My recent stay at this rental property left much to be desired. The location initially seemed promising, but the overall experience fell far short of my expectations.
Right from the beginning, my frustration began with the various fees associated with home-sharing properties, including booking, admin, cleaning, linen, and others. However, what truly irked me was the additional surcharge for credit card fees. It seemed unreasonable to be charged extra for using the only payment method available for bookings. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information about this fee while booking through VRBO, as the property management company had set it separately.
Adding to the disappointments, the property appeared dated and poorly maintained. Despite paying a linen and cleaning fee, we found pubic hairs on the towels and linens, along with cobwebs and long hairs throughout the place. The carpets were dirty and wrinkled, and the garage emitted a moldy smell. Broken cabinet doors, windows, and inoperable sliding glass doors further compounded the issues.
In conclusion, while the property boasts a good location, convenience to downtown, and a great view, I cannot recommend this property to fellow travelers. The experience was disappointing, and the discrepancies between the listing and the actual reality of the stay left me feeling let down. There are much better options available in the area with more attentive hosts and better-maintained properties.
