The communication with the host was good and the house was located a in good area for the things we had planned. Unfortunately, the property had several things that needed addressing: door handles throughout the home needed tightening (which we tightened), remotes not working (we replaced batteries and progressive them to work), the room designated as the master bedroom would not cool properly like the rest of the home so we had to run the fan most of the time, the rug in the master makes it difficult to close the bathroom door, the pocket door on the hall bath would not lock, the hallway and hallway closets had a moldy/mildew smell, and the kitchen was lacking in essentials (such as: pots, pan, cutting board, baking pans, etc.). The property was highly marketed for its pool and unfortunately the handrail for the only entry/exit to the pool was broken upon our arrival. I reported it immediately and it was not fixed during our 7 day stay. I asked for a portion of the rental fee to be refunded because the pool was the primary focus of the property listing and because I unable to use the pool safely due to the broken handrail (no refund received). Also, they need better pest control inside and outside of the property. We saw roaches inside and encountered a flea problem outside and some inside. I believe VRBO needs to address these problems with the host/owners for the health and safety of vacationers.
