Fortunately, the woman who was running the extremely disruptive Airbnb in our neighborhood moved away, much to the delight of everyone living in the vicinity.

Having seen and experienced first hand how much it sucks to live close to a poorly run Airbnb operation, I sincerely wish the deed restrictions violated would be strictly enforced and truly feel sorry for fellow Villagers that have the unfortunate luck of living close to one. That’s not what people signed up for when purchasing a home in a deed restricted community.
Maybe that’s why they moved. Sometimes letters, instead of legal action is worth the wait. But one will truly never know why they sold, but filing the complaint may have eventually helped. Most don’t like the conflict and pressure from neighbors, so they either stop the Issue, or just move.

We looked at a 5 bed here, that was Airbnb, (didn’t know it until the showing) agent told us they were selling because of the harassment from neighbors, to them and their drop in renter’s. So if that was our plan, we might want to think twice.
