Some good some very bad
Tone deaf would be my first comment.
The good:
The kitchen and bath remodels were very nice. The beds were very comfortable. It is a charming property. Probably built in the 1920's. We love old homes. The original door knobs and door hardware is great to see.
The disturbing:
Automated emails regarding contacting the owners when zero response occurs.
Most VRBO's have things like beach chairs, coolers, etc. But this place lists rental charges for a simple fold out beach chair? For $9.00 each? Really? Baby gear? A high chair for $15.00? Among many other listed things.
The back yard with propane grills and lawn furniture was absolutely filthy.
When they suggested I request 2 hours earlier check in for $15.00, I did so. But, they never responded.
When checking out, they asked that we do not leave a review, unless it was 5 star. Well the property and service was not 5 star.
I suggested that I would leave no review, but sent them an email suggesting how they could improve. No response except for another automated email asking for a 5 star review and how it would hurt them if I left anything different. Again, it was a 3 star at best.
My email to them went like this:
"I understand a 4 or 3 star review would hurt. I will not leave any review since we do not wish to cause you a problem.
I've owned rentals, long term, since 1980. However, even short term rentals are not all that different as it relates.... Now you shut my comments off? Okay
