We’ve used VRBO for many years. This was by far the worst property ever! We live locally but booked it for friends visiting. We checked with the owners after the hurricanes and were assured the home was fine. On arrival it looked like the hurricane had just happened. A bush on its side, debris everywhere and all the shutters still closed. Fence down in several sections, giving no privacy or security. Pool screen torn in numerous places. The pool furniture was ratty, black mold on the pool deck but the worst was the flies! They were everywhere, we honestly thought something had died! I sent a message to the owners right away. They were response but claimed to know nothing about the issues. They said their lawn guy and pool guy had stopped by and assured them everything was ok. They did say it wasn’t mold by the pool but where someone had a BBQ! But said they would have someone stop by the next day. No-one turned up. The fly issue was getting worse, you couldn’t go by the pool and they were now in the house too. I sent photos again to the owner who told us someone would be by later but in the meantime, they had some drop off a fly trap!!! How insulting, not to mention the house is so poorly stocked there isn’t a pair of scissors to open it! No pans, toilet tissue, few towels and no hot tub! We bought fly spray and took care of the issue! But on reading the reviews I see many of the issues were mentioned long before the hurricane! Shame on the owners!!!!
