Definitely not a VRBO property
We arrived late on a Friday night. We were exhausted and just went to bed. When we got up we noticed that the place was filthy.There was food on the walls in the kitchen, mold in the shower, the kitchen counters were filthy. Food had dripped into the drawer. There was a load of cloths in the washer that needed to be dried.Garbage bags were piled up on the side of the house and a pile of trash in the front of the house.The smoke detector had been removed the furniture in poor condition.The outside patio was filthy and the bbq's disgusting.The ad said you could use the garage but there was a large truck in the garage and you could only fit a small car next to it.Too bad we cant upload pictures because I took a lot of them.We left the place and went to another VRBO property and enjoyed our stay. Now we are fighting with VRBO and the owner to get a partial refund for the days that we did not use the property. We had to file a dispute with the credit card company.My advice, avoid this place like the plague.
