If you want a relaxing vacation, expect anything BUT relaxing. On the way to this rental, many of the roads were falling apart due to the past hurricane. So prepare for a drive that makes you feel like you are in the beginning of a horror movie. This of course is not the owners fault.
Owners fault: Check-in was anytime after 12:00pm. We came here for our honeymoon, ready to relax. We arrived around 5:00pm to find an empty case of beer outside the front door, a tricycle outside, a car, and a whole family inhabiting this vacation rental. As they looked at us like we had 5 heads, the owner- Todd- had no idea we were coming. He thought we were coming on Sept 23- Friday when our reservation was Sept 19-Monday (not even close to accurate). As he went in his house, he realized he made a mistake and offered to treat us to dinner while this house was cleaned quickly in an hour. This house was suppose to be cleaned up professionally by a maid, not quickly by the owner and his wife and kid. We felt very uncomfortable with the whole situation. Advising Todd we were not going to stay because of his mistake, he did give back the full refund; but refused to give us back the deposit saying he was insulted we asked for this back. Once again, this was his mistake and we were insulted in the unprofessional business operations he has.
From the outside of the house, I do not even know where he took some of these pictures from. Perhaps Photoshop helped. We did not even want to see inside the house, but I assure you this is ANYTHING BUT A HOLIDAY, BUT AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE IN THIS RENTAL HOME.
This is NOT a vacation home. Instead, this is a home that a family lives in and when someone happens to rent it, they go elsewhere for the time being (very creepy).
I am one that never writes complaints about people or services, but I do not want other people to fall into the same situation we fell for, expecting a beautiful relaxing vacation and getting the complete opposite. Save your money, and stay at home before renting anything from Todd Nation.
