First of all, there was no one to greet us. This was our first time renting using a VRBO so there was no standard check-in. We walked up to the guest house and it was already unlocked so we just walked in. This practice may be normal with VRBO to not meet anyone but kinda troubling as anyone could have just walked right in, regardless of if they had a reservation. The chances of this were probably pretty small though it would have been nice if they took security a little better.
Relaxing in the pool would have been nice except the pool was dirty on the bottom of it and didnāt look pleasing to go into. The patio was covered in dust and looked unappealing to sit on.
The room was not very clean though the room was comfortable. Walking in, we found a used Q-Tip on the floor which was quite disgusting. The bed was not made and had multiple stains. Also, we were walking around barefoot in the room and our feet got filthy. There was a rug in the entryway that was tattered and didnāt look very nice. The room needed a little TLC and it would have been much better.
For all the unpleasantness, the upside is that the area was very nice, the yard was very upkept, and the room was decorated nicely. Unfortunately, the bad outweighed the good. For me, this experience has turned me off from VRBO.
