My husband and I booked this house for my 50th birthday week, and invited another couple to stay with us from out of state. When we arrived, the place smelled like cat urine. It was late, so we just went to bed the 1st night. The next morning, before our friends arrived, we noticed how much this place needed to be updated. The large ottoman had 2 sides of the vinyl completely peeled off, sofas were very worn and stained, microwave door was broken, towel bar in bathroom was off the wall, and we couldn’t find the laundry room anywhere. My husband bought a large bottle of extra strength febreeze and sprayed everything down. He tried to vacuum, but found it wasn’t sucking anything up. Maintenance dropped a new one off, and my husband put it together and vacuumed the place. He found empty candy wrappers and a dirty sock under the upstairs sofa. He would’ve vacuumed the ceiling fans because they had so much dust and grime on them, but didn’t have an extension for the vacuum. That night, we started noticing roaches on the floor, tables, and walls. As we sat at the downstairs table to play games, we noticed there was dried food between the glass and wood top. My husband read the post while we were there from people that stayed before us, saying they saw this same thing. So, no telling how long it’s had that grossness stuck on there. Also, the oven kept turning on in the middle of the night. Come to find out, it was infested with roaches and somehow they were turning on the oven and waking us up all night. DISGUSTING! We did not bring any food into the house, in fear of bugs getting into it. There were only 2 cheap plastic chairs to sit on outside while on the balcony. Not even enough for everyone to sit together outside. That was okay, because we tried to stay away from the house as much as possible. We were embarrassed that we rented such a nasty place for all of us to stay at, and apologized to our friends several times. Oh, and we finally called about the laundry room and was told it was under the house and had a code on the outside door to get in. It was like walking into a damp musty old cellar… we found beach chairs and inflatables in there too. We added 4 beach chairs, an umbrella, and an inflatable ring to the collection. The location of this house is perfect for beaching. We are still shocked how this place had so many great reviews. I might be a little “hoity toity,” and like nice things, but this place was disgusting!
