Currently been in a villa direct home…
Currently been in a villa direct home for 4 of a 10 day stay. The pool is filthy and not skimming. I’ve called several times and have been directed to leave a msg. None of these have been returned. Why are they renting these homes and providing absolutely no customer service??? The pool is full of dirt and bugs and stagnant water. My kids have been looking forward to this trip and the pool. Won’t be us villa “indirect” anymore.
Response from VillaDirect Vacation HomesSep 8, 2026
We see that you've stayed with VillaDirect 6 times since 2007, so we were saddened to read that you left such a negative review, which was posted on Sunday, 6th September.. We received your voicemails, but because pool issues are not regarded as an emergency, the call-out was scheduled for the next working day. We responded and serviced the pool on Sunday, presumably after you posted this complaint. Unfortunately, we can't post photos on our response, but the pool now looks excellent. For clarification, the pools are serviced once each week on a schedule. Regrettably, this schedule does not coincide with the arrival of a guest, so there is always a chance that you may find debris in the bottom of the pool, especially when we have such heavy, seasonal afternoon storms, which wash the debris off the top of the pool enclosure into the water (you've probably experienced these storms during your stay). Also, because of the additional rain water, the skimmers don't operate as efficiently. We hope that the service of the pool was to your satisfaction.
