The pictures looked great—Manicured lawn, clean home, dock—but pictures can be deceiving. We were excited and looking forward to a getaway for the Labor Day weekend. We pulled up and the grass was knee high! So much for yard games! I went upstairs to go into the unit and the lockbox code didn’t work. I then had to call Luis to find out what was going on. He gave me a code that was incorrect and then gave me another code that worked. Went inside and put my suitcase down and noticed the dead bugs along the baseboards and then the dead roach in the tub. Took stock of the kitchen: 1/2 roll of paper towels, ONE spoon, some plates & cups in a dirty cabinets (spilled rice and spices), dirty fridge with an empty milk box, 2 vials of insulin with syringe. I called Luis back and made him aware of the insulin and he said he would contact the previous renter.
I then take stock of the bathroom: 3 towels for a place that sleeps 6 (and we did book for 6–although only 4 stayed on one night), 1/2 roll of toilet paper. No extra necessities, so bring your own! Although, to be fair, Luis did give me the code to the unit next door for TP & towels. No towels and one roll of TP. The WiFi is sketchy because the modem is in the next door unit BTW. The screen downstairs is still busted as other renters have stated, but I had hoped it would’ve been fixed. We cleaned the unit before leaving. With all of this and the inconveniences, I simply asked for the cleaning fee to be reimbursed. I’ve not heard from him since. Dollar General made a buck off of us, I tell ya.
The yard guy came out 2 days that we were there! Nothing like wet feet and grass clippings to really make for fun.
So…spend the extra $20-$50 a night to stay in a place that has the things that this house clearly did not. I do have pictures of anyone is interested.
Best of luck!!!
