Nice house (duplex) clean, nice neighborhood This will be somewhat of a different review. Overall the house (duplex) is very clean and nicely decorated. Close to downtown and great restaurants. The outdoor area is very nice. Screened pool with hot tub and outdoor shower. Also a nice dining area on the patio. Owner Roy was very responsive during our stay. Any questions were answered promptly. During our stay a cold front moved through the area making swimming in the pool only for the very hardy. We spent almost all of our time in the hot tub. The outdoor lights are really cool and it was very relaxing.The problem? On the last day of our stay I woke up feeling horrible. Thought I might have caught the flu. Fortunately the airport is only 10 minutes away. Flew home and my symptoms were getting worse by the hour. Tried for the next week to loose the flu bug to no avail. Ended up in the emergency room and after a battery of test admitted to intensive care. I was diagnosed with Legionnaire’s Disease. Had a very severe case of pneumonia. Spent 6days in hospital, 4 in intensive care. Doctors kept asking where we were and what we did. Turns out the Legionella bacteria loves hot tubs and will thrive if not properly drained and cleaned. My hospital bill was $36,000. My out of pocket is $6000.After diagnosis, I immediately let the owner know so steps could be taken to insure others safety. Never heard a word back. Contacted VRBO explained everything and was basically told thanks for letting us know.We will not be using VRBO again and I have contacted an attorney who specializes in this type of litigation. Sad it’s come to this.
