Review sent to vrbo: Home has been nicely remodeled. Kitchen is excellent with all amenities. Very nice coffee station. We had no reason to have maintenane come out during our 2wk. But there are a number of items that would give this a better rating: Vertical blinds are missing or don't work, corner shelf in master bath was laying on the floor, stains on towels, undisclosed leaky skylight, washing machine sounds like it's going to quit, light switches do not operate lights/fans in bedrooms, horizontal blinds are missing wands, rugs are old and stained, grill is rusted out (we did not use it)

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re very glad to hear that you enjoyed the recent remodel, the fully equipped kitchen, and the coffee station. It’s also great to know that you had a comfortable two-week stay overall. We truly appreciate you taking the time to point out the items that need attention. Your comments about the blinds, shelf in the master bath, towels, skylight, washing machine, light switches, rugs, and grill are very helpful. We have shared this list with our maintenance and housekeeping teams so these issues can be inspected and addressed. Guest feedback like yours helps us improve the home and ensure a better experience for future stays. Thank you again for staying with us and for providing such thoughtful input.

Not a good experience

Wasn't happy with the stay. Arrived to the home after driving all day and couldn't get in. The batteries were dead in the electronic lock, a maintenance guy had to come out and pry a back door open to get into the home. Pool pump wouldn't work, so no circulation or filtration on the pool. Hot water tank went out after one day of stay. Washer was broken and wouldn't work. The entire breaker box needed replaced, so the management company asked us to move homes. I appreciate them trying to make it right, but everything was a huge inconvenience during a baseball tournament/vacation.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Sept, 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I sincerely apologize for the series of issues you experienced during your stay. I understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with these inconveniences, especially while you were on vacation for a baseball tournament. We genuinely regret that the electronic lock, pool pump, hot water tank, and washer caused so much disruption. We strive to provide a seamless and enjoyable experience for our guests, and it's clear we fell short in this instance. I'm glad our team was able to move you to another property to address these issues. I hope the new accommodation was more comfortable and met your expectations. Please know that your feedback is invaluable, and we will be taking steps to ensure that similar problems do not occur in the future. Once again, I apologize for the inconveniences you faced, and I hope we can have the opportunity to host you again under better circumstances.
