Visiting Family
Our stay here was a mixed experience. The positives:
•Beautifully remodeled. Photos are accurate
*Fabulous proximity to beach, easy walk
The negatives:
*Property was advertised as having a hot tub, a deciding factor when we booked. There is no hot tub (listing has been updated).
*Booked for 9 people. Confirmation email read “Maximum overnight guests: 10” & the listing stated dining seating for 12, leading me to believe that there was flexibility to have a few guests for a trip to the beach. Hours before check in, I received a revised list of house rules stating, “only the parties booking rental are allowed, no parties or additional guests.” This should have been clearer in the listing/confirmation, as I would not have booked this property.
*Extra per person charge is $100, not per night, PER PERSON WHO ENTERS THE HOME.
*Dining seating is for 7, not 12
*Bedroom 3 does NOT have a double bed. If needed, an air mattress is provided. This is unclear in the listing, & we found out upon arrival.
*No sofa beds (only roomy sofas).
*5 towels provided for 9 booked guests.
*Unfinished bathrooms are adjacent to one another, & the locked pocket door separating them does not fully close, allowing a view of the toilet on the other side.
*No paper towels provided
*Dilapidated, collapsing property next door, yard filled with trash (not a problem for us, just be aware)
*Great deal of expired food in the refrigerator - eggs expired in 2022, mustard expired in 2010, & more.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Aug 2024
This guest repeatedly violated house rules by hosting unauthorized parties, resulting in the cancellation of their booking. They refused to leave as instructed, accessed the garage without permission, and caused damage to the property, including breaking a brand new refrigerator handle.
The house was left in a deplorable state with sticky floors, food residue, smoking evidence, and an unlocked window. The kitchen was a mess with dirty dishes and spoiled food, and garbage was not disposed of.
Their disregard for the rules led to additional cleaning fees and costs for missing items, surpassing the insurance coverage. I do not recommend this guest to other hosts.
