I was highly disappointed with the property manager, from incomplete responses to no response prior to arrival, that quite evidently, carried over to a vendetta that negatively impacted our experience. Upon check-in there was a parade of horribles, we were taken through the home and threatened with numerous items "if you break it, you buy it." As a fellow VRBO member I understand owners want to keep their properties nice, it is common knowledge if you cause damage, you are responsible. At this price point or any price point for that matter, owners are able to choose who to rent to and are fully aware if there will be families with children. I expect the property to be in good repair, clean, and management to be courteous and professional. If management is concerned that "children wet the bed" then mattress covers should be on the beds before arrival. I believe mattress covers from a hygiene perspective should be standard regardless of children being a guest. The lack of cleanliness was from mega trash at the head of the bunk beds between the wall and the bed, dirty stove, grill, torn sheet on bed, and significant disrepair. Probably none of this (and more) I would have focused on had the property manager been helpful, a pleasure to work with, professional and welcoming to my family.
This property is located in an absolutely beautiful setting and we immensely enjoyed the views, watching the surfers, walking down the beach to get something to eat, and playing in the ocean!
