Summary: While the room was clean and it is a lovely neighborhood, we were disappointed when the owner approached us to turn off the gas fire pit claiming a fire hazard, as we were comfortably enjoying it in the common outdoor space. Just two of us having a cocktail trying to watch the sunset. After sitting in the dark, since there is no lighting except for a motion security light, we decided to go inside. We did re-read the description in VRBO and it says use of common area - be aware however, it seems that does not include the gas fire pit - which should be noted in the description. The tv is really a very small computer size monitor hung high in the corner so we never turned it on, and we were surprised to find used soap in the shower (to be fair there was a newly wrapped soap on the counter though it was unpleasant to see the used bar soap in the shower). Additionally the shower did not drain and we found ourselves standing in ankle deep water. We ultimately decided to leave early after 1 night. Sadly the owner then accused us of breaking their ceiling fan as we found out via an attempted charge through VRBO. Ironically we noticed the missing pull chain but realized it must’ve been removed since there’s a remote to turn it on and off which is how we operated it with no problem. As we departed I saw the pull chain draped over the nightstand radio. Imagine our surprise when the owner then assumed we broke the pull chain which he said required replacing the entire fan.
