Despite staying in various parts of Florida for the past five years, I did not enjoy my stay in this villa for a number of reasons. The first reason was that the villa was not very clean when we arrived. Although it had been cleaned, it must have been some time before as there was a build up of dust on the surfaces and there was balls of fluff and dust along the skirting boards. Bed sheets were thread bare or moth eaten in parts, and few times found big ants in the bed, and a dead cockroach in a bowl in the kitchen cupboard. The dishwasher did not work properly, the front door latch didn’t work properly either, and nor did the pool light. The most significant thing was there was no pool fence up even though I had specified we had a child with us and expected it to be in place, as it has been in other properties we have stayed in, and was vital as we had a two year old with us. I telephoned the property manager to ask for the pool fence to be put up and was told there wasn’t one. I was absolutely flabbergasted as I know it is Florida law to have this. I was told to contact the owner of the house, I did this and he told me to contact the property manager. After some time it was eventually established that the pool fence was in the attic. Somebody was going to come and put it up and fix the pool light and the front door latch. The pool fence was put up, on day 4 but the pool light worked for around 1 minute then went off again and the front door latch was never fixed despite us being there for over a month. The villa did not have a kettle and being British I like to drink tea so I bought a kettle with no issues, along with plastic cups, plates and bowls to use outside for the children as there weren’t any. Although I wasn’t really thrilled at all of these things, what I really disagree with is that my grandson broke a lamp. My daughter paid $80 to replace the lamp, yet I lost $100 dollars of my deposit despite replacing the lamp. So in essence we have paid $180 dollars for a lamp. And I obviously left all of the additional kitchen items that I bought. Won’t be staying there again.
