Where to begin...so many misses on this listing that its not even funny. I spent majority of my vacation either requesting basic necessities, like bowls, light bulbs and lamps or fearing that we would come back to the airbnb and find our belongings on the street. I'm certain Taylor will leave a scathing review of me claiming I tried to scam him but I urge you all to save your headaches and don't book here. believe the many many many negative reviews. I now feel the positive are all fake!
to start, the property looks terrble on the outside but Ias optimistic. inside you walk in and the floors are clean, kitchenis big and space is large and nice rooms. on the surface, this all looks great! unfortunately, appearances can be deceiving! we arrived late and headed to bed the first day. I was a little dismayed when I noticed none of the lamps were plugged in because they couldn't reach the plug.
The next morning we sat down to have breakfast and realized we had one bowl! we also had a coffee pot that only made 5 cups even though the house is for 16 people! it took us brewing 3 pots just to have enough for 2 adults in the morning. I promptly messaged Taylor and he sent a person over within the hour with a new coffee pot, 4 extension cords and a dozen bowls. I would have expected that these things were already in place but I wasn't going to let it ruin my trip and we had more family arriving that day. so I went to check out some of the other rooms and unpack and all of the dressers were filled with linen. we had to move linen from every dresser just to unpack. at this time we also pluggedin the lamps and reaizwd they wouldn't turn on. we were unable to turn them on because the turn knob was missing from EVERY LAMP!! We had one lamp with the turn knob so we had to unscrew it and try to turn on the other lamps. unfortunately, many of them still didn't work or didn't have bulbs. we finally gave up on the lamost.
outside the pool deck was cracked. the pictures online are at last a decade old bc the pool deck has bee painted a few times. there was glass in the backyard and a wasp nest. also the light switc knobs were broken.
in the master bedroom bathroom, the toilet paper was placed on the counter. no holder anywhere. we had to call to get a new one. also the toaster handle broken so they brought us a new one of those too.
all of the bathrooms missing towel racks and the drain in both master bathrooms is placed over a hole, not attached. so it will stick to your foot ans come off. the 5th bedroom is basically the garage walled off. the online pics show a closet but that no longer exist. everything thw other people mentioned in thw bad reviews was true...every thing!
the kicker is the i messaged Taylor to tell him how upset I was and he said "let me know when you will be in the house and we will schedule those minor repairs". these weren't minor repairs and I also didn't want to spend my vacation helping him repair his home. the door knobs were falling off several doors, the curtains held together with tape and string, the couch repaired with plywood. there are no pull out beds. also a sign at thw door which we found on day 2 says the property can only have 8 guests, not 16!!
when I told Taylor I believed his listing was misleading and not worth $600 a night, and tha I would like a partial refund, Taylor took MY pictures ans submitted them as damages to the property. he claimed that he found damages on Sunday when we didn't even check out until today, Wednesday.
if you are looking for a frat house, this is the place for you. if you are looking for a family vacation, this is not the house.
I can'twait to see what Taylor claims I've done to the house. good thing that I took plenty of pictures and videos!
