Luxurious Post & Beam with Heated Pool Near Beach
Centerville Vacation Rental - ID 36903

This owner is completely irresponsible. Our family rented this home two years in a row, and the condition has only gotten worse. Last year, the basement floor was warped — this year it's severely damaged. We discovered active water leaking from the utility room, which spread into the basement closet, where we found visible mold. The flooring is so swollen from long-term water damage that the closet door barely opens. There are HUGE bumps in the floor from the water leaking.

Most concerning: a one-year-old baby was sleeping in the basement, and mold exposure is extremely dangerous for young children. Two of our family members had to leave early due to the unhealthy conditions, and the owner refused to offer any refund or resolution.

While a plumber was sent out quickly to stop the leak, the owner never followed up afterward. That was the extent of his involvement.

The back deck is also dangerously unsafe. The railing was loose and unstable, with no support beam — an obvious hazard on a high deck. The spindles were loose and fell off. A small child could easily fall through. Thankfully, a family member secured it with a strap for the duration of our stay. We had to remove the strap when we left, leaving it dangerous once again. We also showed the condition of the railing (and other issues) to the property manager before checking out — she saw the problems firsthand and agreed the home was in poor condition.

On top of all that, the beds are in terrible shape. In one of the king rooms, the bed frame is so unstable that two people roll into the middle.

We gave the owner, Ryan, every chance to acknowledge the issues and offer a partial refund for our major inconvenience. Instead, he downplayed everything and took no responsibility. His reckless management is dangerous and he was terrible to deal with.

DO NOT rent this house. It's unsafe, poorly maintained, and the owner refuses to be accountable. show more show less
