I booked this property through Expedia for Father’s Day for 6 people (3 bedrooms). After completing the reservation, it suddenly showed “6 guests in 1 room,” which was already concerning. We drove 4 hours to Tampa, and upon arrival the instructions said to contact the property to pay the balance and receive the entry code. I tried calling multiple times with no answer.
When I got to the door, I checked the lock and it was already open. The moment I stepped inside, a horrible smell hit me. Two women were sleeping on the sofa, a dog ran out barking, and the whole place looked completely unsafe and unsanitary. The women claimed they had been living there for 3 months, which is impossible since I had just booked it. They slammed the door on me.
I immediately contacted Expedia and had to leave and book a hotel in downtown Tampa last minute. This property is unsafe, mismanaged, and should not be listed. Completely unacceptable experience.
