our experience here was bittersweet. although it was a beautiful home in the photos, there were some red flags from the moment we arrived. the toaster in the kitchen did not look as though it was cleaned, the white curtains had dog pee stains on them, the chairs outside were torn and looked almost moldy, the pool was cleaned 1 time a week but was very dirty the other 6 days, and there were bugs in the rooms. the first night we found a giant cockroach/beetle type bug under our bed. turns out there was a hole in the corner of the room where bugs could enter and exit freely (it should also be known that theres a hole in the garage as well where bugs come into the house). we plugged that with a Kleenex and didn’t tell the host because we didn’t want to be burdens on the first night. fast forward a couple of weeks, we found a scorpion in our bedroom. we did let the host know, and she said that it was strange because she had never been made aware of scorpion problems at this bnb before. again, not a big deal if this was the first time. another week goes by, im vacuuming the rooms and i find another cockroach/beetle bug on the wall. i almost took a photo but it scurried under the bed and i couldn’t find it again. i had texted my significant other who was out and said that we should leave early because of the clear bug problem. he agreed, and as i was packing things up that night, we found yet again another scorpion in the bedroom. im not sure whether there’s a nest there or not, but after i told the host about the second scorpion and said we were leaving because of it.. i didn’t get a response until the next day saying the gardner would look into it because maybe some windows were open. my only issue with that statement is that we stayed june-july, where it’s already super hot out and no windows would be open at any point in time.
anyway, we left and then were reported for our pet being in rooms? that was frustrating because our pet slept in the living room every night on the ground and honestly we slept in the living room a couple nights too because the master bedroom doesn’t have cool air circulated into it. i could see how maybe dog hair got on one of the blankets because huskies (that’s what we have) shed during the summer and hair circulates throughout the house and onto things. but to charge us additional money after we left a week before our trip ended because of a bug problem? it was truly maddening to have to go through that.
i really want to leave a good review, and if the bug issue gets taken care of and if someone goes through and thoroughly cleans the place, it should get 5 stars. until then, i do not recommend this bnb to anyone who doesn’t want to share a bed with a scorpion.
