Three big surprises
There were some nice amenities, but there were three surprises.
First, we were informed ten days before the rental began that the pool was leaking. Igor, the owner, offered to find us another property in the same area. He did so and we made plans to go to the substitute property. Igor apparently never let VRBO know of this substitution.
To our surprise, the original property, was fully occupied on the date of arrival by another family, and the pool appeared to be full. One possible explanation seems to be that Igor double-booked the first property and there was no actual problem with the pool.
Second, the substitute property included two small enclosures for chickens, ducks, and geese. We discovered upon arrival that the chicken shed had two roosters. They woke us every morning at 4:00 a.m. and crowed for hours throughout the day.
The third and biggest problem was the smell from the duck enclosure. It had a stagnant body of water about five feet across and with no apparent source or drain. The pond was so foul that the ducks and geese avoided it.
Every 15 minutes or so, on most days, as we sat outside, an incredibly foul odor wafted up from that duck pond. It was quite similar to the smell of a failed septic system and greatly reduced our enjoyment. We promptly asked Igor to fix this. He denied there was a problem and suggested the smell came from a farm down the road. I was glad when our stay was over and we got to leave the foul odor behind.
