I would like to start by saying that the house and location were nice. All of the issues we had were in regards to the booking process and lack of communication from the realty company.
We thought we were booking this rental through VRBO. However, after booking through the app, we were informed that we would complete the booking process via a rental agency. So essentially we paid $185 extra just because we found the listing on Vrbo instead of the realty company's site. Additionally, on the Vrbo listing it was clearly stated that teachers would receive a 5% discount. When we asked about this discount when filling out the paperwork via the realty company's site (which, remember, was a requirement) we were told they could not honor the discount since we booked via Vrbo.
The other major concern we had is that there were constantly people coming to work on various maintenance issues during the week. This would not have been an issue if these visits had been communicated to us in advance. We often had two women home alone with 4 small children and they did not feel comfortable letting complete strangers into the house when we were never informed that we should be expecting someone. After the second unannounced visit, we called the realty company and asked for someone to inform us if we should be expecting someone to come for repairs since it would be easy enough for someone to pretend they were a repair man and just walk right into the house. Even after this conversation, we still had two more surprise visits from repair people.
The management of this property was exceptionally disappointing and I would advise booking somewhere else.
