The booking process was OK, but a few things quite weren’t. The apartment has a fairly small bedroom but is advertised as “sleeps 4” - apparently that’s pertaining to two mattresses in the closet to be put up in the living room.
Would not have mattered that much by itself but the main pool (major feature of it all) was under construction a few days after we got there.
But still that would have been bearable.
What really took the cake was that they shut off the power the whole last day of our stay (and the water until 12 noon).
But the worst of it was that they apparently meant to speed the power issue up by working on the electrical distribution boxes all night - and those were located about 15 ft away from our room, so we had construction din (hammering, clanking, sawing), loud chatter and music for free the whole night before embarking on a long haul trip back.
Manager said the owner was advised not to take any bookings for that day, owner said he’d be lying.... Great! Communication with the owner was very difficult and the cleaner she promised who would come at 4 the next day showed up at 1 pm. Did text her many times about the probs but she apparently shunned the argument.
VRBO was jut much help either, unfortunately, as they first said this would warrant a refund if I sent all the footage (pics, audio and video clips) in but then I never heard back from them. One email even said their “mailbox was full”....
In summary, the place is nice, really good location, albeit a little far from the beach. We would go there again but definitely not with “Dr. Beth” and will seriously think twice before booking with VRBO again.
Many thanks,.
