We were looking forward to a relaxing weekend since we ourselves had severe hurricane damage. We have had no septic since the storm. One of things we wanted was a long hot shower and a good home cooked meal. We were not able to enjoy either one without complications at this house.
Water in the kitchen sink was basically a slow trickle. The showers allowed for me to take a hot one, but my spouse had to wait a good 20 minutes before he had hot water and could take his. Good thing we allowed time in our plans.
We didn’t have internet so no TV to watch. There were very inappropriate movies like Neighbors as a choice to watch if you so desired to watch. We went to bed early after a long day.
The toilets flushed after a couple of times in a row if you used TP. Owner questioned me on that saying they worked fine for him. We had to plunge one toilet.
The fire pit was something I was looking forward to using while sitting out on the patio. Unfortunately there was no propane in it, so couldn’t use it, And the fan overhead was so disgustingly dirty, it begged the question of how clean was everything else?
The house itself was in very rough condition. No molding in places, dirty garbage can in kitchen, marker on flimsy kitchen chairs, , no covers on fans, toilet covers mismatched, paint chipping, etc.
He advertised 1 mile to the beach- but the beach is a hurricane hit area! It’s closed due to it being a disaster zone area. No beach is open. Not for walking, swimming, shelling, anything. One of the reasons we came here and we couldn’t enjoy it. I even asked him if his home was affected by the hurricane and he said no. A local corner business in the area said the whole community was flooded, so who do you believe?
Zac charged a nightly rate, cleaning fee, and taxes, which initially brought our total up to over $400 for the night. It was a complete waste of money and had I had internet to look up VRBO’s number to call, I would have contacted them that night to help me with the issue. It was after we left the area we got internet and saw he gave us $40 off for internet loss.
To be fair, the master bedroom bed was nice and had a nice bathroom. The living room room had a large tv to enjoy if you had internet.
I asked for more of a refund and he refused.
So, please decide for yourself if you think this is a good rental for your needs. We most certainly did not!
We have photo’s for anyone who may want to see them.
