I've never felt led to write a bad review about one of my VRBO stays for I've never had the issues like I had this time. I am actually shocked at what they charge for this home based off what it has to offer. It seems like it's lacking host pride, it felt like they moved out & left some of their old stuff.
Pro's: Property owner was helpful & available when I reached out. Home is spacious on the inside & out. Neighborhood is quiet & seems like a good neighborhood. Close to stores, restaurants & Busch Gardens Con's: Cockroaches inside, found 3. 3 of the bedrooms are all connected to each other, in order to leave the rooms to use the restroom or the rest of the house you have to go through at least two bedrooms. This is very inconvenient. For a house that sleeps 20 the kitchen is missing basic things, there was only 1 plastic mixing bowl, all cups other than toddler cups were glass, only 2 wine glasses, 1 tongs, no foil provided or saran wrap, no pepper, barely any salt, 2 rolls of paper towels and 3 kitchen trash bags for 8 nights & 15 of us. No sponge for the dishes & no dish rags. The grill is tiny. The drawers in the kitchen were filthy & one just falls out when you open it. Home needs a remodel. Carpets are dirty, rugs to cover the carpet cause you to trip over them. The laundry room floor is literally sinking in & the tile is all busted up. The wooden trusses in the living room are covered in dust. The toilets weren't running correctly so a plumber had to come. All the light bulbs in the garage went out upon arrival, all at once. We had to change some lightbulbs. The dishwasher lost power entirely on our last night. The pool table is slanted & very close to stained glass windows. The men when trying to play had to make sure their stick didn't go through the glass behind them & one of the kids shot a ball that went off the table & went through the glass. Upon looking at other parts of the glass other pieces were broken as well. There is poison ivy around the broken tree house. String lights outside, only 1/2 of the blubs work. There is no crib or highchair, there is a play pen & the highchair had to be dropped off. The towels are tiny & old. Furniture is old & worn down. Master bedroom needs dark curtains for it's extremely bright in the mornings.
