RATS! I would have overlooked the sugar ants, the minuscule amount of toiletries and laundry and dish soap, would have overlooked the light on the pier being out and that it wasn’t the cleanest place I’ve been to. BUT when the lights on the pier went out completely and no one responded, I started looking! After 15 hours of no response, a waste of 40$+ of bait and no fishing, I called Nina. She said when it rains the breakers for the lights malfunction and “you just have to wait for them to dry out then flip the breaker.” Safe? NO. The lights on the pier are rigged with the electrical wire going into the water!!!! Half of the photos on the site are of a different house and pier! Then the morning we are leaving rats got into our food and defecated all over the place including the sofa where later I discovered that is their home! The rats live in the sofa! I have never had this bad of an experience in all my years. My husband and my safety and health were put at risk!
