Please note, the place is really nice and would have been a lot more relaxing if the owner wouldn't have been so RUDE! She should not be in this business of renting her place out if she is going to rude to her guests that ARE PAYING to stay there. This is advertised as a home rental, when it is a B&B with a very involved owner who comes into the rental granny unit several times per day while the guests are out (she leave evidence such as rearranging pillows). Please note, she does not knock, she bangs on the door. She is likely bipolar given the severity of her mood swings.
The first night we arrived an hour early she was VERY upset and told me to my face she was so annoyed that I arrived early (please be mindful that I emailed her while I was on the road letting her know we would be a bit early. Before we left she stated she couldn't believe we arrived 8 hours early). She looked through our bags and questioned why we had brought our own wine and snacks. If that was the case, we didn't need her to give us a bottle of wine per day as advertised. She only gave us the one upon arrival. She was nice enough to have dinner made for us and her chicken was amazing went very well with her bottle of Tempranillo that was also very good. She repeatedly warned us that the pool was off limits (the time now was 9pm) despite that we said acknowledge her warning/threat and were not planning on using it. There is no mention of the pool being off limits in her advertisement. She asked me to walk with into her home to grab some pool towels. As I walked in I complimented her on having a lovely home and she replied, "yes I know". As we walked back out to the patio she pointed and touched my face stating, "whats that on your face a cat scratch?" I was shocked and said "no acne scars." She continue to debate with me that it was a cat scratch. She questioned my place of employment and even my tank top. Mind you I was completely shocked when she said this. I walked away in a state of disbelief in the stark contrast between her emails and condescending demeanor in person.
The next day was amazing as we did not have to deal with her much. She was in and out of the guest house we rented all weekend and was upset at us for her freezer not closing all the way. Mind you, the refrigerator is actively used by her and the freezer door is weighed down with frozen meats and blackberries. Saturday afternoon she came out to the pool and was sure to insult our religion with anti-catholic sentiments, backhanded complements, and warnings about drunk driving. We just continued with our weekend avoiding her at all costs.
The pinnacle of the traumatizing experience was Sunday morning. She knocked on the door and gave us our breakfast (food was good). She reminded us check out was 11am three times as if we didn't hear the first time. She left and came back to give us the bill and walked in all upset that the freezer was not closing she yelled at us as if we were a bunch a young dumb girls (we are grown women with families of our own). She was yelling, "Jesus Christ, I can't believe you ladies can't figure out how to close the freezer", she continued to stand in the house telling us she wanted to make sure everything else was in order and continued to rant for what felt like an eternity.
Please note, this review only states the highlights of this past weekend, and I could write an entire book based on her rudeness! Whatever you do, RUN, do not stay here. I believe the other reviews must be fake as she has some serious issues! I have never been so insulted or spoken to so rudely in my life. I strongly recommend VRBO cancel her site to protect others. read more
