Thank you for the comments. I will pass these on to the property owner since she provided the listing description. We don't expect our guests to wash and put away their dishes (you are on vacation!). We do ask a renter to load and start the dishwasher and remove trash to the outside bin...perhaps this is where the confusion came in. About the price, unsure where the $688/night came. Our AirBnB payout was significantly less. Many of our guests see the Avila Beach Gem a good value because of location, size (sleeps 8 guests), and onsite 2 car parking. I do appreciate your candid comments. We do implement many of our guest's suggestions keeping our vacation rental program dynamic.
