Just received the insurance claim the owners sent to VRBO. The amount of over $1,500. Of course, the mandatory insurance coverage that was required will cover the cost.
I am a positive person and meet everyone with an open mind. My parents raised me not to say anything unkind and live and let live. However, the owners listed items that functioned the same upon arrival. Such as, replacing an entire door that was sticking on the top, which are little sanding would fix.
The current guest next door, which will be staying there for sometime, began complaining to the owners about that noise and many other problems our last week. She apparently told the owners that she was going to call the police. Mind you, our 20 month was dealing with a 15 hour jetlag difference. My wife and I felt harassed from this other guest and everything increasingly got worse. The before mentioned guest is having a house built across the street from this location and plans on becoming a permanent member of the wonderful community of Coronado. So, I understand the owners predicament.
The owners did not allow us to do all of our laundry. Which, was an issue for us because they only provide one set of sheets for your stay. We purchased other sheets and a mattress protector. However, part of their insurance claim is to replace the never used mattress protector and very little used sheets. Needless to say, we vacated earlier than planned
There were two other guests that were pleasant enough, however with two dogs in the backyard, there is always something to step in. George's son is in his twenties and has issues with touching/ moving his clothes from washer and dryer.
I cleaned up after our son and really improved their neglected garden area, but was never thanked. In fact, George took a hose to clean leaves, although there is and has been a serious drought in California, and damaged our son's new $300 battery operated car.
I understand that no one is perfect. We will continue to use VRBO and not let this experience tarnish us. Hopefully, thesefactual statements will help everyone with compassion. Understanding others first, before trying to be understood.
Safe travels everyone. Peace and much love.
