This apartment was a misrepresentation with fraudulent owners now claiming damages. We were informed by CSA-Generali Claims that the owners accused us of damaging the stovetop—a fraudulent claim. The stovetop was broken when we arrived, posing a fire hazard, and the owners were aware. It repeatedly shorted out despite instructions from the owners to flip the breaker. The apartment did not meet the advertised standards and fell significantly short of our expectations.It was dirty, the kitchen had no oven or dishwasher which was advertised. Cookware was unusable, limiting us to one pot and two pans for a family of five. There was no furniture to store clothes, three hooks for towels, and stained couches. The listing falsely claimed "beachfront penthouse." It was at the back of the building with a partial ocean view from one window. A 48-hour blackout left us unprepared. No flashlights or candles were provided (until 9 pm). We could not charge our phones and had no way of communicating. We lost a refrigerator and freezer of food.My family became severely ill upon arrival. I was hospitalized on Dec. 23, my mother Dec. 24, and my husband Dec. 26. We required antibiotics for most of our stay, rendering us unable to use the kitchen and forcing us to rely on external food sources.The apartment was misrepresented and in bad condition. We urge VRBO to investigate and prevent future guests from suffering similar misrepresentation and fraudulent claims. (Pictures available)
