Needs Cleaning and Maintenance
When we arrived, dead mosquitos were all over the wall, and the rental smelled awful. There were two smell issues: a persistent mildew smell and a sewage smell that would happen 1-2 times a day. I did reach out to the host, and maintenance resolved the persistent smell, but they were only able to partially resolve the sewage smell.
The rental needs significant deep cleaning and maintenance. We needed to fix a bed in one room, which collapsed the first night. The deck steps, the step inside the unit, and several spots on the floor were exceptionally soft, which often indicates wood rot. There is an exceedingly low likelihood that the electrical system meets any reasonable building code.
I have no idea when the pictures were taken, but the state of the rental is significantly different from the pictures (but not materially, according to VRBO standards). The bathroom was redone with cheap fixtures, and all overhead fans were removed. The removal of the fans results in very uneven cooling.
If you've made it this far, you should also be aware that the $15/person resort fee does not give access to the pool area (and likely other areas). This is not the owner's issue, but could definitely be communicated more clearly.
