Our recent experience with this VRBO property was nothing short of a nightmare. Right from the beginning, our stay was marred by issues. The water wasn't working upon our arrival, leading to a delayed check-in. While this wasn't the host's fault, attempting to contact Nick to discuss the situation proved futile. We had to involve VRBO, who eventually reached out to him.
Upon finally arriving at the property, we were greeted by a rather unsettling neighborhood with boarded-up buildings and a menacing dog across the street. The actual condition of the house was a stark contrast to the photos provided; it was run-down and far from the advertised presentation.
Safety was a major concern as we discovered soft floors, only one smoke detector in the entire house, and an overall lack of cleanliness. To our shock, a massive hole in the wall of the back bedroom was concealed by a large blanket.
Additionally, it's worth noting that Nick violated VRBO rules by directly contacting us on our personal cell phone numbers.
In light of these issues, we made the difficult decision to leave the property after a mere 10 minutes. Attempts to obtain a refund were unsuccessful, adding further frustration to an already unpleasant experience.
In summary, this VRBO listing fell far short of expectations, and I would strongly caution anyone considering a stay here.
