I messaged the host 2 weeks before our arrival date asking about the private beach instructions and confirming that the grill was ready to go with propane. I never received a response through Vrbo messenger. We drove 5 hours and arrived 15 minutes before check in, our toddler was sleeping so we parked in the driveway and we were not pleasantly greeted by the hosts who were finishing cleaning, instead we were immediately told we could not be there until check in. The propane was empty, delaying our planned meals, and the host was unable to have it filled for 3 hours so we had to go fill it. She did refund us. There was no picnic table outside as pictured to have meals. The front door lock malfunctioned and we had to change the batteries.We walked around in socks which became black from the dirty floors. The beds are uncomfortable. The yard is not equipped for games, it’s mostly overgrown. The fire pit was nice, but you can hear cars going by as you sit there, and from the windows in the house.There is also zero information about the advertised private beach area. It’s the Hollywood Hills Association beach and you are supposed to have a sticker to park (or you will be towed) which is not provided. There is also no trash pass provided by the hosts, so you have to pay to drop off your trash at the transfer station. We have been renting in old forge every summer for almost 10 years now and we have always been given a trash pass. We will not be staying here again.
