Family trip

The property is in a great location and house was accommodating to our family. The check in process was tasking, along with finding out what to do with the trash. Instruction we’re not clear from the property manager. Beside dealing with check in and trash disposal, we enjoyed our time at this nice home.

Beautiful property

The property is amazing but communication is poor. Had to ask several times on location to dispose of trash and didn’t get a response. Before arriving verified that TV was working and was assured there was a Roku, but unfortunately that was not the case. Reached out upon arrival, didn’t get a reply to the next day.

Not recommended

We got there late and pin was incorrect . It was backwards if my brother didn’t punch in several numbers we would have to stay in our cars till next day.Internet didn’t work so we called the front office but never returned the call. The next day they answered and sent someone to fix and said the password was missing a letter. The cabin was dirty.

Your first impression is of a dingy home, not like the photos shown. The furniture is stained, floor tiles and a window are cracked, trim is broken off or dirty and needs painting, and nails protrude on the decks. A closet door was leaning against a wall in a bedroom, the master toilet was missing it's handle. Even with 3 days of a maintence worker, housekeeping and roof workers the roof still leaks, only the living room TV works, the outside door to the deck doesn't close without using the dead bolt, and many windows are still filthy. We rented largely on the basis of the promised views out of the windows. in a March 4 email from ruidosocondotel @vtrips.com you stated that "we will make extra sure that the windows are cleaned ". They weren't when we left after 2 weeks and we were told " we were unable to find a contractor available during this time." They had 5 months !Check in went well and the kitchen appliances did work. The beds , AC and wifi were fine. We do have emails supporting our concerns.
