The house itself was clean, comfortable, spacious, and a great location. But unfortunately the exterior was significantly different from what was represented in the VRBO listing photos.Our biggest concern was the condition and safety of the outdoor areas. The listing showed a completed pool deck with fencing/railings. In reality, the pool area appeared unfinished, with exposed 2x4 framing, an incomplete deck, and no railing. The pool is directly beside the river, where alligators are present, so the lack of a proper barrier was concerning. There were areas where someone could potentially fall through the decking. With children, this would have been a serious safety concern.The siding near the pool was unfinished. The upstairs patio had artificial turf covering portions of the deck, and when it was accidentally moved, we discovered severely deteriorated/rotted wood underneath.The outdoor kitchen was another major discrepancy. The listing showed a functioning grill and sink, but in reality the equipment was heavily rusted, neither worked, and the sink was not connected to plumbing.We had a good experience with the house & location, but the exterior amenities were not accurately represented. These were more than cosmetic differences—they were advertised amenities, maintenance, and safety hazards. I strongly recommend that the listing photos be updated to accurately reflect the current condition of the property for future guests.
