Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

Workers went above and beyond , but the host/ owner or VRBO should refund our money !

The property wasn’t the one in the advertisement…. It was advertised as “the Gyp-Sea” but it was actually “the last Hoorah! It was not very clean , the toilet was broken, there was things stored in the bathroom and also in the shower , so we were unable to even go in either! The loud generator on the boat was almost out of gas. The 4 workers that took 2 trips to get us on the boat were the only good thing about this . They went above and beyond, with what they had to work with ! We left and had to pay for a motel nearby ! On our anniversary….. The owner should be ashamed not to return our money.
