@Stephanie The new categories clearly weren't well thought out or beta tested. The current selection of Waterfront categories are too specific and exclude a significant portion of the waterfront listings.
If you have a home on the ocean, hopefully the Bots will figure out your category as Beach Front.
If you have a home on a Lake, hopefully the Bots will figure out your category as Lake Front.
But what if your home is neither Lakefront nor Beachfront? The bots don't acknowledge you.
This is why going with AI machines picking categories instead of letting the Hosts themselves pick their categories is a Really Stupid Idea.
In the middle of the map above, the one with NO search results, is a large body of water called the Pamlico River that feeds into the Pamlico Sound of North Carolina. Just below it is another large body of water; the Neuse River. But based on the AirBNB Bot categories, one would think there are no waterfront homes in this area because neither the Lakefront nor the Beach searches recognize RIVERS, SOUNDS or BAYS.
Yet when I switch to "All Homes", look how many WATERFRONT listings there are on the Pamlico River? There are many more than just the ones shown; they pop up as the map is moved.
There are another 2-3 dozen on the Neuse River which is just below Pamlico River...
Your "AI Machines" aka Bots, missed every single one of these waterfront homes.
This really needs to be addressed.
