Our experience at this property was the worst with any VRBO we’ve ever used. First, our check in was at 4pm and the property was not ready until almost 6pm, I had younger children who had to wait outside the home until the maid service let us in. Once we entered the property it reeked of fish, I’m not sure if it was the previous guests who might have had fresh fish or the water used to mop the home but it lasted about 2-3 days. The house itself needs a lot of TLC it was dirty all around, the couches were very stained, the walls are stained, the upstairs guest shower does not have enough water pressure as it barley comes out of the shower head, and the downstairs bedroom does not have AC (the only room that doesn’t) which makes it very warm. The property did not have very many kitchen necessities, for example, no cups, no dish soap, no basic condiments, etc. The pillows for the rooms were pretty nasty, they were old and stained, the TV only worked half of the time, the WiFi wasn’t very good, and the upstairs sliding door did not lock. In addition, there was no clear directions for the check in process, I reached out asking if there was a door lock code or something to get in, the property managers simply said to check in at Encanto Living but the building where you pick up the key is called “
Kiyova we drove around looking for Encanto Living and it took us a while to find the correct building. This was the first VRBO that I used that did not provide clear instructions or an accurate address, I had to ask the day of for all this information. The property is pretty deep into the area, plan for at least a 15 minute drive to simply get out to the main road and another 30 minutes to get into town for restaurants, gas, etc. Upon checkout I asked if there was anything they could do for the late check in and inconveniences but they couldn’t do anything. Overall, the dirtiness of the home, lack of supplies & directions, late check in, and everything else, I would not recommend this property to anyone with a family or for those who want to explore the town. The only positive is that you are right on the beach.
