While it's a beautiful house there were several issues we had with the property. Holes in the bathroom where a medicine cabinet was removed and not replaced, only covered with a mirror that did not cover it , behind the sink, in same bathroom the drywall was cut out exposing insulation and pipe. Kitchen cupboards needed scrubbing which we did. Windowsills were dusty and has dead insects in bith the entry way and dining room. Which we also cleaned.
Lawn was over grown but the lawn guy showed up the next day. The porch needs repair. The railings for the stairs are very wobbly with some balusters completely rotted away at the bottom. There were lots of spider and cobwebs going from the bottom of windows to the porch which were full of debris, insects, and spider sacs. Several areas of rot on the porch and we had to be careful where we stepped out. The webs and debris were also around the entry way. If other reviews had aknowledged any of this, we would have chosen an alternative location. We shouldn't have to clean upon arriving at a rental. We took a lot of pictures to back this up.
The size was good for our party of eight. But it was hard to cook in the kitchen for that large of a group. There were plenty of dishes, but not enough pots, bakeware, or any mixing bowls. The owners were nice enough to supply a stand mixer for us when I asked if there was one.
This is the only time I've had a negative experience with any of my multiple VRBO rentals.
That being said I did not contact the owner with the cleanliness issues while we were there. I just cleaned it and dealt with it. We were in town visiting family and had a very full schedule, including meeting a new grandchild for my sister. So we chose to concentrate on that. Then I was traveling for 2 days after. I did contact the owner a few day later where I was told I was threatening her with a bad review. That I fabricated things, was rude to her lawn guy, and being worried about bugs, mice and bats from the multiple holes, including one in the ceiling of our bedroom, was basically a mental issue on our part. So good luck.
The owner did NOT ask to see the pics.
