This has been the WORST experience in our life time of travel!! We spent 3 days driving from our home state, looking forward to a month stay at this condo.

Upon arrival, we were met at the door by large brown roaches on the floor. Going further inside this condo, there were MANY smaller roaches in the kitchen sink, coming out of the drain. Looking around the kitchen we saw several roach traps between the stove and refrigerator, and near the waste basket. Under the sink was a LARGE hole in the wall, giving easy access to any size pest. It was late in the evening, we contacted the owner about the problem, and decided to try and spend the night. When my husband got up in the night to check the kitchen situation, there were 10 large roaches between the stove and refrigerator, as well as those running up the refrigerator.

We also found roaches in the closets, hallway, on living room walls and bathroom. The kitchen counter was crawling with tiny "ghost ants." The tub drain in the bathroom had the same type of roaches as the sink. We later found these same small roaches throughout the condo. To say this place was INFESTED with all forms of pests is an understatement.

The pest control came on the 3rd day of our stay, making it impossible to spend the night after spraying. The owner paid for that night, at our insistence, but my husband was not able to tolerate the spray the following day. (Even though we were in the condo less than 10 minutes to try and retrieve what we needed for the next evening at another hotel.) Keep in mind this is Spring Break weekend. It was nearly impossible to find a room and we had yet to unpack all our belongs for fear of getting them infested too. Also, we had made plans before leaving home, to have our son stay with us for several days. Now we have no place we can stay, it is Spring Break, our son has a nonreturnable airline ticket, and I have spent the past 3 days on the phone and computer trying to find last minute accommodations which at this point, are expensive. We told the owner we could not stay here and she said she would refund our condo payment, but not pay for the 2nd night lodging. (I have yet to receive the second half of our payment at this writing.) She said she was "Sorry."

This has been a traumatic, extremely disappointing, and potentially huge problem for us, if the roaches and other pests somehow are in our belongs. We had to turn around and return home after all the planning, packing, and expense. So sad.
