5 nights but would have moved on day 1 had that been an option.
As soon as we entered we smelled mold, it was after hours so we waited to call the management company until AM to discuss. The next day management sent a cleaning supervisor out to investigate the smell, once inside we were told that we were just not used to the "island" smell and that this was normal. The housekeeping manager sprinkled some deodorizer around and ran the disposable before leaving. I have been coming to Port A for 4 decades and never stayed in a place that smelled moldier, island smell!!!
Once housekeeping left, we called the management to discuss options to move to another property, between the time we checked in and our housekeeping visit we noticed several other issues with the property. Life if Paradise had no recourse for us and told us that if they helped us find another property the owner would ask them for some compensation since there was nothing seriously wrong with the property.
At this point we had noted the mold smell, no place for dogs to poop even though the place is listed as pet friendly, no poop bags, overflowing trash cans in courtyard, dumpster had trash all around it including a broken washing machine, bathrooms had pubic hair in them, tubs stained, dirty plastic shower curtains, stained linens and bedding, stained couches, broken toileted paper fixture, broken closet door, and to top it off broken beds. Sorry, can’t help you, the owner will get mad was the reply from Life in Paradise.
3 beach days in and several air fresheners later my wife discovers the source of the “island’ smell! Black water is leaking out from under the kitchen sink, so I again called Life in Paradise manager Josh, this time I let him know what and why it smells in our unit and ask him to follow up with me to discuss compensation. We had already placed a bucket under the sink to stop the leaking and were not interested in moving with only 1.5 days left in our stay so I advised Josh to follow up with the owner and then get back to me. That was over a week ago, I followed up with an email and vx mail 5 days ago and have still not heard back. This is the first time I have had a bad experience at any VRBO in Port A, I have another trip booked in Nov and have stayed in 6 other VRBO properties on the island. Life in Paradise management couldn't help us get another place without fear of reprisal from ownership.
