This is not my first rodeo. I have been vacationing in VRBO homes for well over 20 years. So here is my story.
Good stuff: Very effective a/c (as soon as Cindy turned it on), Inside home is very clean (kudos to Krystal). Kitchen pretty well equipped. 3 TV's but none worked properly. Could only watch movies or videos (no local). Not knowing what was happening in the world not such a bad thing for a few days I guess.
Bad stuff: None of the pictures really showed what the yard was like. There is absolutely no grass, only scraps of green carpet laying here and there (strange). Lots of weeds and dirt. There is a 2-story home right next to the yard that looks down on the pool, so no privacy what-so-ever. Grove, what grove? Nothing but dead or dying trees. Plus there is someone living in a mobile home on one edge of the grove and has a hammock strung between the trees and assorted trash strewed around the ground.. Did not feel completely safe with that situation (we had no men with us except first night) I had invited some friends to hang out at the pool and have dinner with us for my birthday, but asked them not to come because I was embarrassed by the yard situation.
Overall, Cindy was easily available for any questions and her cleaning lady, Krystal even delivered a phone charger to my daughter's home (I'm thankful Krystal lived close to her)
