We booked this home for a week (2 adults, 4 kids), it turned into the WORST travel experience we’ve ever had. We are understanding people & try our best to tolerate situations and have grace but this experience was awful. The listing photos and reviews looked great, and check-in was easy—but upon arrival, the outside was dirty with garbage, and inside smelled like a rotten wet towel, heavily masked by excessive air fresheners. We quickly discovered a portable AC unit covered in black mold.While the decor looks updated, the home itself was dirty, poorly maintained, and unsafe. Issues included broken upstairs flooring (causing trips), a toilet that didn’t flush half the time, a microwave that repeatedly tripped the breaker, a bedroom outlet that sparked when used, and a loud, malfunctioning dryer. We tried contacting the host multiple times with no response. Only after involving VRBO did someone come out, but the issue wasn’t fixed. Meanwhile, both my husband and I had physical reactions to the mold (I woke up with swollen, itchy eyes).With no support and worsening conditions, we had to borrow money to move to a hotel—losing hundreds in groceries, paying for new accommodations.After leaving, the host claimed they were unaware of mold, yet a June 2025 review mentions the same issue—so this was known and ignored.Despite all of this, they kept nearly half our payment. This property is not just disappointing—it is unsafe. I strongly urge anyone to avoid this property.
