The first problem we encountered was the cleanliness of the house. We were upset to have had to pay a $275 cleaning fee when the house was not that clean and Sheryl does her own cleaning. There were cobwebs in both bathrooms and the living room as well as clumps of dog hair in the master bath. The baseboards throughout the home haven't been touched in months.. The pool had not been vacuumed and there were ants in the kitchen, the master bath and all over the grill and the brick that surrounds the pool. The outdoor sitting area has cobwebs filled with deadbugs all over the walls and the TV did not work. If someone is charging 275 for cleaning I expect it to be clean and ant free. There is a bottle of ant spray under the sink so the host is fully aware there is a problem.
The second issue was that we had purchased food to cook at the house. After spending $50 on steaks to grill, we found the grill is broke. Not only was it covered in ants, but the ignition is broke and will not light the grill. We followed every instruction and we're not able to use it.
Thirdly and the most concerning, our vehicle was broken into Thursday evening. We woke Friday to find our belongings rifled through and a credit card stolen. After finding this, we immediately left because we felt unsafe.
Needless to say, our trip and stay was a disappointment. The construction noise, paired with a public parking lot across from the pool giving us zero privacy, was a disaster. Top that with the constant and consistent airplanes overhead made this trip anything but relaxing.
