Terrible host; the property is in disrepair; not as pictured; do not stay here.We were greeted by a broken front gate, and a dangerous step up to the door that has rotted through with a carpet thrown over it. The house sits on a busy highway with heavy traffic through the night. Not the peaceful cottage you're looking for. The owner did not send welcome instructions, and was mostly unreachable. If you look at the real estate listing from Dec 2024, this was a lovely house. The current owners have completely let it go. Heartbreaking. It does not look like the VRBO photos. You can see from my photos: they don't bother to maintain the lawn or property. They use the back yard as a junk heap for broken furniture and derelict boats. The path down to the creek has completely grown in. The gutters have not been cleaned, the back deck was unusable because of all of the debris. The dining room floor is sinking. The listing mentioned an oven and a BBQ. The oven did not work, and the BBQ did not have a propane tank, which I had to purchase. We rented this house to host family for supper, and had to order in instead. Contacted VRBO who reached the owner on day 2. They did not fix any of the issues. I was offered a 150 refund by the owner; after I checked out, the owner argued she had only offered 50 (150 was in our messages!) She then ignored all communication. No refund. My kudos to the cleaner who is doing the best she can with the inside of the house.
