One review below pretty much hit every point and complaint. Parked in 1 of 2 designated spots to see overflowing trash cans, odor flies and gnats everywhere. Walked into cottage to a musty smell. Old car fresheners hanging everywhere as well as glade air fresheners. Doors walls and light switches filthy, in need need of painting or at least decent wiping down and scrubbing. Carpets dingy and stained.need to be replaced. Table and counters obviously not wiped. I used roughly 6 plus Clorox wipes, all but last came out gray. Sofas and table chairs just as grimy, worn and in need of replacing. Blinds bent or broken, drawers broke or missing, doors didn't close properly. Bedding stained. Tub and restroom floors had hair. We had to walk in sandals or socks and place towels over bedding because we were so grossed out. And that was after spraying down entire house with disinfectant spray. And I cannot leave out the insects. Not just gnats, flies but those tiny little roaches in cabinets, stove and microwave.. Outside bbq pit was left with idk what that was charred and stuck to grill and holes at bottom of pit which made it impossible to cut of airflow. Then there is the issue of wasps. I saw at least two at the cottage and there is obviously one under the pier as wasps were flying all around us.
One thing I can say for sure is cleaning is not done correctly or with chemicals. Prior to leaving I sprayed the cleaning solution under the sink to clean tub and counters and the entire house smelled like bleach. Which is what I should have walked into.
Location is nice and cottages have potential. A little money needs to be spent to do some updating, fixing , painting and fumigation. And I hate leaving these type of reviews but being a long time VRBO guest as well and having to pay "cleaning" fees is a bit ridiculous when I have to clean myself.
