It is heartbreaking to see how the owners of this house have let it fall apart. It is unethical that Vacasa rents it, knowing full well that it is falling apart. We were greeted each morning by mouse droppings on the kitchen table and on the dining room floor. There were ants crawling across the kitchen counter when we arrived, and in the basement bedroom. But that was just the start. The ancient oven door did not close, so it never adequately heated up. The range top was so old (at least 40 years), all of the knob indicators were worn off, so it was impossible to tell if you were cooking on high or low (electric stove, so you couldn't see flames). The refrigerator door did not close because the interior drawers were broken and blocked it. The clothes dryer did not work. Period. Despite the listing that claims a deck, a balcony, and a fenced in yard, there is no deck, no yard, and a locked door onto the balcony with a sign that says OUT OF ORDER. Because it was impossible to open the balcony door, there is no ventilation upstairs in the house (main living area). Very few windows open. It was 59-degrees and very sunny, and a stuffy 75-degrees in the house. I feel for anyone who stays there when it is 60-degrees and above outside.
In short, this is a house with a great view, that should be taken off the rental market until it is operational. Every appliance needs to be replaced, the deck needs to be repaired so that you can breathe if you are indoors trying to take in the view, the lock needs to be fixed so that you don't have to worry every time you leave the house that your belongings will be stolen, and the mouse problem needs to be addressed.
