This house would fail its inspection for sale, it has black mould (mold) and part of the floor is so rotten only the vinyl covering stops you falling through.
When you can smell the mould it's because you are inhaling fungal spores. Black mould has been proven to cause serious health problems.
Other renters have commented on the poor state of the floors so it's not a recent issue. The place is also very dirty, see the photos.
We pointed out the problems to Vacasa Customer Serivce as the manager didn't respond. It took overnight for them to offer us another rental property so we had to endure 18 hours in that environment.
Note also that the description is inaccurate..the TV doesn't work, it's only a screen for the DVD player.
It's still being advertised as available for rent.

Received an email at 1140 indicating the room would be ready at 4:00 as usual. We arrived at 3:40 to dirty linens, unmade beds, and food on the chairs. It took two emails and three phone calls but cleaning service arrived at 5:40. Very disappointing start to a relaxing vacation.

Wow, folks please run while you can as I was cheated by Vacasa and I am a Reverend for the homeless. Paid them 1,000 for a long deserved vacation and there was no cable, TV nor phone service all which was advertised. PLEASE RUN FROM THIS COMPANY TRY FLIPKEY OR HOMEAWAY.

My husband and I have traveled extensively in the past year, mostly utilizing VRBO and Airbnb rentals. We have had wonderful experiences, except in one case, with a property managed by Vacasa. Here’s what we learned that may help others avoid travel problems. All of the other places we stayed were managed by the property owners. We found that owners had great pride of ownership in their homes and the rentals were clean and well-maintained. This Vacasa rental was run-down and dirty. When we had minor issues in properties managed by owners, they had local people on the spot within minutes to help us. To report this unacceptable, dirty rental, we had to call Vacasa's customer service center that was many miles from where we were. The people on the phone were sugary sweet, but didn't care much about our problem. It took nearly two hours to even get a call back from them. Dealing with owners directly, we found that people were honest and straightforward about total costs of the rental. Vacasa was sneaky about cleaning fees – not listing them in the property listing and not mentioning them at the time of the reservation – they just show up on your invoice, which you get in advance, so check it over carefully. Make sure if you rent a Vacasa property that there are at least 5 or 6 reviews of the property, posted on-line through VRBO or TripAdvisor. Vacasa does manage some nice properties, but it can be hard to tell from the pictures what the property is like. And if you get there and it is not as represented, you are out all of your money as Vacasa has a 30-day advance notice cancellation policy. If there are no reviews, you may be better off at a hotel where you can usually cancel within a few hours and still get your money back. Vacasa has multiple complaints against them on the BBB website (wish I’d checked there before we rented).

First of all, we appreciate any constructive criticism, as this allows us to improve our services. Guest feedback is very important to us. While it did take a little time to get some help out to these guestd, it certainly did not take 2 hours. We do ask our guests to have a little patience as our business model does not allow us to have on site serviced such as a hotel, for example. Furthermore, our customer service and reservations agents certainly do care about the well being and comfort of our valued guests. We did send over a housekeeper to touch up the home. The home is very accurately presented and there were only two items that had not been cleaned sufficiently. This was not a completely dirty home, however it was the perception of the guest. We certainly take that to heart and also can clearly state that we do take pride in our housekeeping services, which were not completely up to par in this case. We must also note that we processed a refund for the cleaning fee as a sign of our regret that the home was not up to our high standards.
We do take ownership of problems when the occur. Also, our online booking process as well as our reservations agents always show the fee breakdown for any reservation. This includes the cleaning fee. Finally, we would like to note that we have had 24 complaints against us with the BBB over the last 3 years. With well over 100,000 guests per year that comes to a very low complaint rate, which in our opinion indicates and outstanding service to our customers.
