BEWARE HOUSE HAS MOLDLots of neglect-Dishonest hostThere is a much longer story and pics shared with VRBO.Stunning viewsHouse smelled fresh on arrival, looked cozy.Nicely renovated bathroomsEnds there.Rest of house is dirty, water stained walls and ceilings. Kitchen ceiling especially gross. Roof is clearly leaking.Moldy rugs by hot tub and master suiteHoses left out to trip overRotting house boards on deckMoldy rugs piled by the unusable grill.Lighter fluid and charcoal sitting in the sun Rusted patio chairs that broke when I sat on one. Fell through Ice maker full of stale ice and jammedAnd more.Day 2 Ceiling in small bath leaking moldy, rusty water. Bubbled paint full of water. 5-6 hours for response. Expected us to be available for contractors vs. sending over a house manager. Contractors did not have appropriate tools available to them, needed to come back, made a bigger mess and additional safety concerns. Did not feel safe after that, as they were given the lock code. Had no choice but to give permission. Zero response from host for last 2 days of stay.Checked out several hours early to avoid the contractors.36 hours later after no responses I requested a partial refund for the issues experienced.Host denied refund, made false accusations, when proved wrong with photos and screenshots offered a very small refund IF I agreed not to review the stay. I believe false favorable reviews have been submitted, including one from the host himself.
