Pros- Beds were super comfy, the location was great going to the park and walking distance to coffee/food and shops
Cons- When you drive up, there is a chain link fence around the yard with a moving gate on the driveway that is in poor condition. it was quite windy when we were worried the gate was going to blow into our car because it was held together with a bungee cord. The yard was overgrown and at first appearances looked quite uninviting.
The kitchen is old. Although the vintage coffee pot was a fun reminder of my childhood, a larger pot would be great.
There was food in the fridge and freezer; open ice cream, jelly, etc. I have stayed in many vrbos and there has never been food in the fridge. The fridge was dirty, and smeared yogurt on the shelves. There were crumbs under the kitchen table and the floors around the living room had crumbs in the corners etc.
The blinds and window sills were filthy in the family room.
The doors and frames around the house were quite dingy. The whole place for the price of the rental needs to be deep cleaned.
I had to contact the host for checkin instructions the day before we arrived.
LOOK AT YOUR FEES!! I, unfortunately, did not review the fees before I booked the rental. The place is advertised with 4 beds. We were charged additional guest fees for having 4 people in our party. The host said it is listed as a 2 person occupancy therefore we are charged an extra fee for 2 more people. The 2nd bedroom has a lockbox on the outside of the door. So if you only have 2 people in your party don't expect to be able to use both bedrooms.
The host said they would refund me half of the cleaning fee due to the kitchen.
The original price of the rental seems fair. But with all the additional charges it is way overpriced for what it is.
