Our stay was disappointing, although Michelle and Phillip were courteous and responsive.The strict rules and penalties felt excessive. Check-in wasn't until 6 PM, with checkout by 10 AM, compared to many hotels and rentals offering 3–4 PM check-in and 11 AM checkout. We also faced an unexpected pet charge despite selecting a pet during booking, possibly due to a VRBO system issue rather than the hosts.Shower water pressure was extremely weak. Someone came to address it, but it remained poor. We also found multiple mattress stains when an undersized mattress cover came loose. The hosts provided a properly fitting replacement cover the next day, which we appreciated.Our biggest frustration was guests from the neighboring rental, under the same management, parking in our designated driveway and drinking and partying outside during quiet hours. After confronting them ourselves, they moved their vehicle but blocked driveway access. Management apologized but suggested alternative parking rather than intervening.At a hotel, we'd expect management to handle disruptive guests, especially when managing both units. The contrast between the strict rules imposed on us and the neighboring activity felt like a double standard.The hosts confirmed there are no cameras. Disclosed exterior cameras covering parking could improve safety and oversight.We appreciate their responsiveness, but these repeated inconveniences made our stay less relaxing than expected.
