Disappointing Stay Due to Major Cleanliness and Maintenance IssuesWhile the house ultimately provided the basic structure needed for a stay, the conditions we encountered upon arrival were deeply disappointing and unacceptable for any VRBO.The fundamental issue was the complete lack of preparation and maintenance. Upon entering, we found a plugged sink and a dishwasher filled with weeks-old, unwashed, foul-smelling dishes. The state of the kitchen was further marred by a stewing pot that contained old food and was growing mold. Outside, the kitchen garbage bin was left uncovered, collecting rain and making the area unpleasant.When we attempted to run the dishwasher to remedy the situation, the entire unit immediately fell out of the wall, which was concerning from a maintenance and safety perspective. Additionally, simple amenities were missing: there were no garbage bags and no batteries in the TV remote, which undermined our hope for a quiet night in.To the host’s credit, they were responsive and actively tried to remedy the situation when notified of the numerous problems. However, the sheer volume and severity of the issues made it impossible to feel comfortable or relaxed during our time here. We hope these critical cleanliness and maintenance issues are fully addressed before the home is offered to another family.
