I reserved a Vacasa Rental earlier this year for Ocean City, MD for $3,000. 2-3 months prior to our stay I received the email that Vacasa had been purchase by VueStay. The switch was fine as I was still able to pay the remaining balance (even though their system never updated showing it was paid) but the problems did not truly begin until I arrived.
Upon arrival the code to enter the unit did not work, we called the number and were greeted by a customer service agency in another country who let us know a local team member would contact us. Within 15 minutes a local team member did contact us and provided us with a second code to the second lock box that was supposed to contain the physical key. The box was empty. Within a half an hour a team member arrived and reset the key code so we could enter. All team members who arrived during our stay were in regular clothing and seemed to allude to what other reviewers are saying that they may just be independent contractors not actual company employees. The company and the team member were not at all concerned about the physical key being missing even though that physical key could bypass the keycode and whoever has it was able to enter our unit at anytime.
Upon entering the unit you could tell it was well used, the photos we were provided were from Vacasa and obviously dated as the carpet was quite dirty and stained, there was sand on the floor, the dishwasher was broken with a post-it note attached saying "will be fixed ASAP", 3 ceiling lights in the house did not work and every TV Remote was missing.
The bathrooms were the only thing that seemed to be actually cleaned, the sheets were all stained in yellow and dried blood as well as the comforters. There were numerous amounts of trash beneath each bed (bus tickets, red solo cups, paper towels, etc.) The closers were filled with piles of used sheets used pillows. But the worst part would be the master bedroom drawers. It was obvious they were not opened or cleaned as there was dust, old nail files, bottle caps, trash and worst of all a used full condom in the bottom drawer of the large dresser.
After finding the condom I reached back out to the local team and they sent another team member over to clean and provide new comforters and sheets. They brought one comforter, threw away the condom and sprayed with bleach. They had to return with more sheets.
The main company line and the local team were not concerned at all about us having younger children (1, 3, and 6) in the unit and the condom being found by them. I was offered $150 (half of the cleaning fee) after complaining regarding everything above and advised they would reach back out to me to provide a further refund as
We arrived on a Saturday and it was not until Thursday that they came out to "fix" the dishwasher. They put a cleaning solution in, started the dishwasher and advised me to remove the empty cleaning solution once the cycle had ran through. When the cycle was completed, the cleaning solution was still full. I did not reach back out as I had 1 1/2 days left and did not want to deal with calling the customer service line again.
That evening (Thursday) we found the tv remotes under the couch as well as a pile of muscle relaxers (no one in our family takes or is prescribed these).
Again, Vue Stay did not care about the danger those posed as we had a 1 year old with us. We were offered $100 more after I reached out upon check out. They advised me "At this time, we have completed our review and will not be issuing any additional refunds or responding further."
Will not be booking with VueStay ever again, honestly was agitated that I was forced into booking with them anyways as I never intended to.
