I have been renting vacation homes in Pawleys Island through VRBO for more than 9 years, and this was the first property where I experienced any issues.The biggest concern was that the home did not accurately reflect the amenities shown in the listing. Upon arrival, the house also needed a cleaning. There were crumbs throughout the kitchen, sand on the floors and in the bathrooms, and the outdoor garbage cans were full. The microwave did not work (inside was peeling and rusted) and more.I had communicated with the owner about the beach chairs before our stay. Unfortunately, the chairs provided were rusted or broken, moldy, and not usable. I had to rent beach chairs from a local company. To his credit, the owner did contribute toward the cost, which I appreciated.The owner was easy to communicate with and very responsive. He was apologetic and understanding when I shared all the issues at the end of our stay. However, he mentioned that he would have addressed everything if I had notified him at the beginning of the rental. While I understand that perspective, I don't believe guests should have to serve as the maintenance and inspection team for a rental property. There were enough issues that they should have been identified by the owner's cleaning and maintenance crews before we arrived.Overall, I was disappointed because the property has potential, was decorated nicely, and the owner's communication was great. I hope the owner considers our feedback for future rentals.
