Not like photos. Not clean, cobwebs, hair in the tub drain. Very dusty and a very strong musty smell. I would not use Vrbo again.

From the owner: “Thank you for sharing your feedback. The home is cleaned and prepared before each stay, and I would have been happy to address any concerns right away if notified during the visit. I appreciate the comments and will continue to review the space to ensure it remains comfortable and welcoming for future guests.”
Communication with host was good, but the place lacked necessities like a spatula, toaster or working broiler. Way too much furniture and dust.

Hi Lori, we appreciate you highlighting both the positives and the areas for improvement during your stay. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your review, and they wanted to share the following:
- We’re glad communication was smooth throughout your trip.
- We’ll be taking your feedback into account as we continue making improvements, including checking kitchen inventory and adjusting furnishings to create a more comfortable space.
- The broiler will be inspected to ensure it's in proper working order, and any excess dust will be addressed by the cleaning team.
Thanks for your valuable feedback.
The property is run down and in need of repair. It was not accurately represented in its VRBO listing. It lacked basic and essential amenities, especially for a 6 bedroom / sleeping 10 listing. Water pressure was unbearably low. In the middle of my short shower, the water flow spontaneously reduced to a trickle. After 1-2 mins of this, the water flow returned to its previous stronger but weakened state along with a loud screeching sound from the pipes which lasted 3-4 mins. The beds are uncomfortable, the mattresses are mushy & sagging and appear as to be as old as the house. No A/C and windows painted shut and those that open have worn and dirty screens. We were so uncomfortable and inconvenienced by the property that we checked out early and got a hotel room for our final night. Such an awful experience! Shocking that VRBO would have such a poor quality listing on its site. I request a refund.

Hi Michael, we take it seriously when guests let us know we missed the mark, and after sharing your feedback with the homeowner, they’d like to mention:
- All mattresses were replaced last year and are medium-firm, though comfort preferences vary.
- While previous guests haven't mentioned water pressure issues, we've scheduled a plumber to inspect and resolve any problems promptly.
- The property underwent a full interior renovation last year, but we'll reassess areas needing attention or repairs.
- This home doesn't have A/C (as noted in our listing), but we’ll inspect windows and screens to improve ventilation and comfort.
Thanks for your valuable feedback!
