Amazing vacation property
Great location and great home. House was exactly as pictured and had tons of space for everyone. Loaded with all the kitchen essentials. Amenities were unbelievable (and close to the home). Pools were a big hit and the game room was perfect for extra indoor fun. Would love to come back again.

never again
I was willing to overlook the poor cleaning job done by the cleaners, but there was a terrible smell of cat urine in the garage. The smell lasted the duration of our entire stay. I left a message with the owners our first morning, who kept insisting the smell was garbage, not cat pee, but all 10 of us knew what we were smelling. There was a litter box with some litter stuck to bottom, so I am positive a cat was there. They did offer to have someone come out to clean, but this did not seem like an adequate solution. Cat pee is not something that can be just cleaned up.. But, we decided to let it go. Now, we get a bill for 250 and email stating, “Broke our blinds. The blinds are custom and cost to replace and install is approximately$150.Also.we were charged extra.cleaning. fee. They left the house very dirty,moved furniture upstairs and kids put stickers on the furniture that took time to remove.” The blinds fell apart upon normal usage our very first morning.. Our children did not put stickers on furniture. The cleaning crew missed bandaids, dirty laundry, and dirty dishes and the owners knew about it, but had the nerve to accuse us of leaving their place dirty. Given the state of the home when we arrived and the health hazard in the garage, I’m outraged. I have rented from VRBO for many years, twice a year, and never have left a place dirty or received a bad review. And this the is the first bad review I have ever left as well, for anything ever in my life.
