Pretty disappointing overall with this rental, for a bunch of reasons:
1. The carpet in the house was absolutely disgusting. Every spot in every room was covered in various colored stains. The cleaning crew may have done a good job vacuuming it, or maybe not- you'd never be able to tell. The carpet probably should have been replaced a decade ago.
2. Lots of bugs. I killed 2-3 cockroaches each day I was there.
3. The paint was peeling off the walls and ceiling in every room. Lots of water stains. I know they had bad storms recently so this may be recent damage. However, they shouldnt be offering the house for rental if they know it needs repairs.
4. Im sure the owner will respond to this review and say "you should have contacted us if you had an issue". However, the rental agency was impossible to contact. We DID try calling at least 6 times and the call went straight to hold every time. A few times we waited as long as 30 minutes and never got through. All calls were during their business hours.
5. They changed the check-in/ check-out times after I booked the rental, blaming "need more cleaning time due to COVID". However, COVID has been around for 6 months now, so theyve had plenty of time to update the listing on VRBO rather than pulling a bait-and-switch after they have my money.
Pluses were: the appliances, sinks, toilets, showers were in good clean condition. The place was in a good location on the island. The deck and porch were in good shape.
