Absolutely Disgusting â This House Should Be CondemnedDO NOT STAY HERE.
After a 7 Hour Drive from out of state with two kids and two dogs we arrive to hellâŠMy son went into his bedroom and immediately noticed bugs crawling all over. Upon closer inspection, his room was infested with insectsâlater identified as assassin bugs (yes, the ones that bite and transmit disease). We then discovered open containers of yogurt under his bed and roaches crawling around. It was beyond filthy.In a state of shock, we began checking the rest of the houseâand found bugs everywhere. Crawling on walls, especially around windows. The carpets were stained, there was rotted wood, exposed electrical wiring, and rusted fixtures. The house reeked of mildew and decay. It was completely unfit for human occupancy.We immediately left the property around midnight and had to book an emergency hotelâsomething no family should ever have to do on vacation. We contacted the host twice that night and sent multiple texts with pictures of the bugs and received zero response. Not even a courtesy message acknowledging our concern.This listing is a health hazard and should be removed from VRBO immediately. I wouldnât let my worst enemy stay here. Itâs uninhabitable, unsafe, and a total scam. If VRBO allows this place to remain listed, they are complicit in endangering guests.
We had a great stay at the Beach Bum! The beach front location is fabulous! We loved being able to walk right out onto the beach. It was amazing being able to hear the waves at night while you sleep. The house was nice and large. The kitched was well stocked with just about anything you would need for cooking. The dishes provided were beautiful vintage dishes. So fun!. We had no issues whatsoever during our stay. The only things I will mention is that the house looks as if it could use a little refurbishing and the deck does not have much shade, if any.
Nice home with a beautiful location. Needs carpet but it is pet friendly so I understand the stains. People should properly house train pets and not allow them to pee on someone else's floor with no regard for their home.
When we arrived at the property, we unloaded all of our food into the refrigerator. Unbeknownst to us, the refrigerator was not working. By the next morning our food was warm and melted in the freezer. The management company was contacted and brought us 3 Styrofoam coolers and ice to put all of our food in. The refrigerator was fixed later in the evening. At this point, we had lost a lot of food and spent a day of a 3 day vacation dealing with the property maintenance issues. We did not put our food back in the fridge as we were leaving the next day. We took our food home in the coolers as we assumed that they are good to go. They are Styrofoam coolers (10-12 each). The property management has since charged my credit card 42 for the coolers. This is absolutely ridiculous. They won't even respond to any contact to discuss as this was not told to us when they gave us the coolers that we had to leave them. How about I send you a bill for the food that we had to toss out? Baby Back Loins, ice cream, frozen foods, etc. Also, our food was waterlogged in the coolers too. Dealing with a repair at a rental is not good but we dealt with it. The company charging us for coolers that you provided so we could deal with your maintenance issue is an absolute poor business management and a NO for ever using this company!
We had a wonderful stay. Clean, bright and comfortable. Loved being right on the beach, hearing the ocean 24/7. Easy access to St. Augustine and Ponte Vedre. Would definitely recommend.
