I reached out to the owner twice via the VRBO app before our trip, but never got a reply. But when I texted her, she replied almost immediately. When arriving at the condo, the keyless entry keypad did not work. After an hour of troubleshooting over the phone with the owner, we changed the batteries and it worked fine. The condo had not yet been cleaned due to a weather related accident so we left for the evening to do some fun stuff in town. When we returned at almost 10:00, we could tell someone had been there, but it was far from clean. The dishwasher was full of dishes, the dryer was full of wet towels, the toilets had not been cleaned, there were used bars of soap in one of the bathrooms, there was a pair of underwear in the laundry area floor, there was a wet dish rag hanging on the sink, the sheets on the bed in the back bedroom were very wrinkled and had hairs on them - they had not been washed. On top of the cleaning issues, there were no paper towels, extra toilet paper, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, shampoo/conditioner, or trash bags. And the coffee maker had used coffee grounds with mold growing. I sent a text to the owner, along with some pictures and she offered to have another cleaner come back the next day. They did come the next day and cleaned the toilets bowls, emptied the dishwasher, cleaned the coffee maker and left a few empty trash bags for us. We had already washed all the towels and sheets. But they did not remove the used soap from the shower, empty the trash in the laundry area, dispose of the underwear left in the laundry area or leave any shampoo/conditioner, laundry or dishwasher soap. There were also a few light bulbs that were burned out. I mentioned those to the owner too, but they did not get replaced.
This condo only sleeps 6 if you sleep 3 in each bed or if you bring your own air mattress.
The view from the balconies of the condo was beautiful and the location was great! But I don’t think the price we paid, along with the cleaning fee was worth the time we spent on the non-working keypad and the time we spent doing laundry and sanitizing things. I think a hotel might be a better option in the future. At least they provide basic toiletries and clean linens.
