Our stay at this home initially seemed pleasant, but it ultimately turned into a total nightmare. When my wife went to shower in the master bathroom, we noticed very soon after that there was water pouring into the downstairs level. We located a crack in the shower floor, which appeared to be missing the foam underlay, which would have been necessary for a correct shower install. As you can see in the photos of the water damage to the downstairs ceiling, this was a long-standing issue.We took every precaution to minimize the damage, including catching the water as it fell, drying the mess in the basement, and not using the shower for the rest of our stay. I immediately contacted the owner to report the issue, thinking we were all on the same page. They thanked me for the heads-up and didn’t express any concern at the time. Fast forward TWO WEEKS, and I get hit with a 1,500 fine for “damaging” the shower, and now I'm expected to pay for a full replacement!Let me be clear: we did not cause the damage. It was a pre-existing, neglected maintenance problem that any responsible host should have addressed long before my stay. Instead, this owner is trying to push their repair costs onto paying guests. No proof was provided that we damaged the property.If you’re considering this rental, beware: you might get stuck footing the bill for their lack of upkeep. There are plenty of great hosts on VRBO—this one is NOT among them.
