We had high hopes for this rental, but we were disappointed with our stay. I would not recommend this property. We checked in at night & the property was very dark & poorly lit; both outside and inside. The landscaping was overgrown with numerous branches down around the property.Inside, the home appeared to have only received a surface-level cleaning and was in need of a thorough deep clean. The house felt wet & moldy inside. Also, there was cigarette smell throughout the house.We noticed the displayed rental license was outdated by approximately six months. The smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were not installed; we found them stored in a bin in the closet.During our stay, we experienced Hurricane Lala and were told by the owner that candles and flashlights were available if the power went out. However, there were no candles, and the flashlights did not work because their batteries were corroded & expired. With three small children, we did not feel comfortable staying in a home that was not adequately prepared for a power outage during a hurricane.When we informed the owner that we were leaving early due, his response was that he could not provide a refund. I NEVER asked for one. He never acknowledged that the candles were missing or that the flashlights did not work, despite having told us these emergency supplies were available. There was also no apology or concern about the lack of basic emergency preparedness during a hurricane/Tropical Storm.
