It's taken over a month for me to leave a review, I was not going to but decided I would communicate our experience. As a long time VRBO traveler, this was one of the more disappointing experiences. PROS: Ok balcony view and was nice to be away from the town noise and traffic.
Beds were comfortable.
Cons:
• There were no kitchen towels whatsoever to wash and dry dishes. We had to drive back to the reality office to pick up necessary towels for the kitchen.
• After we got back from the 2nd trip to the Realty office, I noticed there were no hot pads for the kitchen.
• I would have expected would have supplied more than salad bowls and dinner plates, some saucers would have been helpful.
• The grill was a mess, it would not light without a lighter and some of the orifices are clogged.
• With a family of 5, we like to eat meals at one table. There is really, no dining table except the 3 seater crammed over by the window upstairs, it’s really intended more for two. Weather permitting, there is the table outside but only had 3 regular metal chairs, would have been helpful to have cushions to sit on; the plastic chairs were okay but one is badly broken and cannot be used.
• The outdoor furniture, cushions need to be replaced, weathered and ripped.
• The outdoor rug is so ripped up, it is a tripping hazard.
• There was also no umbrella for the outdoor dining table as the pictures in the VRBO listing showed.
• There was no hand soap in the kitchen
• The bars of soap for the bathrooms are tiny and would have been nice to at least have a couple left instead of just one.
As a VRBO traveler, you pay good money and should not have to work so hard to cover your tail. We have learned that once we arrive at a rental, that we check for obvious damage concerns so that we are not charged for someone else's damage/negligence. We found 10 issues with this property to include but not limited to: Microwave handle severely broken, the stove top under microwave light was totally out. Badly deteriorating wooden door jam and weather stripping in down stairs master bedroom. At the top of the stairs, two screws sticking up from the wood flooring, would catch someone's foot if they were barefoot. Damage to drywall corners. At the suggestion of the property office we communicated two emails on 8/3 regarding the damage, provided pictures and explained why we were disappointed in this property, included everything above. It's been radio silence, no response.
