Akaka Falls: Sweeping Ocean View & Horseback Riding = Ruined Vacation
Link ID 245            
Title Akaka Falls: Sweeping Ocean View & Horseback Riding = Ruined Vacation
Web Address http://www.vrbo.com/308289
Complaint The advertisement for this place is very misleading and the place was not a safe environment for anybody to stay in. Multiple times on the advertisement it says that this place is “clean”, but it turned out to be the filthiest place instead. Spent 4 hours of vacation time just to make it somewhat livable by fixing and cleaning up the place. Below is a list of problems with this vacation rental.

1. Door lock did not work

2. Door installation fell every time it was opened

3. No telephone or any other way to communicate to the owners or anybody, especially in the case of an emergency

4. All blinds broken, especially the one in the bathroom was broken and shabby that you could see right in. Had to put a towel over it for some privacy.

5. Dust, dirt, and bugs were everywhere from the windows, fans, furniture, kitchen appliances, etc.

6. Mattresses were so old that they sunk, bedding needed to be washed (could see hair and drool marks from the people before) and hair, dust and leftover items were found under each bed.

7. Appliances were unclean and did not work. Had a hotplate as the “stove” and the washer had cold water coming out when it was on “hot” and vice versa. Clothes got ruined due to not being aware of this.

8. The main light did not work, plus the flashlight that was there was broken.

9. Advertised that we would get fresh flowers and coffee every day. When asked why this was not provided, was told, “you wanted that?” Was told that she would reimburse us for this, but never did.

10. Items left over from the people prior to us. Used bottle of shampoo from a different hotel in the shower, etc.

11. Towels were rags. Had holes and bleach marks on them.

12. None or poor quality amenities. i.e. no Kleenex, water down soap, no table, etc.

13. Advertised that 5-6 people could stay there. The place was so small it could barely fit 2 people properly.

14. Upon returning the key to the place we were threatened and harassed by the owner all because we wanted to return the key to her. She claimed that we were trespassing and used harsh and threatening language. We also tried to mention again how dissatisfied we were about the place and she said that she did not want to hear about it and that she will have her dogs attack us.

-Upon speaking with some locals in the town, we became aware that others have complained about this place and the owner before.
