How this property ever received any positive reviews in the past is beyond me. First thing we noticed was the severe bug infestation, especially on the kitchen countertops, sink, drawers, floors, cabinets, etc. All utensils, glasses and dishware had to be cleaned BEFORE and after using. All food items had to be stored in airtight containers. The place was literally crawling!
Next was the complete lack of wifi service. When the owner was told of this, he suggested we stand closer to his next door home or see if we could pick up the signal from his next door neighbor (who had his router on a secured network). No wifi whatsoever.....
The entire place was in a complete state of disrepair and neglect (and dirty!), inside and out. Gaping holes in drywall, walls severely marked and scuffed, window shades broken, paint peeling, window(s) could not be completely shut. Even the coffee maker had a cracked glassware pot that could not be used. Several light fixtures/lamps were inoperable or without bulbs. The air conditioner filter (which apparently had not been changed for quite some time) was so filthy that we took it upon ourselves to replace it. The air unit could not cool to set temperature, except in the evening when the outside temperature cooled down. I have numerous pictures to prove whatever I have stated above.
Would also like to add that we picked up after our dogs as instructed, however the neighbors unleashed pooches had free reign of this property and left their droppings there randomly.
It was such a shame since this property has such a nice waterfront location on a beautiful lake, it's just unfortunate it has obviously been severely neglected, and not just recently, but apparently for a long time. And when I selected this property on VRBO, I took into consideration all the positive reviews......obviously I should have taken them with a grain of salt! Never again.....
