Family fun

We had a wonderful experience at this lovely house! From the moment we arrived, it felt like a home away from home. The space was impeccably clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for our family. The host was incredibly welcoming, ensuring we had everything we needed for our stay. The location was perfect, with easy access to local attractions and amenities, making it an ideal spot for family outings. We particularly enjoyed the spacious backyard, which provided plenty of room for the kids to play. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better family getaway. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and family-friendly place to stay!

Beautiful Home

We had a great stay in this beautiful home. Primary bed is very comfortable. Didn’t sleep in other beds, but didn’t hear complaints from others that stayed with us so assuming all beds were just as comfy. Neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. Felt safe walking to and from nearby stores and restaurants. Pool was great! My son swam a few times and my husband with him once. We did have to bring our own pool towels, so it would have been nice to be provided some due to traveling with wet items is no fun, but we made it work. Only complaints I have are I would have liked if there were more bathroom towels available for use. We stayed 5 nights and were only provided 1 set of towels (1 bath towel, 1 hand towel, and 1 washcloth) for each person. Also, there is no access to washer/dryer. This was my first experience staying somewhere we didn’t have laundry access, so that was different for me. I honestly didn’t pay attention to us not having access to laundry when booking, due to my history of always having access previously, so I will pay closer attention from now on for sure! Communication was a bit of an overkill regarding the rules, but once I was informed it was automatically sent, the owner took care of them not being sent any longer and all was good! Overall we had a great stay and would stay here again!

What you need to know

* be aware only people sleeping in the house can be in the house. We had hoped to have some local family visit us and use the pool and this was not allowed. We were very disappointed. * beds are not as advertised. Bed in child’s room is not a queen, two adults could not sleep in it.One bed is so high it’s impossible for seniors who are under 5’5” to get into/out of. Bed in one of the rooms has treadmill on one side so that a couple can’t access from each side of bed. * kitchen supplies were inadequate: not enough plates and bowls for the number of guests. Only 2 bowls. Not even 8 dinner plates. No corkscrew. No wine glasses. * outside gazebo had bats in it and they pooped on the table. Couldn’t use the table or gazebo. This could be a great rental, however Kristen made me feel like we were under surveillance the whole time we were there. Her paranoia about us damaging the property was over the top. We’ve been renters with VRBO for years and leave properties better than we found them. We’ve never had an issue of any kind. The pool is great and we enjoyed it a little bit. The treadmill is broken and in the way. After our stay I was accused of removing a Lego table in the “kids” room which Kristen later found in the closet. I’ve never felt this way in a VRBO before. I was very glad to get out of this house and on our way. The host filled me with anxiety from the beginning. The house itself was fairly comfortable.

We were shocked at your negative review of your stay. We strive for 100% customer satisfaction. We have never had a negative guest review like this and We have been hosting for 18 months . The house rules are very clear that we do not allow gatherings at this location and extra people that were not confirmed initially. We have had many issues in the past with guests bringing extra people and damage left. So it’s our clear policy that we don’t allow this. I cleared this up before I accepted your booking. Then during your stay you called me to invite 2 more families to join you and we had to decline. There is a full kitchen stocked of dish ware, utensils, glasses, cook ware etc etc. Perhaps the plates were in the dishwasher? You must have overlooked them. I would have welcomed an additional phone call from you to request what was needed. If you felt the kitchen was an adequate and would have dropped off anything you wanted during your stay. Unfortunately, we never heard from you other than to ask us for the additional families to come to the house. I have a beautiful home and I have never had anyone complain because I set my house rules in advance. There was no reason for you to feel that you were under surveillance We are shocked to learn of this. We accommodated your communication since you were unable to successfully communicate daily on the Vrbo app and required us to text you. We communicated well there were no issues We do not have bats in our home and we’re surprised to learn that we had a bat in the outside gazebo and express to you our surprise as well. There is no way that we would have known this. Thank you for letting us know of your concerns. We will correct this for the future! Our number one goal is your happiness! In the future, please feel free to always reach out to us by phone call so that you may have a comfortable stay if There is anything you need. Thank you.

A wonderful and comfortable house perfect for our family vacation. The house was clean and decorated nicely. The beds were very comfortable and the kids room was perfect for our 2 1/2 year old granddaughter. The best part was the pool and decking in the backyard. It is close to a nice neighborhood park and convenient to shopping.
