Disliked: Cleanliness
First of all the house was not clean when we arrived. My wife which has a cleaning business had to clean the house. Then the pool was dirty, we had to wait for cleaners to come out and clean the pool so we could use it. We asked if we could bring our third dog which we were told yes and charged extra for the dog. Then when we left we left the property way cleaner than it was when we arrive and they said they found a couple dog poops in the back yard which we thought we got everything but missed a couple and we were charged and extra 250 dollars extra to clean it up. I would not stay at this place again and I would watch bringing pets because they are looking to charge extra for nothing.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 July 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear your stay did not meet your expectations.
Cleanliness is something we take very seriously, and we wish we had been notified about any concerns with the interior of the home upon your arrival so we could have addressed them immediately. Our goal is always to resolve issues during a guest's stay whenever possible.
Regarding the pool, the home's lanai enclosure was damaged during the recent hurricanes. Until it can be fully replaced, the pool is exposed to the elements, and occasional leaves or debris may enter the water, particularly after windy weather. We clearly communicate this to guests, provide a skimmer for convenience, and promptly arrange additional pool service whenever needed, as we did during your stay.
We were also happy to accommodate your request to bring a third dog, despite the home's standard pet policy, and simply applied the additional pet fee that was agreed upon in advance.
As for the pet waste charge, this was not actually assessed, you just saw the corrected charge for the total number of pets. When I went back and looked again, we only charged $125 for 1 pet initially and then another $250 for the other two; for a total of $375, and no additional fee on top of that were charged. We do have video documentation that shows 13 waste piles in a 41 second video from our staff so it was not "a couple" of missed spots. We'd be happy to send it to you, as I mentioned to your husband, but he declined. Typically, additional cleaning fees are applied in accordance with our rental agreement to cover the extra labor required to prepare the property, but in this case we simply applied your pet fees to the cleanup.
We always strive to be fair, responsive, and accommodating, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify these circumstances for future guests.
