Creator's Key Takeaways

after trying an Airbnb for my first time ever this past summer before a cruise I'm wondering if it might be time to start looking at airbnbs as an alternative option for our family's pre-Cruise accommodations

I ended up saving a good amount of money and the property we stayed at was amazing and included a private pool with the back patio on a canal a pool table 65 in TV full kitchen multiple bedrooms

bottom line is that before arriving you will basically know exactly what your Airbnb will have to offer

if you're the person that trashes hotel rooms you may want to think twice about an Airbnb

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Inspect the property upon arrival to ensure no previous damages
✓Contact the host during your stay with any questions
✓Clean up after yourself to avoid bad reviews or extra charges
