I do not get how this house or Allen has any good reviews. This was my child's high school spring break. As a mother of a large family this was my 9th VRBO rental ive used over the past 17 years, and by far my WORST experience ever. that includes the bed bugs we had in grand canyon. Five months before trip Allen asked if I wanted a six man golf cart, I said yes. when there was a $661 charge to my card I figured this was for the golf cart. When we arrived Allen said I didn't want the cart. I showed him the text from 5 months ago, he just kept blaming me and said the $661 was an extra VRBO charge. He offered to bring a four seater in two days. when he arrived with the cart he said the boys cant drive it and he got really anger saying that it was in the contract i signed, but i never got or signed anything yet. He maintained I did, but after scrolling on his phone for a while looking for the allusive contract he said couldn't retrieve the email because he was using his phone, he left with the golf cart. He later returned with a $50 gift card to local ice cream shop, at $11 a cone and 12 guests, thanks. He was trying to apologize but he continued to be an aggressor and blame everyone else and me. I cant imagine how he ever does this job successfully!
The house is run down & not well maintained. Back and front yard is very unkept, garbage in the bushes, neighbors hate that this house is a rental. kitchen floor is trashed, a kid cut his foot on the more than inch lift in the floor. oven doesn't cook accurate, not that there is NEARLY enough cooking supplies. No large pots or pans. two tiny cookie sheets, thank god i had my swiss, can opener didn't work. There was two tupperware only one with a lid. Trying to feed 11 teenage boys under these conditions made the point of having a house and not a hotel on the beach completely moot. no kitchen wash rags & ONE towel. Outdoor shower looks like something from a horror movie, it should be an embarrassment to even list this as an asset.! The mattresses are completely broke down, the sags can be seen before you have the unfortunate destiny of sleeping on them. In every other rental nonperishables like laundry soap, tin foil etc., that didn't get used, get left for the next renter. Someone clearly takes EVERYTHING. Yes I know, that none of that stuff is supplied. From my experience most of us like to pay it forward to fellow travelers , not supply Allen's personal residence. Skatepark way overrate
