Showed up to he property and as stated it’s at the end of the parking lot in one of the older areas in the area. The pool is pretty uneventful a little run down and small, but we use a Hawaii place as a place to sleep and base ops…so it was fine.
When we walked into the house it was clean and orderly.
We walked into the room with the double beds and the mold smell was overwhelming.
As we walked in the rest of the house it was a little better.
We ended up sleeping in the loft with fans blowing fresh air from the windows and were able to do a few nights like that.
The problem we had was to keep the mold smell at bay we had to have all the windows open. Some of the screens don’t fit well and bugs get in the house…which is a bit inconvenient but it’s an adventure!
After three nights we couldn’t stay there anymore. The mold won and we had to find a new place to stay.
The property manager was great to work with and sympathetic to our situation.
I definitely wouldn’t recommend this to a friend.
I understand the difficulty of keeping a property up in the tropics and actually work throughout Asia spending 120-130 nights in hotels ranging from Seoul to Saigon. That’s part of the charm of a VRBO, I can cook with my wife and have a non hotel vacation. After 13 years of different VRBO properties I have to admit this was the worst one.
