This property was not that special. We were there on an off season weekend. For the sum we paid, the home should have been perfect. It was not. It lacked charm and comfort. No extra blankets or pillows. The bedding was unsuitable. Most bedrooms had bare walls, not a single picture/painting. Upstairs rooms tiny, upstairs bath even smaller. Knowing that the home was not rented in the days prior to our arrival, we asked for a few hours early check in. We received no response. There is an old, bulky padlock on a cabinet right next to the fireplace. VRBO says that clients will never feel they are staying in someone else’s home. The locked cabinet says otherwise. Patio was not swept or watered down prior to our arrival. Barbecue filthy, uncleaned - only 1 of 3 burners operable. The whole outside of the house was dirty. The place inside and out is in need of a paint job. Proximity to the beach, yes. Luxury, no. The furnishings are at least 20 years old. For the price, we expected a lot more. It was not a pleasure.
