I have never had such a disappointing experience and have never left a negative review for any home or condo rented through VRBO.
My husband and I rented this condo to be near our son and his family during the holiday season.
It was apparent upon entering the condo that pictures don’t always represent the true condition of a unit. The walls looked as though they hadn’t been painted in many years. Some of the walls actually showed rust where paint had worn away. Most moldings showed deep scuff marks and doors were actually chipped. The tile floors while free of debris , showed footprints when you walked across them from dust or residue? When we arrived, the lamp shades on 2 of the 3 lamps in the living
room were completely lop sided. One from the lamp being shoved against the wall and the other was just crooked. The 3rd lamp had a straight lampshade but didn’t work.
But the very worst thing was the bathroom floor which was filthy dirty. There was no floor mat or rug to step on when you got out of the shower. My husband went out on day one and purchased 2 oversized floor mats to cover as much as the floor as possible. The toilet seat had a sizable chip in it. The bedroom which was tastefully decorated had 2 full size beds. The mattresses were unbearable and difficult to sleep on. The frames of the mattresses were metal. The “bonus room” which had some type of bunkbed in it was nothing more than a walk-in closet. Sinks in the kitchen and bathroom were clean of debris but nothing shone the way you would expect something recently cleaned.
The kitchen was devoid of anything needed to bake and required another run to the store for disposable aluminum pans. We found one frying pan no more than 8 inches wide and had to make do. I could probably go on about how inadequately the kitchen was stocked but why bother. The outdoor balcony was very spacious and offered a spectacular view of the ocean. But once again, the plastic furniture was filthy and had to be washed with soap and water before we could sit on any of the chairs. I took pictures of everything I mentioned and would be glad to share them. The building and grounds were well maintained and this review should not reflect poorly on them. But unless major improvements are made to that condo unit it should be pulled from the VRBO website.
