second night. Our supposedly relaxing getaway turned into a stressful and nightmarish experience of hate.
