This was our fourth time renting a house in Reunion, and while this property had some positives, it fell short of our expectations.
The house itself was large and spacious, and it appeared clean upon arrival. However, it was not cleaned to the standard I would expect for a vacation rental at this price point. The floors needed a thorough scrubbing, the bathrooms could have used much more attention, and there were handprints visible throughout the home.
The furnishings are starting to show significant wear and tear, and several pieces should be replaced or updated. The color-changing LED lights in the family room were particularly frustrating, as they continuously changed colors and became more of an annoyance than a feature.
The outdoor pool area also needs attention. A refresh and a good power washing would go a long way toward improving the overall appearance and guest experience.
The kitchen was well stocked, organized, and had everything we needed for our stay. Unfortunately, many of the cabinets, drawers, and surfaces felt sticky, which detracted from an otherwise functional space.
The upstairs carpeting was another disappointment. It appeared dirty and either needs a deep cleaning or replacement altogether.
Overall, the size and layout of the home were great, but the lack of attention to cleanliness, maintenance, and upkeep made it difficult to justify the cost. After renting in Reunion four times, this experience has us considering other vacation rental areas for our next trip.
