It was Clean, spacious and quiet

We stopped just for the night halfway to our beach vacation. It was a beautiful area, and we loved the older historic homes. Something important to us was feeling safe near downtown, and we arrived at 12:30am and felt completely safe the entire time. The beds were super comfortable!

We walked in + immediately smelled urine. I messaged the host who dropped off 2 sprays on the porch. I sprayed + the smell broke through in no time. I found large pieces of debris on the floor + spots/grime on the walls, counters + floor, some unidentifiable + some looked like blood. There were Raid bug strips hanging from 2 ceiling fixtures. I was shocked to see a message from the host asking that I let him know at the end of our stay where the urine was coming from + that I still give 5 stars. I asked how to cancel + get a refund. He wrote that I was being hostile + retaliatory since he wouldn’t let me out of my reservation. (I had tried to cancel right after booking, but moved forward when he wouldn’t issue a refund.) He then advised me to cancel on the app. I confirmed he meant I could cancel + receive a refund. He wrote that he didn’t want me to stay if I wasn’t happy. Before I had a chance to call VRBO, VRBO called me. As it turns out, the host had contacted VRBO while we were finding a new hotel, driving across town + checking in. I realized that the host called first to offer an incorrect story. He said there was no urine smell + we hadn’t even checked in, both of which were untrue. The host never came in the house to smell what we smelled. We have proof of checking in from the pictures I sent in + from our messages on the site. This was the worst rental experience. The uncleanliness was bad enough; the host lying to keep from refunding our money is unconscionable.

This was the perfect place to stay for a friends wedding. An adorable house with two parking spots. It was quiet and clean. My only critique is that we needed more towels for showers, but we managed. Great place!

We were only in town for a night for a concert, but it was such a great location, we wished we could stay longer. The home is in a historic district surrounded by other beautiful historic homes with such charm and character.
