House Rental vrbo #58292 - Snave House

As a warning to other non-suspecting travelers, do NOT rent this house (http://www.vrbo.com/58292)

No photographs of the interior of this house posted on the site..and for good reason.

I can appreciate old homes, but the condition of this house is much much worse. And for the money, a complete rip off. The only good thing, you don%26#39;t have to worry about breaking anything, it%26#39;s all already broken.

there is a place on the web page that you can leave your comments. It%26#39;s right below the first exterior photo.

I dont know how landlords charge people and provide junk to someone, can live with themselves.

I have rented online many times, but I never choose a house UNLESS I can see interior photos of the house.

I agree. I was on BI and looked at this place. Terrible location and terrible house.

I am the owner of Snave and had one of my rentors send me this link. This should be illegal as it is completely inaccurate and inappropriate. All except one of my rentors this year are repeats! Why would they come back if these lies were true?

Perhaps your pleased repeat renters would leave a ';review'; or comment on your VRBO web site, stating when they stayed and how they found the accomadations?

Then ';one unhappy renter'; doesn%26#39;t have much power, when several people can remark they stayed there are were happy. It creates a more balanced ';review'; that way.

You might also want to post interior photos, so each potential renter can judge for themselves if your house is suitable for them before they get there.

Just my suggestions from someone that owns a rental and has rented many homes in many different locations.

I am not sure my rentors have time for this silliness but I will ask them. I do have some interior pictures, that was just another inaccurate critizism. I will be posting new interior pictures of the new kitchen and the new master bedroom upstairs. We also upgraded the driveway and redid the back lawn. There are new chairs on the front porch which has to be one of the most special places ever with views overlooking New Harbour and State Beach. Why would someone pick me to spit dirt on when I have been renting Snave for 15yrs with no problems and my mother rented for many years before that? Shouldn%26#39;t they have to confront me directly? Or at least notify me? It was just a fluke that I even found out about this.

You have to realize this is not a personal affront. If you did upgrades then fantastic. Just post photos of all the rooms and the renters will come flocking. If the house was upgraded I would stay here again, because truthfully it is a beautiful location.

Thanks

You will never please every renter no matter what you do, there will always be the one who can find fault. (My homes are very well maintained and yet someone will find fault with my TV remote and tell me about it).(Wish I could see and criticize their homes).

However, it seems like perhaps it was time to make some upgrades and it sounds like you%26#39;ve done that.

Boast about the changes on your web page and I%26#39;m sure all will be fine.

The power of the internet allows homeowners that rent their houses, find a much larger pool of potential renters and with that comes the opportunity for the renter to speak their mind about a place.

Interesting that I stumbled upon this topic today: We have rented Snave the past two summers and will rent again this July, we have also rented several other houses on Block in the past, so I have some experience with the ';rental market';.

Snave is an antique, but very comfortable, and has a nice central hilltop location. We appreciate the view from the porch, the open lawn for the kids to play on, the outdoor shower, and the fact that we can bring our dog along with us. There are only a handful of houses that will let you bring your pet - so this is a HUGE plus.

As far as everything being broken - I can only think of 2 lamps that did not work. We did not have any complaints.

We look forward to returning, and are excited to see the upgrades.
