We've been renting on Lake Anna for the past seven years and have thoroughly enjoyed each rental - except for this one.
When we arrived, there was broken glass on the driveway, which we picked up. We entered the house and discovered more broken glass on the sticky and filthy kitchen floor. We soon discovered that there was no hot water, but we were able to locate the hot water tank and reset the outlet. Later that evening, we tried turning on the TVs, but none of were working due to branches in the way of the satellite dish. As we walked around the house, assigning our guests to their rooms, we noticed that many of the lightbulbs were burned out. In one of the showers, there was hair and some kind of soap on the shower floor and walls. The sheets in that room, by the basement staircase, had not been changed and were dirty. Sand was found inside the sheets in one of the other rooms. On the shelf inside the office closet, there was a stack of dirty linens. We noticed a few things when we looked outside. The trampoline was not in the water, and all of the outdoor furniture and tables were dirty and covered in leaves and debris. The basement carpet needs to be cleaned - its terrible. There was a dirty rag and dust on the treadmill as well as a pair of worn socks in the screen in porch on the floor.
Many of the beds in the house squeaked horribly and had terrible mattresses. We also noticed how filthy all of the light switches were, and there were fingerprints on the sliding glass doors. The wet bar near the garage, including the mini refrigerator, was sticky and gross. We believe that this house was not cleaned prior to our arrival and that Vacasa Rentals did not inspect it. This house has a lot of things that need to be fixed or replaced. First, lighting - many bulbs need to be replaced. Second, the smoke detector's battery needs to be replaced by the basement stairs - it had been beeping for several days. Third, the basement bathroom drain is completely clogged, and finally, the first-floor dryer does not dry at all. Some recommendations for prospective tenants. Please put some extra blankets around the house, such as on the back of the couch and at the ends of beds. It would have been nice if there had been some firewood for the fire pit. Also the kitchen needs more than two dishtowels.
It is important to inform renters that construction is taking place next door so that there are no surprises when trying to enjoy a quiet day on the deck.
