| Complaint |
The listing on VRBO was neither current nor accurate. The price was $200.00 more than stated and a $150.00 cleaning fee was added. After many successful stays in VRBO properties this one was disappointing. We had to supply our own toilet paper, garbage bags and dishwasher detergent. The home was advertised as accomodating eight - which it did for sleeping but there were not eight chairs to use for dining, cutlery was always an issue. Supplies were at best minimal. especially in the kitchen - no placemats, the toaster was probably 30 years old and didn't work properly,no cheese grater, storage containers, limited serving bowls. There were no barbeque tongs or brushes to clean the barbeque, no recycle information or containers (though we found out from the neighbours that there was a comprehensive recycling program in the municipality, no access to the laundry from the house - had to enter the garage from outside. The couches had been covered with blankets (understandable as the furniture was a light colour and we had children) - but the blankets were pilled and we spent the entire week covered in beige lint. The house did have some nice features - it has been renovated, was open and spacious and the beds were relatively comfortable but it seems that the owners (or managers) cheaped out on the very things that make a stay pleasant. The guest pass to the Hilton pool/beach was the only perk that came with this bare bones, accomodation. The property manager actually used the phrase "bare bones" when I called to inquire about the toilet paper, etc. If that's the case this should be clearly stated on the listing as other VRBO rentals do provide those basics. It took a full month to get our damage deposit returned. |
