This is a battle between evil and justice. I will not yield to your false accusations and coercion. You try to extort me, demanding a refund after living in my home for 3 days saying if I don't comply, you threaten to defame me and the house online in the review screaming; 'if you don't give me some money back I'm going to blow up your review!" Such despicable behavior is outrageous! I've been in the vacation rental business over a decade and I've never experienced anything this bad. All my clients reviews are enough to proove that I'm an excelent host and my houses are incredibly comfortable. It seems now, this renter was looking for reasons to complain that day, and the rest of the weekento set herself up for a refund on some monies because weather wise the entire weekend was a bust, 50's & non stop raining the entire 3 days and nights. First morning I get a call; "you need to get here right now because the dishwasher is not working and its filthy with food all over the inside of it!" I was there in less than 20 minutes. I'd cleaned the dishwasher, Myself, that morning before check-in. And yes, the dishwasher was filthy with food and inoperable because they had filled the dishwasher with very dirty dishes full of food and because she had a pair 12" tongs hanging down from the upper basket and another one sticking up from the silverware basket preventing the water dispenser from spinning freely and with 10 "adults"(?) already inebriated (a months worth of alcohol on the breakfast bar) at 10 in the morning not one of them could figure this out by themselves. So I showed her, straightened it out and ran the dishwasher on the most powerful and longest 3 hour setting. Then she screams, "the showers don't work!". So I show her the showers working. She says they wont switch from the handheld to water from the wall close to the same height. (WTH!?). But I called my handyman unfreeze the shower valves, on a Sunday. Meanwhile, I go out to the pool and it's rained so much that the pool was about to overflow leaving the skimmer box filter inoperable and thus leaving the pool eventually unsafe for swimming. So, I have to drain 1000 gallons of water out of the pool and then balance all the chemicals in the pool from all that rain. An enormous undertaking. All the while, they're drinking and smoking cannabis on the back deck next to the kitchen, dining room, great room, WITH THE DOOR OPEN (in the morning! Believe me when I say" I'd already seen and heard enough! Let alone wanting to "spy" on this ridiculous circus. I was very uncomfortable being there so I parked my car as far away from our home as possible (just to be sure I couldn't see what I'd already seen or worse), in my car, in the cold and pouring rain, waiting for the dishwasher to cycle out, going back and forth to the pool (through the gate, not the house) to check on the all that water being pumped out and after that, trying to adjust the chemicals and waiting 30 minutes to test the chemicals each time, again while also waiting for my handyman to show up and do the adjustment on already working showers while she went out somewhere. Of course I was still there when she came home a couple hours later. When she got home, she called me screaming and yelling "why are you still here!? "You're spying on us!" I tried to explain to her that the only reason I was still there was because she called me there about a dishwasher that wasn't done cycling yet that she made malfunction, draining 1000 gallons from the pool plus trying to adjust/balance the chemicals and waiting for handyman to show up to fix working showers to her satisfaction. She just kept yelling and screaming that I was spying on them (while I'm trying to put out of my mind what I'd already seen was already way too much for me. So, I left, dishwasher running, pool as is, canceled the handyman. Hoping that this nightmare wouldn't get any worse, I never went back there again until they checked out. They left the house smelling like burnt natural gas fumes (because they used the gas fireplace in the living room with the flue closed which probably caused the smoke alarms to chirp and the burnt gas smell), burnt cannabis smell and burnt grease smell (could've also cause the smoke detectors to chirp), We opened all the windows and doors for a couple days to air out our home and never once heard a smoke detector chirp. (we were never got a call about smoke detectors chirping, ever, their food was everywhere causing ants and our decks are not slippery, especially in a hard perpetual rain, if you' sober. A pocket door to a bathroom is off the track, a wok in a kitchen cabinet with burnt grease & food still in it, and our teenage son finding cannabis buds on a bedroom floor. These are all appalling behavior. The renter even tried to use despicable means to blackmail us into giving them a refund! We are even more grateful now, to all our previous & future wonderful families we welcome to stay at our home.
