I’m a big fan of Meadow Houses, and looked forward to renting this one. Finding it turned out to be interesting. First the location of Sunset Lodging (to pick up the keys) on Apple Maps was completely different from where it actually is, and then the location of the condo as indicated on the VRBO and Sunset Lodging maps was also deceiving—rather than being in the loop where it’s indicated and where I had hoped it was, the unit is at the very end of the road that comes out from that loop, fronting onto Abbott Drive near Circle #3. Surrounded by conifers, it is a bit dark (and the canister lighting is unbelievably dim), and at the point we were there (late June), the pollen was terrible—a thick yellow coat on our car, the porch furniture, etc., each morning. I existed on Zyrtec the whole time. Aside from those things, this is a nice-sized unit for our family, and the kitchen was well-appointed for the cooking we wanted to do. We loved sitting out on the deck (after thoroughly wiping down the furniture each night) and watching the golfers as we ate dinner. Four of the six bikes were functional. The master bed mattress has seen better days—there is a deep canyon for each person, which, if you don’t move much while you sleep, is not as bad as it could be, but not great. While we would not rent this unit again, it is a nice enough place.
