Not accurate as advertised or equipped as advertised

It was obvious the house was in need of professional work, DIY was very obvious. This four bedroom house that sleeps 11 only had three forks. The kitchen was very sparse, but large. It was a good the store was close that we were able to stock up on plastic and paper products. Unfortunately, this was our Thanksgiving meal with the family. However, the space was large with a beautiful backdrop.

Needs a little more renovation

The draw of this property is the dock and you cannot even hear the road noise from the back. Unfortunately, the renovations are incomplete, the interior lighting is abysmal, and the deck is unwalkable due to the bird poop. If the owners power wash the deck, clean/replace the sofa, replace the kitchen flooring, and add more interior lighting - this place can shine.

Very poor

The original address we opted for while booking on June 10 2023 was something and Then on July 21 morning around 7 AM , I received an email saying that the original property which I chose would not be available and another option would be available. And at this instance, me and my friend's family were already on the way and in no ideal situation to take a look at the alternate property wisely.We had taken a lot of effort choosing the first property keeping kids and families in mind. The description in vrbo claims that it has a waterfront deck open and shareable. But when we took our kids to the deck especially to the long boardwalk, we noticed it was shaky and broken(as attached). And also , there were issues like the bathroom located near the kitchen did not have the latch for closing it from inside. There were no porch lights, it becomes even worse when we are having toddlers. The location had an image of the extended walk on to the bay. When we wanted to go to the deck another person didn’t allow us and told its his property. We did not find basic kitchen groceries I.e. salt,sugar,etc which usually we get after check in. The master bedroom bathroom didn’t have a latch. There were parking issues. There was wrong charges charged to my card while booking and I was told that would be refunded immediately after check out but it had been now more than couple of weeks but no refund is processed.
