Pros: Very nice, clean, plenty of towels, great location, nice neighborhood. Great for a lot of people. Close to grocery store, restaurants, etc. Very reasonably priced.
Cons: You will need to buy a lot of the little things that most VRBOs usually supply/or previous renters leave behind: dish & laundry detergent, dishrag, cleaning spray, salt, plastic wrap, napkins (none are supplied), toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, coffee filters, garbage bags (1 of each supplied). Also, couldn't find a broom to sweep up between meals. The TV in the game room does not work, and there are not enough outlets/no power strip, so you have to unplug the DVD player to plug in the cable box in the living room. Many of the chairs around the pool are rusted through and are not safe to sit on. I really like a warm pool, and even though we paid the extra for heat, it definitely wasn't turned up to 85 degrees as the contract stated.
Overall: The issues above are fairly minor and would be easy to address before-hand with the owner. So YES I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS HOUSE as a great alternative to an expensive hotel.
