Once we arrived and were setting in, washing our hands in the main bathroom and off the master bedroom, a strong foul sulfur odor resonated. We ran both hot and cold water thinking the drainage had not been used in a while. The odor intensified. Reached out to the owner who stated she would contact housekeeping. No contact from housekeeping. Attempting to shower was worse. Early Saturday morning my husband went and bought several boxes of baking soda and gallon of white vinegar. This didn’t elevate the smell. We opened the doors to help air out the rooms. We had dinner reservations Saturday evening, so needed to shower after day at the beach, the odors were so overwhelming we all had headaches throughout dinner. We continued to run the water when we returned trying to eliminate the smell. Late Sunday afternoon maintenance finally came, he turned on the faucets like we had already done & left, saying to turn off after about 30 minutes. He never checked the hot water heater or came back. Our son left earlier than planned because it was overwhelming.
There was mold underneath the bathroom sink, pipes apparently leaked. Several bowls in the kitchen had dried up salsa stuck to them.
This place has the potential to be charming, but needs attention going into peak rental season. A smell that strong tends to stay with you for quite some time. Sent pictures to the owner, hopefully a new cleaning company will do better. Disappointed as family time is limited and precious.
