âShelley Casa, 3BR/2BA,Stunning- âPoolâWHOLE HOUSE
10 mins to the world's most beautiful beaches! Welcome to Shelley Casa, a whimsical, quaint home with bright colors, local art, and copious sunshine awaiting you. Comfy beds, grill, backyard Pool. Walk to shops, and restaurants, and drive down to the pier. Escape home to have dinner outside in the beautiful backyard under the magnificent trees, starry nights, and warm Florida sea breezes next to a private pool. Perfect Location. Walking Distance to the nearby plaza with eats, and shopping.
We showed up and beds were a complete mess. Wet towels in both bathrooms and trash overflowing in the kitchen. We contacted the host and he explained that he saw nothing wrong and would have cleaning crew over the next morning to get clean towels and take the trash out. We absolutely decided that between contacting him and VRbo that we would seek another place to stay. The host refused to refund the money and VRBO only gave us 55 back. Horrible experience!
The size of the property and the location is great for a family size of 6 only. This place needs to update furniture like the sofa, and beds. The only bad thing is that this place does have cockroaches by the kitchen sink are garbage disposal area. Beside this cockroaches issue this place is a hiding gem. Location lot size is great.
When we arrived everything seemed ok but we began to notice cockroaches in the kitchen. We noticed the trash outside overflowing the dumpster and contacted the owner about both of these. He didn't address the cockroaches but said he would have the trash taken care of asap. He followed that email up with an email asking us to take the trash to the curb since it was trash pick-up day. The area around the pool was very dirty and we had to sweep and clean it up. The air conditioner was leaking all over in the garage. The yard area around the pool needs some cleanup work. Overall, we were very disappointed.
Not happy with the listing amenities about specifically what kind of âhot tubâ was on the property. Host said they had to list a small dirty paint peeling bathtub as well as a moldy tub and moldy soap dispenser. The tub had NO jets to be a hot tub specific No adult could fit in it. Then the neighborhood was not pleasant or clean. The back yards fence was barely standing up. The pool also has the flooring very loose and dirty and mold from the metal steps. The room has a hanging ac vent and wiring hanging out of the wall socket.. then the master shower wouldnât drain from one usage.
We could not stay. The smell was so bad that we couldnât breathe. There was evidence of Newports and Axe body spray and spiked sheets and clothing in the trash. Cigarettes were scattered about the carport and trash.Sheets and covers on all 3 beds had hair, eyelashes and/stains. Windows were open. Thereâs NO HOT TUB. They are refusing a refund
Weâve used VRBO for many years. This was by far the worst property ever! We live locally but booked it for friends visiting. We checked with the owners after the hurricanes and were assured the home was fine. On arrival it looked like the hurricane had just happened. A bush on its side, debris everywhere and all the shutters still closed. Fence down in several sections, giving no privacy or security. Pool screen torn in numerous places. The pool furniture was ratty, black mold on the pool deck but the worst was the flies! They were everywhere, we honestly thought something had died! I sent a message to the owners right away. They were response but claimed to know nothing about the issues. They said their lawn guy and pool guy had stopped by and assured them everything was ok. They did say it wasnât mold by the pool but where someone had a BBQ! But said they would have someone stop by the next day. No-one turned up. The fly issue was getting worse, you couldnât go by the pool and they were now in the house too. I sent photos again to the owner who told us someone would be by later but in the meantime, they had some drop off a fly trap!!! How insulting, not to mention the house is so poorly stocked there isnât a pair of scissors to open it! No pans, toilet tissue, few towels and no hot tub! We bought fly spray and took care of the issue! But on reading the reviews I see many of the issues were mentioned long before the hurricane! Shame on the owners!!!!
This house meet ever expectation! I can't wait to stay again. Area beautiful, home gorgeous everything we needed. Loved staying here and can't wait to stay again!
Wont find anything at a better price anywhere near tampa area! Save yourself the time and just book this house before someone else does!! Great host. Communication on point, and doesnt invade your privacy at all....a perfect combination rarely seen with hosts and the property and home more than exceeded my expectations!
Overall a good stay⊠there was here and there a couple things like when trying to check in with miscommunication. The pool wall had things that made us itch. And the dryer did not work . There was here and there some roaches but nothing crazy only saw about 3. If your looking for somewhere cheap but still good this is for you
The access to the home was fine, the code was provided a day ahead. The listing mentioned a hot tub but when we arrived, there wasnât one. The pool is extremely small and was dirty. My son had to clean it before we could use it. The lawn furniture around the pool was dirty. The yard that appears pristine in photos, was filled with over growth and debris. The fence is delapitated and the property is in a rough neighborhood. This is why the listing doesnât show pictures of the front of the house. It is located behind a restaurant and an auto zone. So loud people can be heard in the area at night. The rooms are extremely small and there were two live roaches that were spotted during our visit. We were also bit by bugs overnight, fleas maybe, but we didnât know. The comforters on the beds were dirty and they smelled. We were not allowed to use the garage and there is no vehicle cover so we were soaked when it started raining. The pictures implied that the garage and the toys inside could be utilized. Also there was some water dripping in the garage and we didnât know what it was. Definitely would not recommend this place to anyone.
Les points faibles : Communication et exactitude de lâannonce
Very disappointed
When we got to the house the A/C was not working. The owner did not communicate with me satisfactory so I contacted VRBO and they contacted him. Then he contacted me to let me know that HVAC was coming. I told him not past 10:00pm that we needed to change locations that it was 87 degrees. The guy showed up at 11:00 and was using the Ring outside with the owner to gain access into the house with 4 women only. NOT AT ALL HAPPY ABOUT IT! There is no jacuzzi as stated in the description. The house is no where near beaches either.
We were looking forward to staying here. The pool was contaminated and gross. Not safe to swim at all. The house was very dirty. The vents made a screeching noise if the AC was on and the vents were covered in dirt and mold. Some of the lawn furniture was destroyed and the screens to the lanai were all ripped up so the back porch was covered in bugs. Last but not least we had our pets and got this place for the fenced in backyard and the fence was destroyed with huge gaps that you pets could get through now problem. The host responded to my inquries before I checked in but when sent a message about these items I was ignored and he never responded.
We chose to stay here because it listed a hot tub, so we paid more money than another place closer to the beach. There is no hot tub, so the listing is misleading. I brought it to the ownerâs attention, who promised to change it, but itâs still listened on VRBO.
Otherwise, the property was good.
