The home was nice for our extended family vacation with grandparents, adults, and children. The home is in a good location about 15 houses down from the beach access. The street before this one is for a campground. We appreciated that the kitchen was stocked well, linens and extra blankets were provided, and the washer and dryer were great.
There were some small issues like a burned area on the kitchen counter, wine cooler didn't stay cold, some broken toilet paper holders, the stove lights flickered (but it worked fine), for example. The house temperature was set at 72, but we were all literally sweating so we turned the AC temp down for the stay. I messaged the owner when we arrived to let him know of these issues. His response was unpleasant and he indicated that this was the first he heard about the issues, and it seemed as though we were being blamed, although we had just arrived.
We have a claim submitted with VRBO now because we received several very unpleasant messages from the owner after our visit. He charged us to replace a thermostat that was working fine when we left the home. I would understand if there was an issue and it needed servicing, but charging to replace the entire thermostat without showing a bill caused us to file a claim with VRBO. Hopefully, this will be resolved soon, as there was certainly no bad intentions or disregard for the home on our part, and I am happy to pay for any legitimate claims of damage.
Overall review is this is a nice place with a difficult owner.
