The location of this property is great, which is why it is a shame that the home is in such bad shape. The photos in this listing are VERY old and they are a misrepresentation of the current state of the property. The house is full of questionable construction fixes with doors that do not open or close all the way, nooks and crannies that do not meet up and are filled with expanding foam as a solution, stained walls and carpet, warped paneling and floors, etc. Kitchen appliances and bathrooms were clean, but the level of dust in the rest of the house was approaching Haunted Mansion level.
Information sent by VRBO before check-in regarding the key that opens all doors of is incorrect. A key is NOT provided, just the code on one door. We made the mistake of locking the deadbolt on the door with the keypad entry. Then we went out another door on the screened porch and closed that door behind us, which automatically locked (with no warning). We were then locked out with only my cell phone -no car keys, my children had no shoes on, etc. I called the owner and the only solution he offered was to see if any windows were unlocked so we could crawl through. Thank goodness one was unlocked and we re-gained entry.
When we arrived I noticed some trash in the yard around a large plastic chest. Didn't think much of it but come to find out, this is where you are supposed to place your bagged garbage during your stay. On our third evening, I placed our first bag of bagged garbage in the chest. When I opened it, there was a lot of loose trash, including rotting food, at the bottom and it was full of flies and gnats. I threw my bag in and closed it quickly. The next morning I noticed that the chest was open and our sealed bag of trash was completely gone. Very strange, so I held the rest of our trash until our last day to place in the chest.
The day of our last night, the AC stopped working. Contacted the owner and told him it was 84 degrees in the house. He responded that he would ask the AC guy to come up the next day. I said we would be leaving the next day and he said that we could open the windows. It was 86 degrees outside with no breeze at all. We packed up, got a couple of hours sleep, and headed out ASAP.
I was later notified that I would be charged an extra fee for the trash in the yard around the garbage chest, even though it was not ours. My appeal to the owner through text and VRBO did not receive a response.
AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST!!
