When we booked we expect a “private and secluded” space just as the property was listed, but what we didn’t know is that when we showed up the owners were also staying at the house upstairs. They did not include that into the description just as they did not tell us that there is a curfew that suits their needs instead of the guests staying there.
We had a group of 8 people that came and stayed, and they knew we would be going out and coming back late and they were even told on the phone that we might be a little loud, (like I mentioned above, they did not list they would be staying there with us) but we would try not to be too loud seeing that they were home. The homeowner, Jason, even said “That is perfectly fine, we understand.” So there was an agreement to that. However, when we returned at 2am, on a FRIDAY night, we had music playing on a speaker that they provided. Instead of contacting us via text, phone call, or email, they took it upon themselves to come downstairs through a connecting door from their house WITHOUT KNOCKING!! They invaded privacy, they threatened to call the cops to have us removed, and they blatantly disrespected our group to our face.
Seeing how we were on their property, we had no choice but to cut the music off and get everyone to sleep because they wanted to go exercise in the morning? Mind you, they didn’t have work, no doctor’s appointment, no business meeting, so I don’t find what they did was valid at all, especially since we had to pay $300 for a night there.
So in the morning, with a calm and collected head, my boyfriend called the homeowner, Jason, to talk to him about how he felt that what they did was wrong and super disrespectful. Instead of being able to talk and find and understanding, his wife grabs the phone out of his hand and tries to tell us that we were “throwing a party”. In the listing it clearly says it sleeps twelve, and we had 8 people there (less by the time the night was over because of how uncomfortable we were with the situation and the invasion of privacy). But in the woman’s.. stubborn mind she believes that music playing (Justin Bieber) above the volume of 13 is a party. She then continues by telling us that she wanted us out of her house (it was around 9am) right then, even though in the agreements it says checkout is 11. Regardless, we complied and got our belongings together and left.
All in all, the homeowners were super disrespectful and invaded our space. Do NOT stay here.
