After a long drive from NJ, we finally arrived Saturday night and were ecstatic to get to the place. Upon walking in, it was obvious that the place was not cleaned all that well as the tile floor was dirty. Easy to overlook and we all jumped into the pool asap. Then the following happened:
Cockroach found in the foyer.(we tried to not overreact thinking it was a Palmetto bug.)
The next morning, the facing of the kitchen utensil drawer pulled off completely. Was broken previously and sloppily fixed. Property manager sent a handyman to fix.
Then another roach was found on the carpet of the downstairs bedroom. Killed and kept it for proof.
Property manager notified, who sent "exterminator" who was actually an employee of the property manager. He sprayed some solution downstairs and did not take the dead cockroach with him. Left it in the container with us. Only offered us use of the bbq for free for our troubles.
Three more roaches found by our 2nd to final night. Prop Manager notified. Sent same guy to spray the same stuff on our final day.
Dealt with 5 roaches in total. Have pictures for reference as they left all dead roaches with us, which we left for housekeeping as we left. Definitely an unneeded stress for our vacation.
Also only cleaned/chlorinated the pool once midweek. Meaning, we were swimming in the previous guests grime for 3 days before treatment.
Won't be renting this place again.
