Mikel was a wonderful host and was very quick to respond when we messaged with questions. The WiFi worked perfectly for us during our stay. The fenced in yard is huge and was perfect for our pets. The pool was beautiful and we enjoyed swimming very much!
Upon check-in 5:30pm informed that the cleaners did not arrive. Owner said to have done it himself. There were dead flies everywhere, food residue on a dresser, kitchen table, counters. Moldy food left in the refrigerator. Linens left in the dryer wet and towels in the washer. Dryer runs when opened. White towels and wash clothes had stains on them.
We observed a broken window a child could easily cut themselves on, missing bathroom hardware, drywall patching, stained mattresses on both sides, a lot of junk in the yard (trash debris, old equipment, construction supplies, liquid containers with stagnant water collecting in them etc). The HVAC intake was coated with a thick layer of dust.
Trash to be placed outside in a bin near the auto shop, but the bin was full , majorly overflowing and several open trash bags were laying around the bin. Trash bags torn open.
Pool was cloudy with clumps of visible dirt on the bottom and the hot tub was not in use and torn apart. Within 3 days, the pool had become green and unsafe to swim in. The owner said he was going to treat it but did not come out for 2 days.
We have pictures of everything but unfortunately VRBO at this time doesnât allow you to post pictures with your review sadly.
We made the decision for the safety of children to leave early. The owner initially agreed to refund us the remaining nights we had not stayed but did not honor the request.
I have so much to say about this home and the host himself. My stay was from July 6-10th. He offered an extra day but I would have to pay via Zelle to avoid any VRBO fees which I did (first mistake). I had to ask for the code to get into the home and while on the line with the host attempting to get the code he stated "The pool is green because someone had something on their body that turned it green". Then he said, "Someone turned the pump off to the pool which is why it was green". The pool was full of algae and dirty. Full of bird feces. The bottom of the pool was not visible. The projector in the living room was missing and his excuse was that "A previous visitor stole it". The remotes for the TV were missing and TVs in the rooms were missing. The Internet is NOT SKETCHY it DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. Now you're in the middle of nowhere with no phone service (I have AT&T) and no internet. How is this safe? There is garbage all over the shop and piles of garbage where you're suppose to discard your garbage when you check out. He offered to bring his projector and never came to try to fix anything because "I told him I was checking out therefore he DIDNT FEEL HE NEEDED TO COME". Run now!
Ive reached out all the appropriate individuals including OSHA.
The pictures are deceiving to say the least! Good luck.
Kitchen was adequately stocked. We enjoyed a lazy rainy 2 days catching up with friends. Outdoor area had trash and old unused equipment. Beds were comfortable but bedroom walls needed paint or repairs where TVs had been removed. Overall, we had a great stay and enjoyed our time.
We loved this home! Nice outdoor pavilion and swimming pool as stated. It was perfect for our large group of 3 families. Everyone had plenty of space. Not far from Lake Anna. Peaceful neighborhood. Thanks for the pleasant stay!
Beautiful house, equally nice yard, and a great neighborhood. The owner is doing some construction on the property (he made sure I was aware), but it wasnât an issue. The rooms were a great size for the kids. Our dog had room for his crate in the kitchen. It genuinely felt like coming home. Kudos, Mikel!!
