I booked 3 weeks at this unit because, as I explained to Owner, Christine Theros, ahead of time, I was dealing with a personal crisis and was desperate to restore myself on a Florida beach vacation. I was dismayed when I arrived and the smell of dead fish (RED TIDE) hung in the air and the Siesta Key beaches were intolerable. On my one attempt to visit the beach, I, as well as many others, were gagging and finding it hard to breath. My throat was burning by the time I got to the car and the taste/smell of dead fish returned to my throat for days if I sneezed or coughed. Honestly, it was scary as well as disgusting. Other guests at this location lingered in the lobby, expressing their disappointment and sharing their ill effects. I shared my experience with the owner and INQUIRED if, seeing as I was staying beyond the 2-week minimum, if she would consider allowing me to break our agreement just THREE DAYS early so I could at least stop to visit another beach further north before I headed home. I fully acknowledged that I knew the reservation was non-refundable as well as the fact that she had no control over the weather. And if she preferred, I offered to leave an entire week early so she would have the opportunity to find another renter. To my utter surprise, instead of expressing any regret or concern for my well-being, or attempting to suggest other beaches for me to visit just a short drive away, the owner blasted me for even INQUIRING if she might be open to revising our agreement. I didn't make any demands. It was a simple inquiry and request for MERCY. This was unfortunate but I proceeded to make the best of the situation. Again however, to my surprise, the owner CONTINUED TO TEXT ME throughout my stay, "Curious if you are still there?" "Have you left yet? Are you completely gone?" Even though I responded that I was planning to stay for the entire reservation, OWNER Christine Wohnus Theros CONTINUED TO PESTER AND HARRASS ME, mocking me that I had already paid and there was nothing I could do. The owner has a lack of common reasoning skills (i.e., continues to insist that she can't control the weather when I have already acknowledged that fact) and should NOT be trusted with hopes for a restful stay at her simple condo. I have already shared this experience with other Vrbo owners as well as management and their acknowledgement of this one-off has restored my general faith in humanity. AVOID AT ALL COSTS and BEWARE OF RED TIDE!!!
