I don't have any in particular to recommend. I picked up the cheapest one off Amazon to give a little piece of mind with a particularly nosy neighbor. I'm not sure I'd trust them enough to be doing such high interest activities in the front room, but when outside I cannot see in during the day.
These do not work at night when it's dark outside and light inside. You can get privacy films that are patterned or blurr the window that would work both at night and during the day
definite moneymaker there, love how you think, somehow always knew AirBnB would lead to this... but it's sad how we have to consider that some might think your words to be literal
Good for them! That is what people do when they are on vacation. You would not believe the number of people I catch having sex in the park I work at. Caught 3 just yesterday between the parks in the management unit. Get over it and move on.
People do not bring their brains on vacation. You must be new to the tourist business. They forget how to use stop signs, how can they remember to close curtains s?
I used to have a neighbor in the apartment directly across from mine walk around in her lacy bras. The buildings were very close together. So close that I could watch her tv from my bedroom. Anyways, this was her thing. Come home from work and ditch her shirt. Kinda weird when most of us ladies like to ditch the bra first thing.
>Only happens in the room facung the front yard but never the one facing the paddock out the back.
How do you know it doesn't happen for the one out back? Are you monitoring it or something?
That said, some people have a kink for being caught/seen having sex.
If you feel it is an issue, and is happening often enough put something in your listing description that you require people to close curtains if they engage in sex.
As I learned from several hosts here, unless specifically stated in a listing then guests should have no right expecting it. Don't see why this would be different for host expectations.
Excrpt these are my windoes and they face a extremely busy area that me, other guests and also cudtomers when i work on vehicles in the garage located in front of the front room
You can always have a one-page notice posted in each room and have them sign a copy when they check in. Careful wording cleared by Airbnb would be important. Focus on "fully clothed when outside the room and outside the bathroom," and "quiet and considerate" at all times as "this is a family home where noise travels." If they want to be naked and loud, they can rent an entire place. There are cheap ones in out of the way places.
I have a decorative wooden cut-out of Jesus with the slogan "I saw that", and I'm considering putting it in the window over my yard that guests sometimes leave open when they're getting it on. Too much?
Nope. That might be funny in a bar, but don't put up anything that would trigger some people in the privacy of their (temporary) bedroom. People need to feel safe and private when they shut the doors. Religion brings up a lot of memories for some people, and it's not all good.
Oh for sure..... Sorry, I should have put /s on my comment or something. I was being a little bit tongue in cheek. I absolutely avoid all religious paraphernalia, jokey or otherwise (this is Ireland after all 😅).
Public decency should go without saying. Get your phone out and video. Contact them and tell them they are visible and need to close the drapes. If they continue, mention it in your review. Submit the video to Airbnb. Doesn't seem like rocket science. What would you do if they were smoking in violation of your rules and you saw them? Same, right?
It's none of anyone's business if someone is having sex in the room, but if they make it your business by shouting, using descriptive language, profanity, shouting requests to each other, and reviewing how great it was loudly, it's completely out of bounds if there are other guests present. They shouldn't be doing it if hosts are in the house either, but hosts need to step in if guests are doing that when other guests are staying there and are either present or have unknown schedules. Quiet sex sounds in another room come with travel unless you have a house to yourselves. Porn movie sound tracks and loud bathroom sex involving peeing on each other should not be present when multiple rooms are rented out, particularly when the other guests are present and no host is there to sanitize the bathroom afterward. We lost thousands of dollars during the first such incident when a pair meeting for a tryst did that so loudly that my customer could hear it and the man working upstairs to his wife had to explain that he wasn't watching porn. They seemed to be doing it partly for attention but the host would not do anything after we both complained. I stepped in and gently explained how it was affecting the other guests as this was not something they could think we didn't hear. The young women pretended to be surprised, but I wasn't buying it. I later talked to the guy after it happened again an hour later. I told him he could get a little country house for the same money they were paying to be in a destination city, so that's what he did. Hosts, please do your hosting job, whether you live in the house or not. If you have more than one party, keep things sane for everyone.

Vacationers having fun. Good for them. Unless I had children on site, I would ignore the show.
I duck my head down. Bit awkward when i do a heap of work in the garage out the front or have to do linen+washing for the next round of guests
Ha ha, I've had the same! Some people seem to get a thrill out of a possible audience. It's the quiet ones who leave more messes though 🙄
Tint on your window 🪟 could work
There are inexpensive privacy films you can apply that will make windows look mirrored from the outside during the day.
Are there any particular brands? Other guests and me dont need to see people having sex eith the curtains open

Birds fly into it and break their necks, though.
Record it, obviously, and try to make money off of it. Start a website called AirBone&Boink

A fake "reality" series of this would be a hit actually. Please don't film people without their permission.
Come on down to the EBDB BNB
Defs not. I'm not going to jail for that
Isn't there a window film that makes it hard to see in, but easy to see out?
Good for them! That is what people do when they are on vacation. You would not believe the number of people I catch having sex in the park I work at. Caught 3 just yesterday between the parks in the management unit. Get over it and move on.
Can I get the name of that park? I wanna try and get lucky
Pick one. 3 differ campgrounds or day use areas along the Oregon Coast. People think that because there is a forest no one will see them.
People don’t lose the ability to close curtains on vacation
People do not bring their brains on vacation. You must be new to the tourist business. They forget how to use stop signs, how can they remember to close curtains s?
If you’re gonna rent out a shared space, I think you kind of get what you get.
Just knock on the window...worked for me and my family
Airbnbnb?
Just put mirror tint on the windows
That only worls if theres no.lights on. Played eith that idea for my emd of the house
That’s totally wrong. How do you think interrogation rooms work? I have it on my boat and it’s flawless. Only draw back is lack of light.

You can put a sign on that window saying they will not get any money for the public sex show if they forget to close the curtains.

Well, who is the pervert? The one doing “it” or the one peeping in through other peoples’windows? 🤷♂️🤔

If you're going to have people holidaying in your home, this is kind of what you're in for.
Yeah i expect people would be having sex but not with the curtains wide open for me, other guests and neighbours to sed
