When I made our reservation 8 months ago, there was a hot tub listed. Also a propane grill outside. We planned for both. We were unhappy at having to go locally to buy overpriced charcoal and a lighter because the grill was NOT propane. And there was NO hot tub.
The house was quite warm after being closed up before our arrival, so we opened windows only to find that most were missing screens. And, those that had them had holes in them. There is no AC in this house, so we had to tolerate moths and flies in order to cool the house down.
The master bedroom is not on the main heating system for the house. It has a gas stove, that doesn't work. Thank goodness for the extra blankets that we brought with us.
When getting ready to cook breakfast the morning after our arrival, we found that the vent fan and light over the stove don't work. We had to open windows and use a standing fan to move the fumes from cooking bacon. One of the skillets in the cupboard has the coating flaking off so badly that I was tempted to throw it away.
The bottom rack of the dishwasher doesn't fit properly, so doesn't move as it should for pulling it out or pushing it in.
The chairs and couches are so broken down that I, at a very overweight 58 years old with a bad knee, found it easier to sit on the floor than to try to get out of them.
We paid a pet deposit to be able to take our dog and were warned about the possibility of paying for any damages. When we arrived, before my dog ever came in the house, I documented so many pet stains that the pet deposit should be refunded. We actually left the carpets cleaner than we found them.
The location close to the beach is nice, but people should be warned about the house two doors down that is loaded with junky vehicles filled with garbage.
Previous experiences with VRBO will have me reserving again, but not with the management company that takes care of this property.
