Photo Shoot
Utilized this perfect property as a staging area for a photo shoot we were trying to compose for a new boat model. While the weather did not cooperate fully, the property was fabulous

I am writing to formally document several significant issues regarding our recent stay. While the host allowed an early check-in, the property was not in a habitable or accurately described state.Critical Utility Issues:No Water/Sanitation: A handyman was replacing the water heater upon arrival, but the cold water lines repeatedly cracked. He departed after 6:00 PM with the main water line turned off. We had no working toilets for 9 people and were forced to manually flush by pouring buckets of water into the basins.Continued Disruption: Repairs continued the following day, requiring the water to be shut off again, leaving us without facilities until we departed for the day at 1:00 PM.Misrepresentation of Amenities:Missing Hot Tub: The listing advertised a hot tub; none was present. Incomplete Kitchen: The advertised "second kitchen" lacked a refrigerator.Layout Non-Disclosure: The listing failed to mention that two bedrooms and a bathroom are only accessible by exiting the house and descending 19 outdoor stairs. With 4 children this was horrible. We would not have rented had this been in the description.Safety and Hygiene Concerns:Safety Hazards: The wood on the dock ladder was rotten/unstable. Outdoor electrical outlets were left uncovered. Outlet behind downstairs bed does not have a cover and has a water dripping mark. Outside stairs are broken and a tripping hazard.Kitchenware: Pots and pans were rustedI have photos of evidence for most things.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Mar 2026
I’m sorry you are having feelings about not being reimbursed for your stay. Many people try this avenue for free vacations. I was not compliant to threats of a bad review unless you received a free stay. This is unfortunately the world we live in now.
