I booked this Clearwater rental just over two weeks before my son’s baseball tournament. Then, six days out, the tournament bumped our group due to too many teams. I reached out to cancel, but the host flat-out refused a full refund, strictly enforcing the terms and conditions. I’ve never had a host unwilling to work with me before. Rather than lose over 800, we were forced to make the trip anyway.The property is sadly run-down. The front door greets you with bubbling paint and a broken, barely attached handle. Step inside the master bedroom and the damaged threshold immediately trips you—I caught myself, but it could’ve been bad. The master bathroom faucets look untouched by cleaning for years, and the shower grout is heavily covered in mold.Recreation? The dartboard is broken and lying on the floor. The pool table has just two unbroken cues. The pool itself is murky with debris at the bottom. The “grill” is a rusted-out charcoal pit that barely functions, paired with filthy utensils and zero charcoal provided. For a place that sleeps 9, there weren’t even enough utensils for our group of 5.Worst of all, mold isn’t limited to the bathroom—the AC vents were pumping it into the air. We didn’t connect the dots until day two, when my wife and kids started constantly sneezing and feeling unwell.Overall, this was a stressful and unhealthy experience. The location was convenient for the tournament area, but the condition of the home made it a big letdown. Think twice
