(First lemmy post so bear with me)

This is the most entertaining listing I’ve ever seen and I cannot get over the drinking water situation. Like am I reading this right? From the listing: “ *Please note, the water is not potable and should not be drank or consumed.” and bird’s response about bottles water. lol yeah sign me up!

    So it’s not on Airbnb… so there’s no reviews she can’t delete… got it.

    “Picture this: your own private beachfront paradise, where t he sun kisses your skin and the gentle waves serenade you r soul” was this written by AI?! Whats with the word breaks, mid-word??

    I do feel like the water situation is pretty normal, any cottage I’ve been to it’s a showering & brushing your teeth is ok but don’t drink it situation. But she could at least provide a water cooler like damn, it wouldn’t be much to have one and some spare jugs around.

      Agree! I’m not originally from Ontario so I don’t have much cottage experience but if it wasn’t drinkable, I’d definitely expect an accommodation like a cooler so I don’t have to worry about supplying drinking water for all of my guests.

    Oh boy, she must really believe in her product to not want any information about it to be public on AirBnB. I’m sure that’s what took so long; she had to hire someone to build an entire website for her so no one could leave reviews or see how often it’s booked.

    There isn’t a bbq! That would be a dealbreaker for me

      So you can burn down the joint with an open fire but can’t have a BBQ 🤔 😂

      No bbq is just cheap. Especially at that nightly cost to stsy. But considering they’re not even providing water, I guess it’s not a surprise.

    This heat wave should really crank up the algae blooms big time. I’m also assuming they must be on a well and they haven’t checked the water yet? Sheesh, amateurs (at life).

      I don’t believe they haven’t tested the water. I think it failed the test. Why not install a cooler system with water delivery? I wouldn’t want to schlep my drinking water when I’m paying $650/night

      I’m on TT getting hot tub warnings all of a sudden 🤣. When the guests are done swimming in the algae lake they can take their chances in the hot tub.

    I’m always fascinated people defend her like she’s their friend and the fan-girling is disturbing

      This is what bothers me more and more. She knows people will defend her. This is what she cultivates and manipulates with her big Disney princess eyes, her health scares, and how brave she is…its so calculated and gross.

        This is what bothers me the most too because these people are just her marks in the con game. They defend her and spend all their money on the crap she’s selling.

      The lack of proof reading on anything she does amazes me. However, I should note I am a melting ice cream cone and I take pride in my work, unlike Birdie who does the least possible.

    Apologies. I made a post too. I didn’t see this. Look at the website! It’s so poorly designed. The words split mid-word

      Testing as a precaution? WTF? Well water has to be regularly tested

        On IG, she said its server issues because of all the web traffic to her site haha. No, it’s probably just a broken link 🤦🏻‍♀️.

        Trying to trick us into thinking her algae cottage is breaking the internet is the laugh I needed today.
