I was excited to get away to one of our favorite beaches while we had some work done at our home several hours away. Immediately I was very uncomfortable wit the fact that the house cleaner was in the condo after check-in time which was 3p. I had originally asked for early check-in and did not receive a response about that. We arrived at 3:30p, and the cleaner was still getting things done. She then has to leave and come back. I noticed a few things throughout the stay that were a bit uncomfortable... 1- there was not extra toilet paper and tissue paper except for one roll. Luckily I travel with some (military habits) and was able to make it through the week. There were no visibly accessible garbage bags to empty the trash can and have a fresh bag. Again I had extra and didn’t find the ones they had until the last day. 2- there were some places that had not been cleaned, such as the microwave and oven which were disgustingly dirty. 3- the sliding glass door did NOT lock. At all. Not even with a piece of wood to block it off as a safety mechanism. It was bothersome. I was up checking on the condo and my child repeatedly. Scary.
Other than those main things, the place had so many useful utensils, plates, cups, towels, and blankets that one could need. Too many dang remote controls for the televisions but I’m glad they had televisions rather than not have them. The kids room was radically AWESOME. 4 beds and an extra mattress. Pretty cool.
The amenities at the condo were extravagant. NO hot tub... Let me repeat... NO hot tub! Which sucked big time for me. The pool water was not heated so it was COLD all around. They did have a lot of games and DVDs for family and kids to play and watch. I assume it’s a family unit that still gets used since I saw several family pics... cute family!
Wish check out could be at least 12p. I mean, who in their right mind wakes up and is ready to check out by 10a on vacation?!? 🤷🏼♀️
Not the most modern VRBO but comfortable. Just need a better and more timely cleaner for the place, a new checkout time, heated pool or a jacuzzi (PLEASE) and a single remote for each TV.
Thank you and Happy New Year!
