Dirty bedding and other bed issues

Unfortunately we had a bad experience at this property. Just before going to bed at 11:30pm, we discovered the master bedding was covered in stains. The comforter had a large brown stain, the mattress cover had a large stain that looked like black mold, and the sheets had numerous splotchy stains that looked like bodily fluids. I had to go to the store at midnight to buy all new bedding so we could sleep a couple hours on clean bedding. After such a bad experience I wanted to checkout early because I was no longer comfortable with cleanliness of the property considering such obvious cleanliness and hygiene issues were overlooked. Unfortunately the property owner and VRBO didn’t allow me to check out early with a refund for the unused remaining nights of our stay. Also, the bunk bed is extremely squeaky. Even the slightest movement while sleeping on the bunk bed causes a loud squeezing that wakes up people in both rooms.

About the host

Hosted by Shawn Mullins

My wife and I have 3 beautiful ginger daughters that are very active in sports and we are both working professionals. We have a passion for vacation rentals and love to show off our amazing little beach town! Our home is the perfect spot for 2 couples or a family of 5 to use as a base camp to explore all the beaches, breweries, wineries, hiking trails and beautiful downtown riverwalk! Please don't hesitate to message me day or night with any questions you may have. We truly feel like our home is the perfect spot to make lifelong memories with your family and loved ones.

Why they chose this property

PERFECT LOCATION!!!!!! We are literally a 2 minute drive to 5th Ave beach or downtown Manistee! If you'd rather walk its about 10 minutes to either one. Manistee is centrally located between all that northern Michigan has to offer!
