Although advertised as contactless check in the owner insisted on meeting me at the property, which made the arrival inconvenient. Upon receiving the keys I was informed the ice machine was not working. Since my family and I were in Annapolis for a lacrosse tournament and it was close to 100 degrees each day this was a problem . Later I received a text from the owner stating the dishwasher had broken two weeks earlier so we had to spend several hours a day washing the mismatched plates and glasses at the home. Had she informed me ahead of time I could have booked another home.
The house was infested with ants, the carpets were dank and stained. The bathrooms were small and although advertised as full baths did not have bath tubs. The furniture was mismatched and old and the beds were small with hard mattresses. There was a decent TV downstairs and a tiny TV in the master bedroom. The TV on the second floor could not be used because the power cord was missing. But don’t expect to watch TV anyway because you can’t even get ESPN.
The lone bright spot was that the views of the Bay were quite nice and the entire back the of the house was glass.
While the stay itself was subpar after check out was horrific. I was shocked to receive a message stating that only a small portion of the security deposit was being refunded. The owner claimed a window was cracked, a Bathroom towel rod was damaged and an extra cleaning fee was being charged. I informed her that no windows were even touched during our stay but that the towel rod had fallen one night. Interestingly there was a hurricane the day we checked out yet the owner claimed the damage was our fault. I asked for documentation of the damages but she refused to provide any. It is illegal to charge a fee for a service animal, and we purchased the required insurance for damages, but regardless she deemed it appropriate to charge us a ridiculous amount for these three items. She has also failed to provide any documentation of these damages to VRBO.
If you are in the market for an overpriced, bug infested, poorly maintained cabin with a nice view this is the place for you. Budget losing the security deposit though since the owner will try to steal it from you.
