The location was awesome, however we did run into a few snags, but the owner was responsive during this process. However I would not be doing future VRBO tenants any justice if I did not portray my experience.
The place wasn’t as clean as prior reviewers have led on. It was very dusty most of all. The owner did offer to have the cleaning service come in, but by then my mother in law and I had already started the cleaning process.
The shower heads were full of calcium build up (I went ahead and cleaned it off with some water and vinegar - which came right off).
The towels smelled moldy once wet. So much so that we decided to stop at Walmart and get a few new towels to use instead.
We did travel with a toddler, and we kept finding pet treats under the bead and sofa. I understood that it was a pet friendly place, but I was not prepared to find as much pet hair on the bed, sofa, and washer/dryer as we did.
I definitely recommend that the carpet in the main bedroom be deep cleaned, as we vacuumed every other day and managed to pick up so much dust every time.
My husband noticed the air filter above the guest bathroom had not been changed in months. It was covered in about an about an inch of dirt.
The washer/dryer had a moldy smell to it (which is an indication of the washer being closed after a wash without proper ventilation to air it out) I wiped the dryer and washer down with a moist towel before using it, and it came out filled with pet hair. Like I said, I’m all for pet friendly places, but it doesn’t mean I want to see it all over the place, let alone see it on me.
The lighting in the main bedroom needs to be adjusted as it is too dark, which didn’t help when I noticed how dusty the walls were (the cons of having darker walls)
Overall I did feel like the owners were responsive to some concerns, but feel like cleanliness is defined differently depending on the person.
I highly recommend a deep clean.
