Bottom line... if you stay here, be sure to get a ROACH free or your money-back guarantee! Keep reading to learn of my experience and how the owner treated us after our stay.
As soon as my family and I walked into the house, we noticed a very odd smell. It was a cross between cigarette smoke and an old musty cellar. There was an attempt to cover up the odor as we noticed the Scentsy candles were on and other unlit candles were scattered throughout the house. We ignored the smell and went on with our weekend.
That evening we encountered our first set of roaches. As my daughter was getting ready for bed, she brushed her teeth and set her toothbrush on the master bedroom vanity. An hour later, my wife went into the bathroom, turned on the light, and saw cochroaches scatter away from the toothbrush. It was late, so we left the light on in the bathroom to keep them from returning, checked the rest of the bedroom and went to sleep.
The next morning, we encountered our second set of bugs: ants and more roaches. I went to the kitchen to make coffee and found ants in the sink swarmed over the smallest speck of food. The ant trail went along the counter and all the way up the kitchen window. I did my best to kill as many as I could so we could get breakfast ready. My father had opened two packages of bacon and had them on the counter when the cochroaches came out in broad daylight for a morning treat. This was one of the grossest beginnings to a morning I've ever had.
We stayed here on a Saturday through a Monday, over Memorial Day weekend 2012. We attempted to contact the owner of the house on Sunday, but were unable to reach her. My father had pre-paid for the entire weekend and as disgusting as the house was, we stuck out our stay. My father did leave a letter for the owner explaining our experience in her home. The two even exchanged emails. Unfortunately, the owner didn't believe our story about the roaches, ignoring the fact there were roach traps under every sink in the entire house and admitted the house had been sprayed for something 3 weeks prior. The owner did not fulfill my fathers request of at least one night's refund.
Moral of my story... DON'T RENT A DOUBLE WIDE!
I can not recommend this house to anyone nor will I recommend or use VRBO.com in the future. Who knows how many other houses are on this site like this one???
