Watch out for this host, because she will be watching you & your children on camera. She photographed our minor children and monitored our every move in & out of the property. At the time of reservation, she wanted to know where all the children were sleeping. We found it very uncomfortable she was so curious about where children were sleeping even though this house has 5 bedrooms & comfortably sleeps 10 (# of our guests).We never had a host inquire about where children are sleeping. Does she have cameras in the bedrooms and bathrooms, too? She violated our privacy, invaded our rest & relaxation time. There was nothing contactless about this property. When we landed, after my phone recharged, I had missed calls/ texts from her. I called her & she talked for 20min about the house, preventing us from starting our vacation. Later in week, she texted asking why the beach bikes are still in the driveway. We had biked home, unloaded, started dinner prep and she contacted us to put the bikes away. Then she texted me about why we removed the toddler trailer off the bike (which of course, we re-attached upon leaving). When the trailer detached from the bike, it gently rolled into the landscaping bushes. She said we “crashed” it into her hedges. She watched our every move. She threatened us saying her neighbors works for the Sheriff but there hasn’t been complaints “yet”. She said our behavior is unacceptable! She took pictures of our two 16 year old boys who took out their small trash bag and texted questioning what they were doing outside at night! She then argued with me saying that they were not taking out garbage. My husband watched them do it! Unfortunately, when we played pool, one of balls bounced off the billiard table and bumped the TV, which was set up inches from the pool table. Anyone who plays pool knows that balls sometimes do bounce off the table. There was a squiggly line within the picture, but no damage to the TV but we went to Best Buy and bought a new TV, same model to replace it. We called Birgit to tell her what happened and that we replaced the TV immediately. Also, there is 0 water pressure/ awful showers, no extra toilet paper, laundry/ no dish soap. She asked us to wash all the sheets, do the dishes before we leave, take out garbage (which we do anyway but never had a host ask). She has guests NOT proper housekeeping wash sheets which explains why the 1st night we noticed an odor, so we has to wash the sheets. Terrible!
