Arriving, you have to drive up a pothole filled road.
“spotty internet” is incorrect, there was absolutely no internet to look up the code again or even the internet information. We had to drive a good 10 minutes down a road just to load anything.
Not fully stocked kitchen. Only pots and pans, nothing more.
Brand new home with no blinds or curtains on most of the windows (living room, bathroom and the entryway has a large open door, looking straight into the living area, this can be uncomfortable at night), privacy was a huge concern for us and we felt uncomfortable as soon as we walked into the home.
not a homey feeling at all but instead almost like a safe house where you would send someone in witness protection, all brand new wood, not much art of any kind and very “brand new” and cold.
Multiple cars driving around the home so not private at all and the cars were so loud
The bedrooms downstairs are freezing, because it’s just a redone basement. Way to much creeking coming from the ceiling.
Multiple lights do not work throughout the home.
The traffic, when you can hear it, is loud, like they’re coming up your driveway but they’re on the road.
No dishwasher but are asked to clean dishes.
The dishes were not all cleaned, we have a photo of a pair of tongs that had grease still on them and the dish drying rack was also dirty.
Kitchen is NOT fully stocked. It has pots and pans, sure, but in multiple VRBO’s that we have stayed, there has always been at least some kind of cooking oil (they say they provide a cooking spray in their company website but this is not true and not stocked) also at least some parchment paper/foil, popcorn and a plethora of seasonings (they have a nice spice cabinet with absolutely nothing in it) This home only had 2 sets of salt and pepper, no mention of having to bring anything on VRBO.
We purposely didn’t bring certain food items because we figured the VRBO would have them as this home has great reviews, but upon arrival, we were extremely taken aback, disappointed and felt unwelcome to see the home has nothing
