Dirty condo. Dishonest property manager. I was initially happy with the resolution Cindy gave to my…read moreissues with her dirty condo and didn't feel the need to leave her a bad review on Airbnb, but she decided to attack me, so here we are. My husband, friend and I rented Cindy's condo for 4 nights. My friend and I participated in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day, 60 mile Walk to End Breast Cancer and the condo was along the route. Perfect. Cindy texted me at 7:30AM the morning I was due to check-in to confirm I was still coming. Weird, but OK. I confirmed. She then asked if I was there for the breast cancer walk and when I said yes, she implied that I was lying (pic of txt attached). When we arrived, we found a simple condo with outdated furnishings. Fine. As we settled in and unpacked, we noticed a layer of dust on all the furniture, stains and splatters on the walls, cabinets, baseboards. Every dish and glass we went to use was dirty. The floor in shower in the primary bathroom was stained. Some pillows on the bed were stained and not only smelled moldy, but had visible mold on them.The floor was so dirty that our feet were black from walking in the condo. Gross. Cindy texted to ask how check-in was and I told her that the condo was in need of a deep clean. Everything was a little grimy/sticky. She apologized, saying that she had a broken foot and didn't inspect the condo before we arrived and offered to have someone come clean it. Between my husband cooking and taking care of us while we were walking 8 hours each day and our dogs being with us, I declined her offer to have someone spend 4 or 5 hours cleaning the place during our brief trip. My husband rewashed towels and blankets, dishes, and cleaned both the bathrooms again to ensure that my friend and I were in a clean comfortable environment. At the end of our stay, I texted some pictures Cindy to let her know that she really needs to talk to her cleaners and do much needed maintenance around the condo because after all the fees it costs $500/night to stay there and it is not worth it for the price. She apologized again and said she appreciated the feedback. She then issued a $500 refund. An amount that she decided was fair based on our experience at the condo, and that I appreciated, though I did not explicitly ask for money back. I thanked her and we continued on our way home. I decided not to leave an Airbnb review because I didn't want to lie and say it was clean and great when it wasn't, nor did I want to hurt her future business since she offered a reasonable solution to the issue and I accepted. There was nothing more to do. I come to find out that she left ME a horrible review on Airbnb and basically accused me of scamming her. She charges a $185 cleaning fee and then asks you to strip all the beds, collect the towels, do the dishes and take out the trash. Since we had to spend hours cleaning the place for it to be comfortable for our stay to begin with, we didn't follow the checkout procedures. Mind you, garbage was collected from around the house and placed in the bin, dishes were in the dishwasher or in the sink, dirty towels were in piles on the floor, so it isn't as though we left the house in complete chaos and mess. She claims we "trashed" the place. Enjoy the pictures of her nasty a** condo.

Not to mention the proximity to the beach-BLISS! It's the perfect jumping off point to visit all areas of San Diego.

Ocean Beach Park Units…read more Beautiful Location, Excellent Management -- But Long-Standing Safety and Maintenance Issues Need Addressing We've been coming to this unit at Ocean Beach for 5-6 years, and there is a lot we love about it. The view is fantastic, parking is secure, and the unit itself is spacious and consistently clean. Communication from the management company was excellent as always -- clear instructions on rules, security codes, and answers to questions before we even had to ask. That said, there are two issues we feel need to be raised, one inside the unit and one outside of it. Interior maintenance: None of the interior locks (bathrooms, bedrooms) function properly. This isn't new -- it's been an ongoing issue every time we've stayed here over the past several years. We understand things break, but a problem that persists for 5-6 years across multiple stays is a fixable maintenance item that shouldn't still be outstanding. Safety and enforcement in the surrounding area: This is the bigger concern, and the reason we're reconsidering how often we book here. Throughout our stay, we regularly encountered individuals in visible mental health crisis behaving in threatening or indecent ways near the building -- several instances of public indecent exposure, and unpredictable verbal outbursts directed at people who got within 40-60 yards. In addition, the public lot next to the building (between our building and the lifeguard station) has become a semi-permanent encampment of RVs and cars, with tents, BBQs, and debris that don't move for days at a time -- despite posted signage prohibiting parking from 2am-4am, which should give authorities the basis to enforce turnover. We regularly saw arguments, yelling, and thrown items from this same group. On our last morning, as we were checking out, five police cars and what appeared to be a sanitation crew arrived and began clearing the area. We had to leave before seeing the outcome, but the timing says it all: enforcement action came right as we were leaving, after being exposed to the underlying problem for our entire stay. This isn't a one-time thing -- it's a persistent condition of this stretch of Ocean Beach. It's had a real cost: we used to coordinate trips here with three other families, booking multiple units at once, and they've stopped coming because of what they were exposed to. We love this unit and we love Ocean Beach. But we're increasingly weighing what we're paying against what we're exposed to, and that comes down to a lack of consistent enforcement by the city and local businesses -- not anything within the unit or management company's control. If these two issues (locks, and the surrounding safety/enforcement situation) were addressed, this would easily be a 5-star stay every time.

I called them to tell you about this issue and you said you'd send someone over to fix it and then call me back with the results. This never happened. This was unacceptable frankly. This issue messed with our plans and experience every day. On new years day we had to go back at around 10pm to prepare for our early morning flight, but we could not get in. I tried calling you and Airbnb, but I didn't hear back from you and Airbnb didn't reach back out until 6am. While we were drenched in the rain, my girlfriend and I continued dozens of attempts to unlock the door. It took almost an hour. We finally got in by some random miracle. I'm requesting money because not being able to enter a unit is a critical issue that ruined my entire trip.

The cleaning crew had no access to cleaning supplies and Marty was unreachable. I felt sorry for the girl who works for her (I'm sure she has moved on...as many others have before her. )Vendors were astonished at the lack of communication. The only time you will hear from Marty is when she is trying to charge you for the same thing twice or "made up" charges then she just charges your credit card anyway. It wouldn't surprise me if she kept the credit card machine at her house..."charge at will". What a "shady character" is right. Kudos to the person that found out most of these reviews are done by friends of hers. You don't have to take my word for it spend the money to research her. If you get involved with her company be prepared to hire an attorney and fight for your integrity. I normally write positive reviews so it speaks loudly when I can't say enough about this unbelievably negative experience with her.
