Had an unusual VRBO experience. There are two units side by side. The owner sent several lengthy emails and a rambling voicemail with multiple changes before I arrived. The unit I was supposed to stay in had shower plumbing problems, a slow drain, so they were having me stay in the "nicer" unit. I arrived after dark. The porch lights do not work which added a challenge to entry. When I went to shower before bed, I found the shower had no water. I called owner and he tried to help by having me shower in the other unit as it was unoccupied. This means traipsing over to the other unit in the dark. Not very relaxing on a getaway. The drain was not working in the second unit, but at least it had water. He sent his young daughter to assist and she was clearly unprepared to manage a plumbing concern. The furnishings were lackluster. They definitely seem to be cast offs from college days. Uncomfortable. The kitchen items and appliances were also used castoffs not in the best condition Sprinklers hit the window waking me up in the night, but the plants out front were dead/dying. Once dawn came I could see that the yard was a mess with camper and trailer vintage boat thing parked in the back. There was a disappointing disconnect from the advertised "castle" and the reality. This was very different from all the other properties I've stayed at through VRBO. I think what it boils down to is this owner seems to be in it for the business aspect, with little to no interest in the hospitality factor. It's not their "passion" and it shows. In my opinion, no Dad should be putting a young daughter into situations where great expectations have been placed upon her that she is clearly unengaged with and unprepared to handle and maintain. It makes for uncomfortable all the way around, daughter, dad, and.....guests.
