If you're looking for a vacation rental that doubles as an escape room challenge, This is the place for you! Our stay was a comedy of errors featuring clueless managers, broken appliances, and surprise surveillance cameras. The management company sent us a photo of the wrong mailbox for the keys. After a wild goose chase down the street and failed phone calls, I finally found the correct one. Bravo, Fidalsa! Inside, it was like a 1980s crime scene with peeling paint and non-functional amenities. The downstairs bathroom had no hot water, and the upstairs shower head was broken. The half-filled pool’s jets ran 24/7, serenading us all night. The gas burner and refrigerator were also out of order so Bon appétit! Communication was limited to WhatsApp because who needs phone calls in 2024? We reported issues immediately and were promised a technician. Spoiler: the technician was as elusive as Bigfoot. For four days, we were held hostage, waiting for repairs while the beach mocked us from afar. VRBO finally intervened, prompting the managers to blame us for not knowing how to use things and threaten a 30-euro fee. Then a maid, not a technician, confirmed our complaints. Still, nothing was fixed. Surveillance cameras covered every angle of the outside decks and pool. Inside, cameras watched the living room, kitchen, dining area, and hall to the bedrooms. We felt like reality TV stars without consent. For our troubles, we got a whopping 7% refund. Thanks, Fidalsa, for the memories.
