This is a beautiful property that has not been well-tended for seemingly some time.
A party we read about online who stayed in December complained about the dirtiness of the house, and the response from management online was a thank you and a promise to look into it/take care of it. This was clearly lip-service as it was terribly dirty and bug-ridden, with thick long-standing dirt when we arrived.
Dishes and kitchen drawers were filthy and needed a washing and wiping of all by us, the guests, before being used. Floors were dirty and paper, kleenexes, etc. were behind furniture. Bathrooms seemed newer (possibly more recently renovated since the last hurricane) and were better than the common areas. There was a musty smell in the house, especially downstairs and in one of the closets (water/mildew in walls since storm?). Fans were caked with dust and stoppers were missing from drains. The oven was the worst. A dryer door was busted. I could go on.
Cleaning fees and required liability waivers seem to have no meaning.
The property manager was fair and communicative in the second half of our stay and finally was able to help us ... unfortunately too little too late for Vacasa and VRBO.
All was very disappointing for a long-anticipated special reunion trip among old friends.
