Arriving at this rental the evening of our appointed stay, we saw that the house and it's furnishings were simple in design. The online pictures were deceiving as were many other features we would soon discover. The furniture was more like what one would expect from yard sales or your local Goodwill. Old, worn and no apparent décor theme. There were leak spots on the ceiling; electrical wiring was mounted on interior walls through piping to outlets that were not recessed; the bathroom was old and grommet was dirty; shower and sink/shelf needed deep cleaning; a towel on the towel rack looked very much like it had been used and placed upon the stack of towels where it dried rumpled and stiff; the entire house had a musty odor; expect no TV stations, but several outdated DVD movies were available for use; the 2nd bedroom linoleum was peeling from the floor (we shut the door to it);windowsills were dirty; rather than a built-in closet, a free standing 'partition' stood in one corner of the main bedroom with a makeshift homemade curtain for use as a 'door'; all shelves and table or floor lamps were dust covered; the bed sheets/covers did not appear to be clean but was hard to tell as the bed was made poorly. We arrived at 8:30 PM and by approximately 12:30 AM we repacked everything to vacate despite being exhausted from travel. WHY? you may further ask? The final straw came while attempting to fall asleep, my husband and I heard a quite audible HUGE scurrying noise preceded by a LOUD SQUEAK. A RAT - mice do not make this magnitude of noise - ran across the wooden bedroom floor! (I cannot make this up!) We bolted straight up in bed, discussed our options and packed up the vehicle. With the owner living next door, we summoned him to his front door. He arrived in a tank t-shirt and boxers. He left to put on jeans and we explained why we could not stay. We stated that we did not live this way...in filth and with rat(s). Furthermore, we shared that we had seen an adult cockroach in the house upon leaving. It does not take a rocket scientist to know that where there is ONE COCKROACH there are more to follow. We demanded to be reimbursed. The owner did so in a timely manner, but apparently he did not understand that we expected a FULL refund of $80, not $40. I guess he felt that a charge of $40 was okay for the mere 3 hours spent there. VRBO requires a reason for refunding. He wrote,"Renter was not happy with the house." REALLY?!? A definite CON.
