NO HOT WATER

It didnt the entire weekend! I let the water run for 10 minutes and still wasnt hot or warm, it was COLD!!!!! NO Bikes, no complimentary basket as shown on site. Glad I brought my own stuff. Roach traps all over, I have pics. I am not satisfied at all. One guy had a fit because I parked in handicap and I was parked legally, I have a handicap placard in window.. I believe I need reimbursement of some sort or I am seeking attorney. I should of had HOT water!!! That bothered me the most! And the dead roach on the stairs. I have pictures and videos of all this mess. If it was summer the water might not have been too bad, but in April you need hot water!!!!! Please lmk if you have a solution for this mess of a trip.

Disgusting smelly deathtrap

This place was basically uninhabitable. There was mold on the walls, the bed linens were filthy and smelled of a combination of body odor and mildew, and it made us gag so much that we had to sleep on a single futon with some stinky throw pillows (which were also gross but slightly less gross than the bed itself). And the worst part as far as I’m concerned is that despite our many efforts to contact the owner multiple times via text, phone and through vrbo customer service themselves to try to work it out, no one from the property bothered to get back to us or vrbo. It is a great location and it cost a fortune. I also booked it based on 5 positive reviews I had seen, but I would encourage you to not book here. It was the worst vrbo experience we’ve ever had and the stench is something that haunts my nightmares. Stay away!

Sorry for the Inconvenience

Pros & cons. We are a family of 4 & where excited to experience a tiny house for our beach trip. Overall size was expected, layout was good LOCATION GREAT as well as sleeping 2 small kids on the futon & us on the bed. Small yet many issues together made us feel the host was not accommodating & didn't care about our overall experience. I asked to check in early bc we had a pet; since it is a tiny house & check out is 11 you would think the 4:00 check in could move up; no they said sorry for the inconvenience we have to do a deep cleaning. Ok no problem we thought, except to arrive and it be basic cleaned not smelling fresh for a turnover, there where ant traps on the counter and small ants, ant traps by some windows. The kitchen did not have paper towels or the cute toiletries it said it had in the listing. The 2 towels where gross, they were ragged with bleach stains + only 1 hand towel. thank goodness we brought more.Going up to the bedroom loft area is a wall AC unit. it had major damage on the wall and looked like mold was staring to build up.I immediately sent a note about the major damage and other scuffs in the home.. they said: Sorry for the inconvenience, we will fix it . Obvi with the kids it was concerning, but we knew we would be out all day only there to sleep at night. The wifi didn't Sorry for the inconvenience. Last I asked if we could checkout later bc of the dog; they said $50 for 2hrs, the inconveniences should have sufficed. Cleaning ppl at door 11:05.

More like Ocean City Shack!

Have used VRBO many times over the years and this was the most disappointing of them all. Definitely the most "misleading" in description and overall accommodations. First off, if you are taller then 5'9", have bad knees, or require showers more than luke warm....RUN! Don't WALK away...RUN! Pictures mislead the size and space of this shack. I believe that "Tiny Houses" are bigger than this place was! I'm 6 feet tall and not a giant by any means, but couldn't even bend over in the shower. Barely enough room to turn around in it. I couldn't even stand up straight at the toilet without hitting my head on the slanted ceiling! Turn the shower on HOT as far as the spicket would go and it never got above luke warm in temperature! I don't do cold showers! The bedroom was up stairs and the stairs themselvers were angled at least 60 degrees straight up, and steps were very small. Seriously...if you don't do stairs well this is NOT the place for you to stay. Sheets looked like they hadn't been replaced with clean and there were holes in them! NO JOKE! Temperature is controlled with 2 small Samsung AC box units that made quite the sound when they ran. If you are a light sleeper, NOT the place for you! Balcony was very small and you are sitting under no fewer then 20 POWER lines which made us very nervous and uncomfortable. Bottom line...really do your research before committing to this property.
