New Bern Family Outing

I have stayed at many VRBO properties and always been very happy with the bookings. However, although this home was beautiful there were certain things we were unhappy about. The house was not stocked with the usual supplies, no cleaning supplies, no dishwasher detergent, no bathroom supplies, etc. The master bathroom was beautiful but the upstairs bathrooms really need some updating. There was someone living permanently over the garage (which we didn’t know about) and we felt odd sitting outside. The backyard was extremely littered and the fire pit was very unkempt. There was construction right next door (unaware of this) and we were woken up early every morning by machines and yelling. But, the very worst thing is we found an orange bug (cockroach?) crawling around the master bedroom bed.
