We are long time Vrbo users and to a certain extent, qualified to make helpful assessments of the properties we have visited over the last 20 years. With any property first impressions are very important. The photos of the property were carefully placed, in that they had were shot to avoid the many "rough" conditions of the property. When we arrived the storm door had broken away from the hinge, so I went to the hardware store to replace the missing screws. Once through the severely damaged lock threshold, it did have a great beach view, But you had to get past the rusted beach chairs and air conditioner cover, in plain view. (that was after walking across the worn stained carpet). The bathroom, although clean in appearance, was a bit overshadowed by the rust from the faucets and hole in the back of the door from the poorly placed door stop. The other concerning item not directly connected to the residence itself, was the intrusive emails from VueStay requesting further identification and credit card information in the event of damage to the property. I am not sure how one would consider "damage" to the property, since we had to repair the aforementioned front door. In all, the property could be a very classic stay, if the owner would simply "freshen up"even the most obvious questionable issues and just put in a little effort. It does not reflect well on Vrbo, but then as I said, it was only one out of many stays.
