Positives: Good neighborhood, large backyard, spacious, clean, quiet. In good shape. Comfortable Beds. Living room has a quality TV and couch. Den has pingpong and basketball.
Has potential to become a valuable and even cherished VRBO rental, if owner and manager would put in a little more effort. Currently finishing touches and basic elements are lacking.
Our group of 5 came for a 4 day mini-vacation.
Problems: There were only 4 bath towels. One of our party had to dry himself with a wash cloth.
Kitchen: not enough forks, knives and spoons. Only 3 steak knives. No coffee mugs, bowls or toaster.
One bedroom door couldn’t close, the door handle was gone, had to push open the door as there was a broken door stem without a handle.
BBQ - no BBQ tools, grill was dirty.
No table or chairs in the backyard, forget about an enjoyable outdoor cookout.
Cold pool, no chairs or lounges.
No bedroom lamps.
One bed creaked like it had rusty springs, with thin, uncomfortable nylon sheets.
We called VRBO, and the manager as we just wanted towels and coffee mugs. The manager became combative, blaming the renters, maid service, etc. we asked if she had come to the property, she said no, because she is the manager (wow). We asked her if there is a list for the cleaning service to go through, again- no.
The next day a package arrived containing coffee mugs, then the next day 4 towels came.
It is simple to fix: just get the missing items. Probably cost less than $1000 and rent more often.
