First and foremost, this is my first very negative review-The positives-communication with owner was good and the location is at the southern end of AC about 1.5 miles to casinos and shopping-convenient for our family attending a music festival, accessible by car or UBER, short walk south to boardwalk and beach. The deck was nice. All bathrooms renovated.
Negatives-the house is in disrepair. The nightly fee was WAY expensive for the experience. The owner is trying to do his own renovations to the property, which we can appreciate, but it looks unfinished-molding propped up, backsplash falling off in kitchen, large boxes of supplies (a vanity) sat in the main living room. The house was not clean-and the dishwasher was FULL of dirty moldy dishes that mostly were thrown away by the owner who came over after I sent a snapshot. This lead me to believe the house had not been cleaned in sometime-to the owners credit, he admitted he had no idea how long they were there. Fruit flies all over the house-he offered to have exterminator come, but we said no, we had already accommodated a realtor to look at the house while we were there. Personal affects were in master shower, but No toiletries supplied, no book with check in or check out instructions and definitely no extras. Only a Keurig coffee maker, btw. And if you think you may want to cook-the kitchen is too poorly stocked. The garbage outside was beyond full that we couldn’t even put our trash in one of the several bins when we left. We’ve staying in a lot of places through VRBO and unfortunately this one was a major miss. For my husband to say something negative about a property and it’s value-that’s not good. The property could be super cute-it just needs a lot more TLC, property management and a better cleaning crew.
