This was my 5th trip to FL & my 2nd VRBO stay. I chose this home because it was updated, close to Disney, & included a washer/dryer. Initially, the owner was friendly & easy to communicate. However, check-in process was frustrating. Instead of sending instructions directly through VRBO messages, a PDF was sent that I never received despite multiple attempts. Eventually had to change my email address & provide direct email address before receiving important check-in details. Upon arrival, there was a strong musty/moldy odour throughout the house. The washing machine, which was an important reason for booking, was coated in brown residue and smelled heavily of mold, making it unusable even after attempting to clean it ourselves. Additional issues included: dust buildup throughout the home, dirty countertops, windows, walls, furniture & patio tracks, bedding and towels that smelled unclean, worn mattresses & low-quality beds, dirty/dusty-smelling sofa, lint filled dirty hair dryer, broken toaster. At first, I tried handling the cleaning issues myself, but eventually contacted the owner with photos and concerns. Communication became inconsistent, & some concerns were dismissed. We also did not always feel comfortable during our stay due to a stranger who came to the patio. VRBO was helpful. In the end, we decided to leave early for other accommodations. Owner provided a significant partial refund, which I appreciated but I still feel it’s important to leave honest review.
