| Complaint |
The house is not a resort in my book:
-the house had a "motel" smell of old cigarette smoke and was generally run down. when you come up the driveway, there are old couches and other junk piled beneath the house.
-there is literally a 14' high stuffed big foot replica in the living room, next to the t.v. this was not on the website!! the bigfoot theme is taken to an extreme in the decor.
-someone (the owner?) lives behind tarps on the ground level, making it a bit creepy. the property manager had mentioned that the owner lived "on the property", but somehow i didn't imagine it would be in the same building, behind tarps.
-the "waterfront" is the san lorenzo river, which was not very attractive in september. don't expect to be lounging by a lovely running river.
-way overpriced (they charged $480 for one night, which included cleaning and pet fee). i noticed the price was cheaper on the vrbo site, even though i found the place on craigslist.
on the bright side, the beds were clean and seemed new, the interior was reasonably clean despite the musty odors, and there were good games. the guestbook did record a few happy renters, so some might like the place.
i really think, however, that the vrbo site exaggerates when they call it a resort. our group agreed that this was the worst rental we had ever experienced in california. |
