This is not a townhouse as there is no inside access to the lower level and no 2nd or fire exit from the lower level unit. It is two separate units with 2 separate entrances and door key locks. Barefeet Rentals maintenance helped us access the stuck lower level door on the first evening. Those who later went to the downstairs unit at bedtime found it to be disgustingly filthy with a sticky counter, dirty floor including an empty can, a dead bug, a pepto bismol pill, gritty carpet and stained sheets.
Each day we discovered additional repairs needed including a cracked toilet, loose floor tiles, broken blinds in 3 areas of the unit, twisted curtains, leaky faucet, off-balance closet slider door that would not stay closed, rodent hole chewed through the screen on the porch. One must sit on a pillow on the upper unit sofa so as not to feel as if sitting on the floor. The ceramic dishes are chipped in the surface area which can harbor bacteria.
The last day, tried unsuccessfully to pull out the lower level sofa bed and found a rag in dried vomit. This is hard to UN-see.
On the 3rd day maintenance came to fix the dishwasher that had standing grey water in the bottom. He was also able to fix the lock on the back slider door that was loose and difficult to lock. He replaced the missing vertical blind slat, 2 light bulbs and 2 clock batteries. He noted that they don’t know something is broken until someone tells them. In this situation, the paying guest was expected to provide a list of maintenance concerns.
While maintenance was at the unit, a housekeeper arrived unannounced to change the twin sheets that we had already washed and put back on the bed the day before.
The Vrbo picture includes kayaks that were not available for our use and this was not clearly communicated. This is a boat dock and not a wading or swimming beach.
We have shared pictures of our concerns and have communicated with Vrbo as this was our first Vrbo experience. We are also waiting for a response from Barefeet Rental Agency.
