After staying here for 5 nights I can honestly say this is the worst VRBO I have ever stayed at. The main reason I booked this VRBO was due to the photos, location, and view of the river. However, after doing some research, I discovered the photos of the home shown on VRBO date back to the sale of the home in 2021. The previous owner clearly kept the property very well maintained, and the current owner's use of these outdated photos misrepresents the property's actual condition.
The home in its current state has very mildewed siding, overgrown landscaping, broken railings, and outdoor furniture in poor condition. Mold in the shower, built up grease on the kitchen stove, master bedroom carpet significantly stained throughout.
However, the worst issue is pest control. On day 4, I was surprised by a skink that was in a pile of clothes in the 2nd bedroom. On day 5 I woke up to find scraps of chewed facial tissue leading from the locked dining room closet to the living room. After further investigation, I had the surprise of watching a mouse that ran around the living room from the sofa to the ottoman, back and forth, until eventually it made its way back to the dining room closet.
Given these significant problems, it's hard to believe the property has received so many positive reviews. The home requires serious maintenance, both inside and out, and definitely needs pest control.
I sincerely hope the owner addresses these issues so other guests have a better experience.
