HOUSEBOAT 2br/1ba RENOVATED, MAIN DOCK, Sleeps 7-8/Venice Marina

I have stayed in many VRBO rentals but NEVER have I had such a bad experience. The description states clearly that the kitchen is fully stocked well it isn't. There were two cups, two coffee cups, three forks, no bowls for mixing and cooking. The toilet leaked all over the kitchen floor before and after the plumber fixed it, the washer has mold and mildew in it, there were not ample linens, the beds had dirt in them, the mattresses have pee stains on them, the hot water is not hot, when I went to load the dishwasher, there were dirty dishes in it from the former renters, that explained the smell. The wifi did NOT work and the host said it is hit or miss because it's Venice, but I have stayed at about 12 different properties in Venice and they had wifi that they advertised as having. When we attempted to get resolution for some of these issues the host told VRBO that it is a fishing town and all of this was acceptable. They advertise this place for 7-9 people to stay, they advertise a pull out couch that leans and doesn't pull out and even if it did, there are no linens for it. The entire house leans to the point that the doors will not stay opened or closed. When I washed the towels, I had to wash them a second time because when I took them out of the washer, they drug across the mildew and mold that was on the washer seal. The light in the kitchen was a strobe light, it would not work properly, so cooking in the dark was just a blast. TV doesn't work. Terrible.

Very nice houseboat. Everything worked great.

Great

Overall the stay was nice. Location was great but the hose itself needed attention. Mostly minor. House has a but it dues not work

Excellent

Overall, the property was very clean and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable, with AC units and fans around. The ice machine outside was nice to keep fish cold. The kitchen had a coffee marker, with larger pots for cooking. The houseboat was stable and didn’t move much during storms, which was nice. Water pressure in the sinks were fine, but the shower had very little pressure. We washed using the sinks and then had someone bring water to the shower to pour over us to completely wash off.

Great location and owners working hard to update the place. Really clean but did have some obstacles to overcome and provided feedback to owner. Owner very receptive and feel like action will be taken. Once corrected I would consider staying again.

Place was clean and perfect but dishwasher and TV didn’t work Overall was good Would stay her again if Wi-Fi could be included

House had all that we needed. Porch was nice, along with the ice machine. Slept like a baby and bathroom situation was good. Will stay here again.

Everything was great with our stay. Caught lots of fish and walked 5 doors down to the marina. Host had lots of coffee which was great when you go fishing early in the morning. Would recommend!
