A rental property should be where a family and/or friends come to have an enjoyable and memorable vacation. Everything about this place leads one to the inescapable conclusion that the owner couldn’t care less about whether or not his property contributes to an enjoyable and memorable vacation; he is merely interested in taking your money. Very little, if any, of that money appears to have been recycled back into his rental property.
The furniture in the living area was pretty grungy – at least one of the chairs was partially broken – and a couple of the chairs in the kitchen were also partially damaged. Various blinds were broken or non-functional – including the main blind in the master bedroom, which was stuck about half way up the window – and it was apparent that they had been broken for some time (as noted in previous reviews). The dinnerware in the kitchen included mostly scratched and cloudy plastic glasses – some genuine wine/beer/water glasses (available at very low cost from IKEA, for example) would have been nice – and some of the flatware was also pretty beaten up (knives with damaged handles, for example).
The gas grill on the rear deck *appeared* to work (after some experimentation), but an inspection of the space below the grilling area revealed a completely broken and filthy drip pan. A hilariously tiny charcoal grill that I half-thought might have come from a child’s camping play-set was supplied as a back-up but, given the use of charcoal up here in the summer is frequently banned (for obvious and good reason), it’s completely worthless, irrespective of size.
Half way through our stay, the WiFi went down. Since the router was in a locked cupboard (no key available. Why not?), not even Vacasa’s best efforts to reset it remotely could resolve the situation. The Vacasa rep finally reached the owner who told her that he didn’t know where the key for the cupboard was, and the situation was ultimately resolved by Vacasa organizing a locksmith to come out to open said cupboard so the router could be accessed and the internet reset. Oh, and the hot tub stopped working on day 4 of our stay and had to be re-started as well.
I would avoid this place until the owner decides to drop some money into upgrading several aspects of the property, fixing a number of things that are broken and making the rental experience overall a much more pleasant one. You deserve better for your hard-earned vacation and dollars.
