VRBO should not advertise this place
We are a group of 4 senior ladies traveling for golf and to go to the Masters. We chose this home because of the descriptions and it was only about 60 miles from the Masters.
First impressions…
The driveway was full of garbage. Called the owner. It took 2 days to get someone over there to get rid of this stuff.
We were greeted by a disgusting smell inside. Not sure whether it’s just because no one has been there or if it’s some sort of chemical used by the cleaners. Opened the windows and aired out the place, but it never really went away.
Sofa – both sides sloped significantly toward the middle. When sitting here you needed to put a pillow under one side of the cushion to try to level it out.
Every piece of furniture and all furnishings are the absolute cheapest we have ever seen. No idea where anybody could even find this stuff. Whoever set this house up has never stayed in a decent VRBO property.
Matching lamps on night stands… one works and one doesn’t. The one that doesn’t work is missing a button to turn it on.
TV – no reception. We had to sign up for a streaming service to be able to watch the Masters. Only one TV in the house.
There’s a broken desk in the living room. Looks like somebody may have sat on it.
Microwave is too small to pop popcorn. There’s not enough room for the bag to expand or the turntable to turn.
Refrigerator does not have an icemaker. One broken ice tray in there so we had to make a trip out get ice.
The curtain rods are very cheap and curtains even worse. Did not provide any privacy or room darkening.
Walls are very dirty. Kitchen wall looks like it has mold on it (the wall shared with the garage).
All of the baseboards were dirty and the edges around the bathroom fixtures and sinks.
Sink in the master bathroom was stopped up. I told the owner about it. He said “there should be some draino in there”. Couldn’t find any so he had some delivered. It did not work… drain still clogged. I don’t know how the cleaners cleaned the place without noticing the stopped drain.
There are 4 of us and 2 of us each had 2 bath towels. The 4th had one small towel. Some of the towels and washcloths should be used as rags. Owner did send some additional towels over when we complained.
We were all so disappointed. We wanted to leave a few days early and move to a better place, but this owner said he would not give us a refund for the remaining days.
BTW, I have NEVER left a review like this for anything before.
