Vibe Finger Lakes

“Perfectly serviceable place within walking distance of the University. Unit was clean and as described in the listing. Worth knowing it is clearly run on a shoestring budget (no shampoo/conditioner, cheapest possible linens etc) so I wouldn’t use for a stay longer than a couple of nights.”

“We really enjoyed our stay! The property was beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The host was also very responsive when we had an issue with the Wi-Fi and got it fixed quickly. A few things to note: the downstairs could use more privacy since the windows and front door can be seen through from outside. There was also a camera pointed toward the hot tub, previous guest moved to face down, and a Simply Safe motion detector in the living room. We also had to purchase our own firewood, and while there was propane for the gas grill during our stay, it isn’t monitored, so that could potentially be an issue for future guests. The 10 AM checkout also made the fifth day feel pretty short. A later checkout would’ve been nice.”

“Upon arrival, 9/17 at 8pm, there was no water. We contacted VIBE, who said there was a water main break and they would keep us updated. Friday morning 7am, (9/18), we contacted the water authority. A technician came to the house and said there was water to the house, not a water authority issue. We contacted VIBE, who stated they were in contact with the owner and would keep us updated. At 915, we were told a plumber would be at the house by 10am. At 1130, we were told plumber would be arriving soon. At 12:50pm, we found water was restored. We didn't hear anything from VIBE, only knowing water was restored due to us checking the house. After water was restored, we found fruit flies coming out of kitchen sink, which infested the upstairs floor. I have all correspondence with VIBE on text message. I asked for (1) full day of refund, along with partial day for 9/19 due to water issues. VIBE has confirmed (1) day refund, nothing on partial day.”

“A beautiful condo in an excellent lovation. I rnjoyed my stay. The place was immaculate. My only issue was the lock on the door. It was very difficult to get the door unlocked and when calling the host I was instructed but it would not open. There was no one in the building to help. After 20 minutes of fiddeling the door opened.”

“Great spot right on downtown! Enjoyed the larger kitchens and living room space. Walking distance to a lot of bars and restaurants and ample space with comfortable beds. Overall, instructions were a little unclear when arriving on how to get into the space, and we didn’t have a code sent to us until we got there. The description doesn’t state clearly that it’s one big Airbnb but separated into two units so that was confusing.”

“Do not rent. The listing is inaccurate, the house is poorly maintained, and several conditions were outright safety hazards. The property was advertised as having three full bathrooms. It has two and a half. More seriously, we encountered faulty electrical wiring (a voltage hum persisted and lights flickered when a switch was engaged, there were also power spikes when appliances turned off and a sign of faulty firing), a gas grill that would not shut off properly created a fire/ explosion hazard, a yellow jacket infestation on the deck, broken furniture, and exposed nails, and damaged dock cleats. Many of these were known and should have been addressed before the property was rented. The house was badly equipped for a rental at this price point. The kitchen lacked basic items like wine glasses, a wine opener, and a casserole dish. The bedroom blinds are inadequate making it impossible to sleep past sunrise. The beds are flimsy and furniture is broken down. The list goes on.”

“Beautiful lakefront location, was super relaxing to be right on the water & we really enjoyed the hottub. It did feel a bit smaller than described and there were unfortunately quite a lot of bugs, both outside but also dead gnats/cobwebs inside. Overall enjoyed our stay but hope it’ll be better cleaned for future guests!”

“The lake is lovely, the setting is beautiful, and there are lots of toys for kids. Unfortunately, our stay was significantly impacted by pest, cleanliness, and maintenance issues. On day 2, we found a mouse in the kitchen, chewed food packaging, and droppings throughout the kitchen, stove area, and cabinets. The kitchen was unusable for most of our 6-night stay despite being advertised as “fully stocked.” We had to store food in the refrigerator/car and discard ~$250 in groceries due to contamination concerns, particularly difficult given our family’s food allergies. The refrigerator measured ~48°F. We reported this and were told a technician would come, but received no follow-up. An exterminator reportedly set traps and sealed an entrance, but a dead mouse remained under the sink for 3 days until we removed it. We also found a second dead mouse in a trap. Other issues included a broken patio door lock, nonfunctional TV, dirty carpet, dust/hair buildup, and very uncomfortable beds.”

“Beautiful property and very peaceful. The only issue was the terrible smell from the water. It smells like rotten eggs whenever you turn on the faucet or shower. The smell is pretty unbearable. I mentioned it in a message that also pertained to something else, and they ignore that part but answered my other question about the wifi. It’s a beautiful home, but the smell made us check out early.”

“Horrible stay, first as soon as we got there the place wasn’t cleaned yet from previous owners. Beds and sheets food stained, floors trashed overall very dirty. Took 5 hours for emergency cleaners to clean the place and had to bring beds and linens to off site laundromat for cleaning. Once cleaned we looked around to make sure we were satisfied and we noticed a horrible smell… it was mold. Mold under since and both showers. We looked more noticed dirty dishes and cob webs that covered everything. As we kept looking we noticed the hot tub was a dark green and filled with dirt and bugs. Since we had quite the drive we stayed and it was very unrelaxing with random people coming in and out of the property trying to fix what should have been fixed in the first place before we arrived. Overall bad stay would not recommend. Was also a headache working with vibes and Airbnb at the same time to get these problems resolved.”
