The master smelled bad Was not very happy with the experience. ##### maggie g. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kenneth S. 19 Oct 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Pictures are deceiving The pictures promote the hot tub. After arriving, I asked and got a delayed response that the hot tub was inoperable. The door to both the pool and broken hot tub was near impossible to open. I reported the door to the owner on the Vrbo app and the owner never responded nor addressed the door. We have used Vrbo for numerous vacations with no issues. I’m extremely upset and am considering no longer using Vrbo moving forward. We moved to another property to complete our vacation and never did receive a call back from Vrbo when I asked for help to find an alternative property. ##### Kenneth S.
