This is my first time renting a vacation home via VRBO, and if this property is reflective of the quality of product that is regularly listed, it will be my last. This house is unfinished in many places with obvious ongoing renovations, creating many safety and quality-of-stay issues. There was a general lack of cleanliness and attention to detail throughout the house and property. The layout is unique and can certainly work well with couples and/or families traveling together. This is where the positive ends.
Listed below are bullet points of issues we encountered. These are by far not all encompassing but we are limited to a certain number of characters for review purposes. I can elaborate and provide pictures to any interested parties.
• General uncleanliness indoors & outdoors – furnishing, rugs, windows
• Broken/damaged/non-working, outdoor furnishings, door handles, window cranks, patio screen doors, screens, outlets in multiple bed/bathrooms, bathroom/shower fixtures, lighting
• Ongoing renovations creating safety hazards and unfinished/uninhabitable situation
• Nauseating, continuous odor/visible signs of possible animal decomposing in ceiling of laundry area
• Rat feces, traps, and damage from rats present indoors & outdoors
• No toaster, paper towels, or Kleenex available
• No digital or written instructions on heating/cooling/exterior lighting
This property has comfortable bedding and amazing views but beyond that, should be deemed unrentable.
