We booked this beach house July 18–25 and had to leave early due to unbearable heat and lack of real resolution. When we arrived, the house was already warm. By Saturday, it was 78 inside and climbing. The host responded quickly and sent an HVAC tech, but he only changed a filter. A second tech said the ductwork needed work but couldn’t fix it.By Monday, the house hit 89 inside. We have 3 small kids — one got sick from the heat, and another woke up from a nap soaked in sweat. At that point, we had no choice but to leave for their safety. The host offered window units after three days of discomfort, but we declined — too little, too late.She refused to refund the remaining nights, insisting the issue was “resolved,” despite the house needing multiple units just to stay at 74. VRBO had to step in and refund us, determining she was out of policy.Also: the house wasn’t clean — dirty silverware, filthy floors. We had to wear shoes indoors.Quick replies don’t make up for poor conditions and a dismissive attitude. We won’t rent from this host again
