it’s a duplex and the owners were downstairs using the house at the same time. Using the dock, had their dog out around the yard, and their boat in the front yard and in the back, blocking the water view. There were dog droppings throughout the backyard. (the listing was a no-dog house)
The first day the owners were in the bottom unit and their friends blocked our cars. We had to ask them to move the cars for us to leave. The owner had a fight with his boat mechanic using profanity. The owners had a loud party beneath us the first night. A total stranger knocked on our door late afternoon to ask if a crab pot was still in the kitchen from a party, they had there the night before.
All that could possibly be overlooked but inside we encounter a constant reminder that we were intruders in someone else’s home. There are 20-30 personal family frames all over the house. No space to speak of for our items due to the amount of personal Knick knacks scattered around the furniture. Which was mostly broken, damaged, or so old you could feel the springs when you sat. The closets have old sneakers and flip flops and a load of other personal items which made it difficult to put our stuff. The bed mattresses were lumpy and saggy. Not sure when the comforters were last washed but their aroma was not pleasing. When I checked out, I was shocked to discover that they wanted us to make the beds with the comforters so the beds would be made for the new owners. I believe we are still in a Covid stage where things are to be sanitized? The owner said he had the cheapest cleaning service on the island and they didn’t clean any of the bedding between guests. The house had a wet dog smell . They tried to cover it with a cheap plug-in air freshener which made it worse. The house cleanliness was below average so I ended up cleaning it before we even settled in. But the chipped kitchen floor, bathroom floor, and kitchen countertops made it hard to know what was dirt and what was just old. The carpet has seen better days and both the front and back decks are very questionable in terms of safety. The owner harassed us after we left. He badgered us about how our special needs child bothered him and his wife the first few nights there because he was talking to them and I should have told him before we rented the place that we had a special needs child?!! He said I should have told him before we rented that we had a special needs child.
