Location & neighbourhood was good/quiet. Close to Disney. House layout and size is decent.
Upon arrival and opening the door to the home, we were greated with a putrid/funky smell; quite hard to describe; not sure if it was a combination of musty smell, the older home, and the improper cleaning; but it was awful and we had to purchase candles and plug ins to cover it up.
Cleanliness was disgusting; the floors were filthy (especially in the master bathroom and main bath; with previous guests hairs and dirt on them); the floors in the main areas were all dusty as well.
I spent at least an hour and a half, re-vaccuming the floors and wiping down the bathroom areas as well as kitchen counters.
The bathrooms were not cleaned properly at all. Again, there were previous guests hairs on the tub surround and tiles around the tub in the master bath, as well as in the main bathroom shower. The baseboards were absolutely disgusting and don't look as thought they've been cleaned in more than a year.
While the house may have been recently updated (it had to have been at least 5 years ago); there are plenty maintenance items not being done. There are cabinet doors in the kitchen (many) as well as both bathrooms (main and master); that are close to falling off. The kitchen faucet is extremely loose, to the point where it seems it's falling off as well.
The master bedroom bed, is extremely uncomfortable; it feels as though you are sleeping on a board.
The pool, while a lovely size and heated; did not have a vaccum. We had a windy night/day; which resulted in a ton of debris landing in the pool; we tried our best to scoop it out with the net; unfortunately, a lot settled to the bottom and floated in the water.
The photos on the VRBO website do not accurately depict what the home/yard looks like today. There is a ton of vegetation around the pool now; which to be honest, does not need to be there; it results in debris landing in the pool during windy days.
Also, there seems to be an issue with ants around the pool concrete; we saw quite a few of them during our stay.
We also noticed quite a few spider webs all over the vegetation around the pool. There is only 2 lounge chairs by the pool, and one of which was broken.
Needless to say, our stay was quite disappointing and we feel an absolute waste of money.
The home needs to be maintained better, and needs a HUGE DEEP cleaning; walls, baseboards etc...As well as maintaining and upkeeping of the interior cabinetry, faucets etc...
The carpets in the bedrooms, should ideally be removed; as they seemed quite filthy and had lots of stains in the secondary rooms, as well as extremely woren.
Unfortunately, we would NOT recommend this home to others; and will not be staying here again.
