This was my first VRBO experience, so I have nothing to compare it to. We found our rental to be almost perfect in every way. Check in was easy and the pictures were accurate. We felt the location was just about perfect. We were about 1/2 mile from beach, 1 tenth mile to groceries and alcohol, and 2 tenths of a mile to many great restaurants. The neighborhood was quiet, and we spent every evening walking the streets (no sidewalks in neighborhood).. We paid extra to have the pool heated which had 4 recliners, 6 chairs, a table, and a covered cabana to provide shade. The beds and pillows were comfortable, and the bathrooms were small but usable for a short stay. It seems like everything was provided from soaps, shampoo, garbage bags, laundry soap, tea, coffee, and even a bottle of bubbly in the fridge. The TV had Netflix, Amazon Prime, and a few local channels. The WiFi worked great.
Only a few nagatives: The bikes need some tender loving care. 2 bikes had no or poor brakes. My son in law took one to a repair shop and had the brakes fixed. I thought there was too much noise from ambulances, helicopters, and police sirens. Of course those things can't be helped but annoying just the same.,
Final thought -- we would definitely stay here again. Very good value for the price. All in all, a great relaxing week with Mother Nature providing great weather too!
