Holiday home for max. 8 persons
Beerse, Flanders, (Antwerp province), Belgium

“We rented this property for three weeks and while I have low expectations when we rent vacation properties (to avoid disappointment), this property did not even come close to meeting my low expectations especially when one considers the price paid.

Major items of note: (1) The refrigerator did not work: (2) When it rained it came streaming down the walls in the living room; (3) Electrical outlets were improperly installed such that my seven, eight and nine year old children could easily touch the electrical wiring at the back of the outlets and were therefore at severe risk of electrocution; and (4) the outside dining table (prominently displayed on the website) was unusable because of rotting wood.

And while the local property manager did replace the refrigerator noting that "these things happen and this was just bad luck", the overall poor state of the house leads me to believe that the refrigerator had been broken for a while but the owners neglected to replace it until they absolutely had to. Further, it was a full week before the refrigerator was indeed replaced such that we had to throw away a bunch of food (outside temperatures were +30 degree Celsius/ + 85 degrees Fahrenheit). The electrical outlet was also "repaired" by wrapping lots of electrical tape around the outlet. The outside dining table was never replaced despite the local property manager stating that the owners were aware it needed replacing.

One other note, and this is not the owners' fault, but if you want to rent this property please note that there are at least 3 roosters in the immediate neighborhood who start crowing at 4:00 in the morning. In summertime, when you want to have your windows open to let it in some cool air, expect to wake up at 4:00 because these roosters are loud and relentless.

Overall, a severe disappointment and we will not rent here again. If anything, it seems to me that the owners should provide us with a partial refund because what was advertised on the web was not even close to what we received.” “We rented this property for three weeks and while I have low expectations when we rent vacation properties (to avoid disappointment), this property did not even come close to meeting my low expectations especially when one considers the price paid.
