Cottage hadn’t even been cleaned when we arrived, disgusting and upsetting after a long trip. When we finally got through to the host? we were put up at a nice resort and had to wait in the morning until it was readied. The phone number on the key of course wasn’t the right one to contact him. Therefore we again had to pay for supper and breakfast even though we had picked up groceries the day before and lucky that we had a portable fridge. Flys+++, stinky garbage cans outside the door and holes in a window screen and the screen door which prevented us from opening them in very hot weather. TV not working unless I wanted to stream which I was told to do when we finally were told there was no satellite, which I don’t know how to do, we weren’t told about this and had to phone the host after getting new batteries for the remote which of course didn’t work as there was no satellite even though the directions for satellite were there. Had to put a new battery in the clock. Very disorganized kitchen, not enough towels for 3 people for the week. Carpet needs to be cleaned. Not even any salt and pepper or enough paper towels and toilet paper which are basics. Smoke alarm was too high for us to test it. No instruction how to separate garbage for us Ontarions.
The beach was dirty, needs to be raked occasionally and not even any beach chairs. No way would we ever swim in the water!
The place we stayed at 2 years ago had all of this and more and was immaculate and half the cost. Every time we were outside we were being
bitten by some sort of bug so couldn’t even sit out, maybe spraying needs to be done. I’m sure there is more, very dissatisfying. No follow up call from the host even though he mentioned making it up to us with some oysters, yeah sure! We have tried to contact him since we got home to no avail as we were encouraged to do, so we do expect some compensation and we will never book with VRBO again unless we are. I was actually happy to get home and have never felt like that after a holiday! Thank goodness for PEI itself.
