Disliked: Cleanliness
Not our favorite VRBO
The cleanliness of the home was definitely lacking. We travel a great deal all over the US and always opt for home/flat rentals. Typically they are spotless and comfortable. This one was far from clean. The stove was dirty, rbe floors looked like they hadn't been swept, the window panes had debris/dirt. The coffee pot looked like it was dirty, but perhaps it was just stained. The ice/water feature of the refrigerator wasn't operational which was very annoying. We also check that ice and water are available before booking. We could clearly see the refrigerator offered both. Additionally, the fridge didn't look very clean. But again, maybe it was just an older model. The dining room table seats two, we squeezed our 7 year old grandson in with a folding chair. The "couch" seats two. There was no place for our grandson to sit tho we clearly identified 3 people in our booking. The master bedroom was spacious and the bed was ok. More pillows and blankets would have been nice tho. The second bedroom was also spacious enough, but the bed was so hard we actually thought they forgot to put the actual mattress on top of the box spring. By the second morning, our grandson (again he is 7 and without any physical ailments) couldn't even bend over to get dressed or put his shoes on. They were great about communicating, And they did let us have an early checking. It was also very accommodating for our dog. Overall tho, because of the cleanliness, comfort level of the second bed, lack of seating, extra blankets and pillows and general location, we wouldn't book again.
