How was everyone's Labor Day Weekend?
Had a pretty

time murdering my sister, weather at the beach was very nice, got a couple of bike rides in, lots of beer and
![:fatty: :fatty:](./images/smilies/fatty.gif)
, mostly just chilled on the beach/at the VRBO. I don't think we'll be doing VRBO again, the owner turned out to be a major cunt... we have stayed in at least 30 airBNBs and never had any issues.
For starters, right before the trip she emails us all this documentation and says the house has no sheets, towels, anything, BYOEverything. Whatever, kind of annoying, but NBD. We get to the house and it was really quite nice, it was in a beach front trailer park, it sounds pretty redneck and is, but overall not a bad way to go, and it was spacious, well decorated and over all a pleasant place. All of that said, we noticed some sand around the house, dist under the beds... again, NBD, it's a beach rental and wasn't the most expensive place. We also noticed that the TV didn't work, they claimed to have cable... no go. NBD again, I really don't watch TV, but I think my sister and BIL were a bit annoyed. During our stay the woman texted my wife a couple of times asking for random stuff - take the trash out, water my plants, etc. Kind of odd, but whatever.
So, we go to check out, and there is a laundry list of shit we're supposed to do... sweep the outdoor shower, clean the golf cart (which we were able to use as part of the rental), several other things. We paid a cleaning fee for this property, so it was a bit
![:wtf: :wtf:](./images/smilies/wtf.gif)
that we had to do chores, but OK. Checkout is 10 AM and this cleaning lady shows up at 9:45 and is all "why are you still here, blah". Well bitch, we paid for the full time. We are out by 10:05 and the cleaning lady goes in. Maybe 30 minutes later, the owner starts texting my wife that she can't believe we had the audacity to trash her house AND check out late and inconvenience her cleaning lady. She sends us a picture of a pile of sand, this is literally the pile that the cleaning lady must've swept for the entire living/kitchen areas, and that is somehow trashing the place.

were we supposed to vacuum to? What are we paying $135 cleaning fee for if we were expected to clean everything? We absolutely in no way trashed the property, we slept there, chilled on the porch, cooked breakfast a few times, etc.
All in all, 5/7 weekend, but I think we will go back to AirBNB going forward.
