Whatever you do, do not book this unit.
Unfortunately, these owners give all
VRBO’s a bad name and as a result I will now be booking my stays in reputable hotel rooms.
I travel with two small children, and without any notice I was told the unit would not be ready for us to check in at the stated time of 4pm. I was very understanding, and held off until after 6:30pm when I finally got there and to my surprise the cleaners were still there. Beds were still not made, dirty dishes in the dishwasher and three full loads of laundry on the floor. Smelly, wet towels and all.
At this point, my children were exhausted and all I wanted to do was put them to bed. The cleaners offered to stay to complete the laundry, but having them in our unit or coming back and forth for three hours while trying to put tired kids to sleep was just not an option.
Starting my stay to someone else’s mess was not my idea of a vacation. Washing three loads of other peoples dirty laundry was not how I had planned to relax with my family. Searching for clean bedding to frantically make a bed to put my baby to sleep was not how I would have liked to have my evening.
The worst part, the owners offer me a $30 credit.
If I were at a hotel, or staying with any of the other vrbo owners that have graciously hosted us, I know this would not have happened. And had it happened, due to unforeseen circumstances, our disturbances would have been compensated for more adequately.
These owners clearly have no understanding of what it takes to host people. If I had known the nightmare we were checking in to we would have cancelled our stay and booked somewhere else.
