Pros: I loved the time with my family which was the best part of the stay! The house is a good size as is the yard with plenty of space and a large pool. Cons: During our stay we encountered (inside) a urine stained comforter, a live cockroach, a live lizard, an electrical outlet faceplate missing with exposed wiring, faulty lights inside the home and garage, and a HUGE spiderweb in the corner of the eating area of the kitchen. (Outside): broken/rotted pool toys, old garbage along fence, and a huge lack of clean up from the palm trees. Our dog ate (what I know now) the sweet fruit like balls that had fallen off of the tree and were laying all around the base on the ground. They hadn’t been cleaned up before our arrival nor were we ever made aware of them even being there. A few days later, our dog had to have emergency surgery to remove one of the hard palm pits from his stomach before it entered his intestines and could have killed him. He is OK now, but the surgery cost us $5000! The homeowner and/or VRBO would not accept any responsibility, and stated that we should have cleaned them up before our dog got to them? Completely unacceptable as both the previous renters as well as myself were required to pay hundreds of dollars in cleaning fees. The homeowner also said that I never paid a pet fee and also signed a waiver. Our dog is an ESA (no fees per VRBO) and I did mention bringing him in my very first email to her.
Pet owners please be wary of this!!!
