| Complaint |
My family and I have stayed at Ocean Lakes for the past 3 years and we love it. There is plenty to do for the whole family and the campground is located right on the beach.
We will definatley return to Ocean Lakes, but never to 1249 Sharks Tooth Trail. We found this unit thru VRBO. It is listed as a '3 bedroom home and very clean'. Before we rented, we found a negative review of this home descibing excessive roaches and pametto bugs and difficulties by a prior renter in getting a security deposit returned. After speaking to the owner, Elizabeth Burrow, she assured us the review was untrue and there was no insect issue or any other issues. Well, we should have believed what we read.
The owner does not disclose in the VRBO listing that this '3 bedroom home' is a partially converted camper. The VRBO pictures ( http://www.vrbo.com/235248) show 2 of the 3 bedrooms only. Bedroom #3 is listed as a full size bed, and is actually not a bedroom at all. It is located in the 'camper ' portion of the home and is a typical camper bed, just a wooden platform sandwiched between 2 walls with a thin camper mattress on top in a passthru hallway between the back of the home and the kitchen. Not suitable for any full size adult, let alone a couple.
The 2nd day we were there, we were overrrun by roaches and palmetto bugs. They were everywhere, much more then we would expect as normal for southeastern locations.
On day number 4, we found mice living in the kitchen under the stove.
This unit is small and dark inside, and not well kept at all. The furniture and rugs are worn and stained, and we had to clean everything before we used it upon our arrival.
When we left, after weeks of trying to contact Elizabeth Burrow for the return of our security deposit, she informed us that she was keeping it because we didnt clean the place when we left. Utterly riduculous. We left this shack in better shape than we found it and 'mouse free' to boot.
We've been renting vacation homes for 20 years including through VRBO, and have never had the security deposit withheld for any reason until now.
The weekly rental on this unit is very cheap for this area in the summer and now we know why. I would not recommend this unit to anyone at any price. |
