It was REALLY dirty! Floors, bedding, kitchen cupboards, kitchen drawers, microwave, fronts of the appliances, dishes, etc.; were visibly dirty. We actually found dirty QTips in the kitchen cupboard. We discovered the bedding in the master bedroom hadn’t been washed, they were visibly dirty and actually had blood on them. There was more than one bed that we discovered had hair and dirt between the sheets. I found it disturbing that none of the mattresses had mattress covers and none had fitted sheets. (So if you moved around much you ended up actual sleeping on the bare/dirty mattress.) We mopped the floors ourselves after being there one day, as everyone’s socks were disgusting. The light switches throughout the house were dirty. Every fork, glass, & dish had to washed before using. The drawers were disgusting. There are NO kitchen dish towels. We had to buy paper towels and garbage bags. There was no cooking spray, limited pantry items and very little AJAX Laundry soap that looked like it had already been watered down. The ironing board was broken and there was no hair dryer in the house. There was no extra blankets to be found. The hot water system needs servicing. You run the shower for a good 3-5 minutes before you get hot water. The house needs maintenance; holes in the walls, exposed wires under the TV, broken windows. Although the AC worked we couldn’t figure out how the control it; instructions would have been nice. The kitchen outlet breaker would pop off during the night. The TV in the living room has a black line on the picture, on right side.
I didn't contact the host during the stay as we were extremely busy planning a wedding and I had 12 people in the home. We washed sheets and surfaces, as it was easier than coordinating with the host to visit & fix; especially since they had no problem giving it to us in that condition. After the trip I advised them of the issues and was told I should have advised them at check-in; although the majority of the issues were discovered throughout the stay. The host offered me a discount on future stays but there is no way I would go back.
I've stayed at a number of VRBO's and this was by far the worst for cleanliness and amenities and unfortunately the most expensive I have every rented. Very Disappointed!
Hopefully the owners will make some changes for future renters as the place has great potential.
