The place had a musty smell to it upon arrival.
No central a/c, 5 portable units in the house by each rooms bedside, very noisy at nights when trying to sleep. (See Picture)
Roach infestation problem.
Resorting to keep all dishes and utensils in dishwasher, locked up. Ran dishwasher every morning to disinfect utensils due to the amount of roaches in the kitchen.
Wi-Fi spotty throughout upper floor.
Kitchen needs a good cleaning (see included pictures)
Stove not working, figured out that the tank was empty.
Property used as an Airbnb should have a mandatory planned inspection/cleaning.
2nd day in with no resolution from owner I went to Walmart and bought bug spray and bait. My family and I removed all utensils from drawers and wiped down all surfaces with disinfectant.
Owner responded in a nonchalant manner that roaches are a problem on the island and that she would see when she could get an exterminator out there. Turns out that it would be on the 21st, today is the 18th.
Pulled out fridge because of large amount of roaches coming from behind it and thoroughly sprayed the large amount of roaches we found there. (See pictures)
When I tried to explain why we pulled fridge the owner got upset.
Found a huge amount of roach feces on top of fridge. (See pictures)
Roaches found crawling between refrigerator door seal. (See picture)
Roaches found dead inside fridge. (See pictures)
Roaches, both live and dead found inside various drawers. (See pictures)
An excessive amount of food debris was very obvious between range and cabinets. (See pictures)
Every morning and evening we had to wipe down surfaces because of roach feces on countertops and fridge. (See pictures)
Had to pull out fridge for spraying and disinfecting due to amount of roaches coming for behind. (See pictures)
Alarming amount of roaches found inside fridge and between insulating seal. (See pictures)
Pulled out the catch tray for the range and found an alarming amount of old food debris and live roaches scattering.(See pictures)
Complained from arrival on 17 July, no pest control arrival till 22 July.
Informed owner that we were leaving July22-24th and needed place properly treated and cleaned.
A superficial clean was done, range catch pan was still full of food, between range and cabinets were still full of food debris. (See Pictures) However the counter-tops were cleaned.
Returned from island hopping only to find infestation problem continued. (See pictures)
Wife was surprised by two roaches in shower on morning of 25 July.
Morning of the 25th, while eating breakfast I felt something crawling on my back and yes it was indeed a roach.
My daughter ran out of her room upstairs when a roach was crawling on her bed on the morning of the 26th.
We have resorted to locking up silverware, cups and plates at nights in dishwasher.
Found roaches inside dishwasher causing us to wash dishes by hand.
I have repeatedly asked owner for a solution for this but none were given.
The owner asked me not to move any of the appliances to clean the place to which I responded that i was not there to clean nor exterminate, I was there for a vacation.
During our stay I repeatedly asked for the place to be properly cleaned and exterminated, i even sent numerous pictures of the roach feces and food in catch tray before she sent a cleaner out yet none of these were addressed.
Unfortunately I cannot add photos as proof of the infestation in this house. I hope this is resolved before the next guests visit.
I have over 100 pictures and videos of the infestation. Airbnb should remove this host till these indecencies are properly addressed.
We attempted from day 1 to try to get another home to rent but try that in July, it was impossible. That size home with A/C is an anomaly.
