I have stayed in many vacation rentals and this was one of my worst experiences. The owner/property manager communicated poorly, which was extremely frustrating. His response time was slow, and when he did finally respond he was not hospitable. We received no check-in instructions until a few hours before arrival (and I had to message him to request it), he provided no check-out instructions (and, again, I had to message him to request it). The home was not cleaned well. To be specific, the comforter on the downstairs bed had, what appeared to be, some type of human fluid on it. And the pillow covering on the upstairs bed had some type of dried liquid on it as well. We had to wash the bedding prior to sleeping in the beds. There was, what appeared to be, a large booger on the side of the kitchen table, and handprint and smudges all over the walls. Closets were filthy and filled with junk. The front yard had bags of trash piled by the curb; it smelled and animals got into it. If good communication and cleanliness is important to you, I would not recommend this home. Renting these homes is expensive, and owners/property managers of these properties need to understand that by listing their home, they are agreeing to enter the service industry, and with that comes the responsibility and expectation to ensure that guests receive great service and an excellent experience.
