DO NOT BOOK-Absolutely Atrocious

DO NOT BOOK – Unsafe, Filthy, and MisrepresentedWe were unable to stay at this property due to serious safety and cleanliness issues that made it completely uninhabitable — especially for a family with children. Upon arrival, we discovered that the deck was literally falling apart, and the railing was so unstable that it nearly caused our child to fall. This was a terrifying moment and a clear indication that the property is not maintained to any reasonable safety standard.Inside the home, the situation was no better. The entire place was filthy. Cockroaches were present, and every air intake vent was thickly coated with dust and grime — a serious health concern for anyone, let alone young children. Not a single piece of furniture matched the listing’s description or photos. Everything felt like it was thrown together without care or accuracy.We immediately contacted Vrbo and the property manager, expecting urgent action for what was clearly a dangerous and unacceptable situation. Unfortunately, Vrbo was absolutely no help. They refused to hold the property owner accountable, did nothing to assist us, and still allowed them to keep our money — even though we could not stay there for the health and safety of our family.This experience was incredibly frustrating and disappointing. We booked in good faith and were left without a safe place to stay. I would strongly urge anyone considering this property — or using Vrbo — to reconsider.

AL Visit

The house was in a great location, close to extended family that lived in the area, The size of the house was great, the backyard was peaceful and it was pleasant to sit on the back deck. However, the pictures did not reflect the furniture that is currently in the house. The furniture is old and very worn. The dining room chairs were very stained. There were brackets for TV's on the walls with no TV's. It made the house feel like an unfinished project. The renovated bathrooms were great but the rest of the house was a bit lacking. If the pictures had truly represented the state of the furniture, we would not have rented it. Fortunately, we didn't spend a lot of time at the house and it was conveniently located. This could be an amazing property but it needs attention.

Great Cozy House!

Although our reason for visiting was a sad one, the house was just what we needed for our stay. The property was clean and ready for visitors. We had a minor hiccup which was dealt with by the property manager right away. Everyone in my group appreciated how the house felt like home. The deck allowed meals outside and a safe space with the enclosed back yard. There was more than enough seating and spaces for us to find a quiet nook to relax.The location was perfect because it was central to shopping, Bridge Street, and access to I-565/253/University Dr. My only issue which has nothing to do with the property managers is that the road the house is on being so busy which could be dangerous if you have little ones. Would definitely book again!

ROACHES, BLACK MOLD, UNSAFE

Since entering this property on the 25th of April, we have faced a number of unacceptable issues. This house is not at all as advertised, is unsafe for children and pets, and a health hazard to anyone. 1. The showers and bathrooms had not been cleaned, there was dirt and grime on the floors, toothpaste on the mirrors and faucets. There is black mold on the ceilings, crevices, grout and shower curtain. It is a well known fact that exposure to black mold can lead to severe health problems. 2. The furniture is covered in old dirt and stains. The beds are sagging, falling apart, and the bed in the master bedroom is propped up with a cinder block. There were old toiletries and belongings (not guest toiletries like a hotel or blank) around the house. The washing machine is covered in grime. The countertops and dining table surfaces were so dirty and sticky upon our arrival that we had to go buy cleaning supplies to wipe everything down ourselves. 3. Halfway through our stay, there was a roach in the kitchen. 4. The refrigerator had a "change filter" alert - so the filter hadn't been changed. In fact, we were told management was coming to replace the filter, then told a few days later that they hadn't replaced it, and needed to replace a broken piece, resulting my family drinking this water for several days. 5. We called a plumber to fix a toilet that was visibly clogged when we arrived, despite being sealed with a "sanitation seal" stuck to the top of it. The plumber also noted th

Large fenced in backyard

Overall the house was nice plenty of room. Needs more washcloths, there was no kitchens towels. I’m a clean freak and I know everyone isn’t like me, but the house wasn’t clean. Some of the dishes were not clean. Large back window in kitchen I loved it but it was dirty. The master bathroom shower was amazing, now I want one . The backyard was fenced in it was a big yard, loved sitting on the deck watching our dog fetch the ball

Not well kept

This home is overpriced. Pictures are deceiving. Not clean, baseboards filthy, floors weren't clean when we entered. We saw other peoples hair still on bathroom floor. Dusty. This house has an old house odor, maybe mold. Yard not well kept for dogs. No blankets for warmth, no decent cookware, no steak knives. Did I say way overpriced. Left 1 day early couldn't stand the smell. Very disappointed.
