4/10
The good part first: the house is charming and well air-conditioned, lots of areas to gather with family. Pool is great. Unfortunately the host went absolutely no contact after the first day. The trash outside had not been picked up for at least a week when we arrived, probably two, and was swarming with flies and maggots. No answer on if it was going to be picked up, what we should do about it. Raccoons got into the old trash and spread it around the property, which we picked up ourselves to spare the neighbors but man, that was disgusting. I attempted to contact Mark on the VRBO app, text messages and calls multiple times but nothing for the full four days (even though his voicemail was active). We ended up buying industrial size contractor bags and keeping our garbage in there indoors. We made the call to leave them in the air conditioned house so the animals wouldn't get at them again, but this has been such a frustrating and not trustworthy experience that I'm frankly worried we're going to get some kind of penalty for not following checkout directions. It's a bummer because the property really is nice and unique. But with a family reunion, trash piling up and no ability to communicate for our whole trip really put a damper on it for the whole group.
