The Sea Willow : A Charming Gulf Coast Cottage

We had to leave within 10 minutes of arriving. The beds were slept in, there was dirty laundry still in the washing machine, one bed had a huge stain on the mattress cover, the pull out couch had a lot of dirt and grime all over it, the bath tub had dirt and grime in the bottom, and we found THREE roaches almost as soon as we walked in, in various places throughout the house. When we notified the host about these issues she asked if she could send someone the next day to clean it, which meant we would have had to clean everything ourselves just to go to bed that night. The location was also not in a great part of town. This was the worst experience we’ve ever had with Vrbo. The host did immediately refund us, but unfortunately there were no other Vrbo listings available on the site so we had to scramble and find a place late at night in a town we knew nothing about.

Enjoyed the stay

The property was clean and everything was in working order, the location was only a few blocks from the beach, the neighborhood it’s in is a little rough but it didn’t bother us,the owner was kind to me in all communication with me. We would absolutely book again

Overall our stay was fine for just one night. Had I realized the location of the property I would have booked elsewhere, we didn’t feel the safest in this particular neighborhood. While the property appeared clean from the photos it could use some better cleaning services. The pullout couch was used on our stay and was in less than satisfactory condition: had a giant stain on bottom of mattress, was full of dirt/grit upon opening and felt like it might fold up on the guests sleeping on it. For one night it worked for what we needed and I do think the host was very easy and sweet to communicate with. She responded within minutes any time I messaged with questions. The property is nicely decorated and cute just needs a little more attention to detail during cleanings.

We came to enjoy cruise the coast, and the house accommodated us well. It was very clean and neighborhood was quiet. A little drive to get to the beach, but you could walk if you wanted to. Property manager was very nice and happy to answer any questions. We would stay again!

Nice place good proximity to lots of things and the beach.

They are claiming we took or broke a vase that is completely not true they did not even have a broom in the house to sweep the floors and the floors had not been swept or rugs shook before we stayed very limited supplies were provided for us
