Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Disliked: Location
The good: Home was clean. Thats about it. The Bad: They had a security camera on the back patio where the pool was! We felt we had no privacy at all. Neither myself nor my adult daughter ever put our bathing suits on. There were no side table lamps at all in any bedroom so you either had an overhead light on or nothing, which was terrible at night. Living room fan couldn't be used because it was so old the blades were hitting the lights. They left us with one trash bag. When I inquired about more, she said they only ever leave two (what??) but we only had one and they never offered to have any brought in. We were there for 3 nights with 4 people. I'm not going to go by more trashbags so we ended up reusing the same one and just putting the loose garbage in the big trashcan outside. They also had the thermostat preset to not go below 72 degrees. I had to message them to get it turned down and they let it go to 70 degrees but not lower as it "freezes up". The pool had the fresh water flow on a timer so when you wanted to swim in the evening, the fresh water / recycling water had been cut off and the water had gotten too hot to even enjoy. The kitchen was sparse with the little extras most VRBO owners provide, e.g. no sugar for coffee, only 3 Keurig pods were there, no shampoo/conditioner, etc. I am not a "complainer" but this was definitely not worth the money we paid for it, especially considering all the corners they cut to keep the costs down for themselves.
