Health and safety hazard
Buyer Beware. Things are not as presented on this website. On the property, weeds and trash litter along the overgrown fence line. The two story stairs to the roof/deck are unsafe. No brackets or screws, and missing the center supports, the post caps are unsecured. A woman(sister?) gave us keys. We entered the kitchen to the overwhelming fumes of an insecticide. It smelled as if the room had been coated with RAID. I covered my nose/mouth and gagged. The entire cottage was dark and dank. Wondering what to do and what on earth they had sprayed for just before our arrival, I did a quick walk through which revealed peeling paint and wallboard, they had plastered over wallpaper which was now peeling back from water stained ceilings, walls and window frames. Leaking window air conditioners with soaked towels underneath to catch the condensation, all tied together with extension cords tacked to the wallboard. The smell of mold and mildew filled the air. The tub had gaping moldy caulk along the walls edge, the shower in the other bedroom was worse. Most of the furniture was old and in terrible condition. We felt it best not to stay due to the toxic fumes, so put the keys back in the key holder on the door and left. I messaged the owner regarding the condition of the property and he denied the insecticide, and the property condition, he offered nothing and refused a refund. He eventually, through VRBO offered a partial credit if I did not post a review. But no refund.
