Anonymous Review from Airbnb

June 2026

We booked The Blind Melon Airbnb expecting a clean, safe, and comfortable place to stay based on the nightly rate and listing. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. During our stay, we encountered serious cleanliness and safety concerns, including rats, cockroaches, an unclean pool, and delayed responses to our concerns. The pest activity was not limited to one isolated incident, and the presence of rats and cockroaches in areas where guests eat, sleep, and store belongings made the property feel unsafe and unsanitary. Once we realized the severity of the issue, we had to leave the property, find alternative lodging, and spend part of our vacation inspecting our belongings to make sure we did not bring pests with us. We attempted to resolve the matter directly before posting a review, but based on our experience, we cannot recommend this property. Guests deserve accommodations that are clean, habitable, and responsive to serious health and safety concerns.

You can’t get any better than swimming in a heated pool, looking at the gulf and nothing but sand between you. Walking from the house to the beach was easy. The elevator was a wonderful addition for all the floors. Very hassle free. They thought of everything while building this place for large families.

Unfortunately, we got a call on the morning of our check in that the house had been struck by lightning. So the elevator was out, the TVs were out, the Wi-Fi was out. But Ryan and the maintenance people were fantastic. They did everything in their power to make sure everything was up and running, unfortunately parts needed to be ordered for the elevator, but they bought new tvs, new routers, cable boxes. They were in and out constantly for the first couple of days and we really appreciated their effort. Everybody was very friendly and professional. The customer service was excellent. The house was nice, the pool was great we really enjoyed our stay.
