Home OK, VERY unhappy with owner
Review Submitted: August 16, 2007
Date of Stay: August 2007
The house was OK, but on arrival, it was not as clean as the ad made it out to be, and the owner, once we checked in, said there were ants, and there were a lot. The comforters on the beds were dirty. Even though there was a lobster pot there, the owner stated he had an issue with us cooking lobster because it was "messy". Also, the owner in the beginning of the week told us that the last occupants had left the house a "pigsty". This should have given us a clue.
On our last day, we cleaned the house for three hours, vacuuming, cleaning bathroom rugs, wiping out the frig and wiping down the counters, cleaning the toilets, etc., In other words, we left the house spotless, in better condition than we found it.
Surprisingly, the owner refused to return our deposit, saying numerous untrue things like that we did not vacuum, left chocolate stains on the rug (no one ate chocolate that week), the counters were covered with crumbs, there were crayon marks and gauges in the walls (there was no crayons in the room he complained that this happened in). In other words we had the sense that he was planning to keep our deposit from the minute we rented the house.
We would not recommend this home for future rentals.
