We drove down from The Bay Area to spend a nice Christmas with our family. Our experience was less than ideal. The property had multiple issues listed below:
- interior did not look like the pictures
-The house had a very unpleasant odor, probably mold. Maybe because there is some kind of broken water main outside leaving puddles and water everywhere. I did contact the owner about the smell and they asked me to describe it.
-Windows were open in the home when we arrived( probably to try and get rid of the smell), so it was therefore freezing, and took a few hours to heat up.
- rack in dishwasher is broken
-washing machine broken, soap not clearing from soap tray, you have to use the pre-wash.
-blender broken
-dirty vents/taped up vents
- hooks for towels coming out of the wall.
- no corkscrew
-burned out and unmatching lightbulbs
- landscaping looks like nobody cares. leaves everywhere, puddles, rocks, planters with dying plants
- rooftop has one side with dumped garbage like old stools and wood, the other side has a table with big holes in it and filthy furniture
- the bunk bed is so wobbly my daughter couldn't sleep in it
- dusty everywhere.
- owner came unannounced to check his mail in the front yard, we thought it was an intruder.
- a leaf blower showed up ( end of our visit?) at 8:30 in the morning and woke people up wandering around the yard with it.
- saying there is parking is an understatement. One parking spot could possibly fit a smart car, and the other you have to parallel park in front of a garage.
- the house just feels like they don't care about it, or the people that rent it.
I have a TON of pictures . I have rented from VRBO for years, and have NEVER even given a bad review, so I'm not one of those people. We felt ripped off.
