The house smelled very bad. Like it had been wet and moldy
Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 6 March 2026
We are sorry that you felt this way but, truly wish you would’ve mentioned it when we talked the first day you entered. It has been cold and wet, and with the all the water surrounding and oak and cypress tress around, takes a bit longer to dry everything out in this rural setting (especially in the cooler months). Fresh country air is definitely not the same as city air smells.
