I usually don't leave negative reviews but in this case of spending over $1000 for a one night's stay and not being able to stay due to the condition of the house, I had to. 4 females checking in. Initial communication was great. We arrived to find all the windows open, doors unlocked and open, things going in the dryer. We figured it was the cleaning crew, called the owner to tell him everything and he assured us that's what it was. Inside was VERY hot, muggy, damp and musty. Upon further inspection the place was extremely dirty. (we have pictures). It was 78 degrees on the main level where 2 bedrooms were and no AC. We were told to put box fans in the windows but that means leaving the place unsecured and that made us nervous. The kitchen and all the appliances were filthy; dirt on the floors; dusty; cobwebs on light fixtures; frig and freezer were nasty. We did not want to use anything. We went out to eat to see if the place would cool off. I tried to reach the owner again and left a voicemail. When we returned after dinner it was still 78 degrees (73 in the upstairs room that had AC). Two of us were feeling the effects of being in a musty, damp house and our heads were closed up and we knew we couldn't sleep there. We made the decision to leave. I texted the owner and reached out to VRBO. Case went to Health and Safety and after they spoke to the owner who denied things we got $95 back. Great potential but needs a lot of work to get it to look like the pictures.
