We read some of the reviews, liked the location so we reached out to the host about the issues other renters had. We know that some people are picky and give bad reviews if everything is not perfect. The host assured us that everything was fixed, they lied.
House smelled when we walked in, we bought candles. House wasn’t the cleanest place I had ever rented; I thought the coffee table had a scratch and ran my hand over it and food came off.... 7 people staying in house, Host had 4 towels available for showers, there were some beach towels that we could use.... Kitchen faucet is still broken, Corn hole was warped and unusable, it was great having a putting green to look at, no balls, no putters, I didn’t see in the description that we needed to bring our own, wait..there was a putter head on the putting green, head did not have a shaft. I own a pool table, their cues tips were horrible, hard, or almost non-existent, chalk was worn out, almost unusable.
Master bath bottom drawer kept opening on its own (hit my foot on it). Toilet seats were the cheapest plastic seats you could buy, not very secure, if you moved, they slipped off the side of the bowl. We came down for Christmas, had to purchase measuring cups and a meat thermometer, and had 2 measuring spoons we made do with. Knives had rust spots, had to re-wash some of the silverware to use it. They have a BBQ listed but BBQ had no propane tank, we had planned on cooking our Christmas dinner on the BBQ... No extra blankets. beds were uncomfortable and squeaked every time you moved. The dining room chairs were uncomfortable and very worn, you could feel the frame under the cushion when you sat down. Kitchen bar stools were unusable, cushions were pushed through the frame, so you sat on the frame and vinyl cover. Outside patio furniture was threadbare and frayed. I am sure I have missed a couple items but basically, we had to laugh at how bad it actually was. If we weren’t planning on cooking Christmas dinner and hadn't already gone food shopping before we checked-in we may have moved to a hotel. We couldn’t believe it this acceptable to VRBO, we paid a lot of money to stay there, and I was very disappointed. This property should be taken off VRBO and we should be refunded at least part of our money. This house puts the VRBO system in question, do they actually vet their rental properties?
