I think they forgot about us. I never got the instructions so I messaged the owner. He promptly sent me the info and we got in with no issues. The garage area smelled like a car was in there, and it was very hot. The upstairs was better, but it was clear the A/C was just put on. The overhead lights did not work, and the fan wobbled and looked like it was "melted". We did without the light or fan. There were crumbs on top of one of the beds, on the table, and plastic wrappers on the floor, so it was clear that it wasn't cleaned. With that we started looking more and saw stained mattress covers, moldy bathroom and window blinds. It left us feeling a little yuck. Bathroom needs an update with floor and the shower, with rust and stains on the very small shower stall. If the weather was cooler (85 and 100 percent humidity) the fire pit would still not feel very inviting with rusty chairs and a tire for a ring. The apartment was very convenient for the wedding we were attending, as it was just a walk across the street. But without that draw the local beach (5 min walk) and very small town (20 min walk) would not be enough for me to return. The previous reviews had me expecting a very clean space to make my life easier (happy wife happy life) and Vrbo added a 70 cleaning fee which for this property could have gotten me a very nice hotel in Washington NC. The pics just didn't match what we saw, and the property needs a refresh.
