I don’t like to give bad reviews, but too many things went wrong with our stay to give this a good review. The host was very kind and flexible up front. However, once the stay began, we had several issues.
* Check-in instructions were outdated and contained multiple errors.
* The house was quite dirty when we arrived. One couch was covered in crumbs. We found a dirty plastic spoon on the ground. There was lots of debris on the floor. The kitchen table and counters were dusty when we wiped them off.
* MANY items were not as advertised. Most notably, there was no hot tub and no foosball table. It is unacceptable to list something as major as a hot tub that simply does not exist. There also were plenty of misleading items like 150 DVDs (more like 15) and golf equipment (none that we saw).
* The dishwasher did not work.
* When we contacted the host about some of these issues, they offered a discount at a future stay at one of their other properties off of VRBO. When asked about a refund instead, they again offered yet another discount at another property.
On the plus side, the house is spacious with lots of beds. The location is great and it’s a quick walk to a secluded beach that we had a great time at. I feel bad giving it a three star review, but I would want to know these things ahead of time as a fellow traveler. Ultimately, I removed one star for the cleanliness and another for the vast amount of misleading amenities.
