My worst VRBO experience (all others have been excellent). Very poor value
We fixed the main bathroom door as it could barely close.
We cleaned the fridge as it was not useable when we received the cottage.
We also fixed the air hockey table as it did not work and all of the holes were plugged.
The pool table has a large warp and is not really playable.
However we were still able to enjoy our stay thank goodness the weather was excellent we werenât inside much.
We suggested that they may want to acquire a toilet plunger and fire alarm for safety purposes should they have any issues in the future.
We had some extra garbage that did not fit into the one single bin provided so we started using the green bin to put garbage in to keep it clean and tidy and then had no choice but to pile it inside as we were there for 2 weeks.
All of the beds are on the floor (not cool for a handicappedâŠ.ME!!!!)
No furniture to speak ofâŠ. No coffee table, end tables, closets or bedroom furniture.
The main bedroom shows a picture of a flat screen TV on the wall to find out that it did not work.
The second picture in ad shows a dock with a 14/16 foot boat and under the heading of âon the propertyâ indicates that there is a boat on the property and when asked they said they meant kayaks (picture 9) đł like I donât know the difference.
HOWEVER⊠within a week prior to our rental we inquire to the owners about needing our boating licenses⊠and they tell us that there is no boat included (second pic)!!!!
We feel kinda robbed because we we already locked in and had paid
