Beautiful location with some drawbacks
As a family who values travel, we have stayed in a decent amount of short-term rentals throughout the United States and beyond (Ireland, Iceland, and now Germany). Though our rental in Börgerende included staying in a beautiful and modern home, within walking distance to a lovely Baltic Sea beach, access to a great trail leading all the way to the Warnemünde lighthouse, and a selection of toys and games that entertained our youngest daughter for hours, we felt it came with frustrations we have not experienced elsewhere. Communication with the host was slow, and included a shocking message—the day before we were due to arrive—informing us that we needed to contact a third party to arrange delivery of bedding and towels at an added fee of 100 euros (25 euros per person). Thankfully, the host did end up arranging the delivery of our bedding and towels so we did not have to contact the supplier, however we have never in all the places we have ever stayed come across a situation like this. The designated parking space requires one to parallel park in a tight space against an unforgiving wall. Lastly, one of the main reasons we choose to stay at short-term rentals is because we like staying in places that have kitchens so we can cook and avoid the hassle/cost of having to eat out for every meal. This place comes with a warning that if you do not clean the oven to their standards you will be charged an additional 100 euros, which made us nervous to use it at all.
