2/10 Terrible

Customer BEWARE
The VRBO listing photos are of an architecture drawing. It looks new, beautiful, and a true lake escape. Consumer beware. It is the opposite. It is quite worn, dirty, a need of some major TLC and elbow grease.
The place was filthy, curtains stained, blinds dirty and some broke, food stains on wall next to oven, oven burners dirty, windows so dirty the beautiful view was obstructed, refrigerator dented, & mirrors not cleaned. The sheets were extremely worn. Property owners were not interested in fixing the problem because they were not close to property. I will say toilet and shower were clean with hot water.
My husband and I have travelled and stayed in rentals for over 30 years. This is the second worse place I have had to pay for.
I ended up spending the evening cleaning sliding door windows & bedroom windows to glean the sliver of ocean view to the right of patio.
There is a kayak, but only one on a trailer, and the home is on a hill. We did not have a vehicle to hook up the trailer.
Also, if you are not a local or a kiwi familiar with the VRBO, bring food or be prepared for a 30-minute drive into nearest town. The local fish and chips restaurant was outstanding.
I do feel we deserved a discounted price, but I am sure this will not happen, as I never received a text back to the request.
If you ever traveled across the ocean on a 16 -hour flight to our home, I would be appalled if I left our place in that condition to first timers to our country.
