The property was dog-friendly, which was great for our little pup, but it didnât have an ocean view. Unfortunately, we had a long list of issues that left us disappointed with this VRBO stay. To start, there was old, disgusting food left in the freezer. The townhouse badly needed a thorough cleaning, especially under and around the bed, and there were cobwebs on various items both inside and outside. The bed was made up of several thin, mismatched mattresses that kept sliding apart and were extremely uncomfortable. Worst of all, the lock on the sliding glass door was malfunctioning, leaving my wife and me locked out for half an hour while I "jimmied" the lock with the key. Our vacation to Pacific Grove was a disaster. We left two days early.
