We had a horrible time. Definitely the worst trip ever.The house looked abandoned when we arrived. Lawn hadn't been mowed in months, overgrown landscaping, dust all over house with dead bugs (at the time) and slippery mud covering the whole laundry area. We found some mats under the house and made a pathway since we couldn't sweep up the mud. I didn't want my 80 year old parents to fall getting to and from the washer/dryer. We didn't mind cleaning at first because we knew it was such an old house but it was obvious owner was not maintaining the property. Simple things: no matching dishes, silverware, cups, mugs, etc. Not a biggie, kind of part of the artsy vibe of the house. But no scissors, broken coffee machine, burned out lightbulbs . . . . I felt like we were there to fix the house, not relax for a vacation. The next few days I felt guilty because I never call to complain or report something. I just deal with it, but we called the bug guy to check out the large number of bugs (field beetles, carpenter ants, roaches, flies, and the normal beach bugs). We had bought fly strips but the guy from Bee Green stated the house needed to be sprayed more than he could do while we were staying there. My kids were so scared, they moved to the sleep on the futons in the living rooms because they were so afraid of sleeping in the room with the bugs crawling on them. Unfortunately the spraying kicked off a swarm of flying ants upstairs that went through the walls to the downstairs bedroom. The Bee Green guy came back the next day and said they're in the walls since the wood was obviously rotted on both upstairs doors, walls and windows. The locks to the grill didn't work and the one lock that did work was so rusty we couldn't lock it every night. Unfortunately our 4 bikes were stolen the night before we were to check out. Our son had only had his brand new bike one week and this broke his heart. We always bike around Tybee once we're here and this ruined this aspect of our vacation. We called the police, filed a report but they said rarely do they retrieve the bikes. Another day wasted calling the bike shops, driving around looking for the bikes and moving to a new unit. This unit is unfit for rental. I'm shocked it was approved by VRBO and the local rental company.
