4/10 Poor

Don't trust these pictures, taken years ago.
Some positives: The view, the location, great street for walking, nice restaurant down the road.
The negatives: The house was extremely dirty, there was hair left on the floors and on the walls (like they wiped the floors walls w/ the same cloth.) The doors had dirt and the knobs were crusty w/ dirt. The vacuum was full and wouldn't work, not sure when they used it last? We had to empty it ourselves and tinker with it to get working again.
We found tons of nails and screws on yard, we would continue to pick them up. Dangerous for children for playing/walking around. One of the beds was broken and was never fixed. The owner stated that my brother in law was fine w/ sleeping on the floor, he meant for that first night, not the whole week. I asked him many times for it to get fixed. Never happened. He said that kids jump on his furniture and break it. Okay, well, what does that have to do w/ us? It was broken when we first got there!
We paid a lot of money for a week, didn't expect for two family members to be sleeping on the floor.
Also, my in-laws bed was covered in water after a storm. The owner accused us of having the AC on during the storm. Negative. We wouldn't do that. Everything is outdated, he needs to take a lot of that furniture to the local goodwill or dump.
We had to clean the floors and tables ourselves, stains from the last renters. He has a thorn bush right by the stairs to the beach, I asked for him to trim them back b/c our kids/us would hit it going down to the water. He cut a few and then just threw on a pile by the steps. Once again, just so sloppy.
This house isn't worth the price, find another home to rent. I met some great neighbors and they all commented that they know this house is dilapidated. I'm sure the pics were from 10 years ago.
He has an outdoor shower now, but I don't think what he has can be called that. Basically just a pipe coming from out of the ground w/ a hot and cold spicket, covered by spiders. His listing forgets to mention that his realty office is attached to the home, once again, his listing description lacks the truth.
I made sure to voice my concerns while we were there. He wasn't nice and didn't accommodate. Basically, I don't think he cares, he knows he can rent to whomever and not rely on people coming back each year.
I have never had a bad experience on VRBO and I've been using them for years. So when I say it was bad, trust me, it was bad, move on to another listing.
