Worst VRBO stay ever!!!
False advertising!!! If you look below at my message to the property manager on 4/4/22 it kinda sums it up. Tried to review at the time but wasn’t given that option!!! Getting a refund was a huge hassle also but thanks to VRBO backup we finally received a refund. However, the costs and frustrations involved in this transaction can never be recouped!!!! Hi Andrea, We are very disappointed in this vacation rental and are not able to stay in a place like this. The entire kitchen/dining area surrounded with windows has no blinds and leaves us with no privacy. The views out one side are of the back of a restaurant and the other side has a house under construction directly behind the fence that borders someone else’s back yard. Horrible!!! Not at all as advertised onVRBO. There is no dishwasher,oven,garbage disposal, dryer…etc. The stairs to the door are much steeper than the pictures show and there are gaps under the fences/gates where our little dogs can escape. NOT DOG FRIENDLY AT ALL!!! We can not stay here and are requesting a refund from you before we contact VRBO. We have stayed at many vacation homes and have never had such a bad experience.

Poor communication
VRBO rep Amelia never responded to any of the three attempts I made to communicate my dissatisfaction with the unit. The property manager never responded to my initial attempts to communicate with him re: a very powerful insecticide odor. The place had water leaks in the ceiling from the unit above. That same unit above was noisy. The nearest restaurant, Miramar, closes at 7pm. Poor experience altogether.

Great location
This property is perfectly situated and exactly what we were looking for to have a relaxing getaway. Loved the fenced in yard for my dogs, and I really enjoyed being walking distance from the beach and dining. The carpet was a little stained, but honestly that made me just worry less about having my dogs with me. I also question how recently the hot tub had been cleaned because it did have a little funk/smell to it. The host was friendly, but I let them know that there was a lot of garbage left from the last person to stay there, and no one ever came to pick it up in the week that I was there. I let them know after a raccoon got into the garbage and spread it around the yard, and I had to go out and clean it all up. Overall, though, that was one small thing that didn’t ruin the trip for me.

Not A Bungalow
First, this is a large home with three floors. About 2/3 of the middle floor is dedicated to this rental and it is wrongly described as a bungalow. You walk up a flight of stairs to get to the unit. The owners (or other guests) are living above, below and beside you. There are two locked doors in the living room and one locked door off the bedroom next to the tiny bathroom. We could hear voices and other noises beyond the doors which really freaked out our dogs. We could also hear footsteps and plumbing from the floor above us. We were three adult family members having a reunion and this rental didn't work for us. The hot tub was already heated, but the water was unfiltered. When the jets were turned on small dead bugs were abundant in the water. My son took the time to wipe down and clean the sides of the tub and then turned on the filter. After awhile the water cleared and we enjoyed the clean water. There is limited privacy in the spa and BBQ area and a few times when we looked up (or down) at the house, a woman was looking right back at us. There were no towels for the spa or beach; fortunately we brought our own. The tiny bathroom had three bath towels only. We used the washer/dryer combination to wash towels. The process took well over 5 hours. The sofas and TV in the living room were cozy and inviting. The fold out bed was a typical fold out bed -- we brought an aerobed. Photos of the unit showed a wine opener in a drawer but it wasn't there or anywhere in the unit. The restaurant had already closed so we followed an online video on creative ways to open wine. The outdoor grill looked good, but the tiny sink and counter in the corner of the kitchenette area inside made us dread the thought of the clean-up process. 5 stars for the location. We were next door to Miramar Restaurant with really good food, a great bar, friendly staff and perfect outdoor seating with doggies. The beaches were within walking distance. I live inland from HMB and have visited here many times. I wish I had taken more time to evaluate accommodations for my special reunion. The house was clean and nicely furnished. For three adults and two doggies requiring privacy and comfort, it just wasn't a good fit for us. Please update the details of your listing; some of them are misleading.
