Alex messaged that the house was ready but when we arrived he was in the unit, which was rather awkward and startling, since it was supposed to be a self check-in. My teenage kids enjoyed the pool, which went to a depth of 10 ft. The actual house however was disappointing. While the rooms and supplies were accurately described, there were three major issues. The first issue was that unit had an overwhelming amount of citrus / orange air fresheners in it. We had to collect the ten or so air fresheners and move them outside as they were unbearable. I imagine he was trying to cover some other smell. Even after placing all the air fresheners outside, it still smelled quite bad. The second issue and really the biggest complaint was that there were so many flies inside the house. When we arrived we easily killed 10 or so flies and thought we were good but somehow flies just kept appearing each day. After some Googling we did learn that flies tend to sleep at night, so we ended up just staying away from the unit until evening. My guess is the garden attracted the flies but we have no idea how they kept getting inside. We became quite good at killing flies and attempted to make the best of the situation. The third issue and it’s not as concrete as the first two issues is that we never felt comfortable in the unit. I searched the unit for cameras a couple times because it just felt off (I didn’t find any). I wouldn’t think much of briefly running out for food or something without my fam at a normal hotel, but I didn’t have that level of comfort here. Perhaps the uncomfortable feeling was based on the awkward arrival. In any event, we were quite excited to leave and would not stay here again. This was my worst VRBO, Airbnb, Homeaway, etc experience.
