The best part of the property is the game room, pool table, air hockey, and foosball. The air hockey table has pucks not made for the table (too small and light) so playing a game is difficult. They fly off the table. It is a fun area and nice that it’s in its own area of the house. The little table upstairs we used to put together a puzzle. It was fun!
The TV’s in every room is nice. They are very high and rather small in the bedrooms without the ability to tilt.
Liked the kitchen and great room layout. The kitchen is lacking necessities. No dish soap, or dish towels. The lack of dish towels made us consume more paper towels than necessary. The owners had plenty of paper towels and toilet paper. There was a perfect amount of towels for our families needs.
Plan to bring your own dish soap, towels for the hot tub, and kitchen items. The knives were very dull, can openers didn’t work very well, and missing some things like measuring cups and ziplock bags. Not really much for pantry items like spices, which we expected.
The hot tub was nice and clean.
Many areas of the house is locked up. There is no access to the garage at all and some closets, cabinets, etc in the house. I didn’t think the no access to the garage was made clear enough in the listing. There is plenty of places to park including a side parking area.
The master bathroom is nice with a large walk in shower with dual shower heads and large tub. The jets in tub do not work (fyi).
Bring your own pillows! The ones provided are terrible. Very cheap like free pillows you get on an airplane, and the bedding was very rough.
We had some trouble with property mgmnt prior to our stay, they told us the house would be decorated for Christmas including a Christmas tree, prior to our booking then later said it would not be (a week prior to stay). They ended up coming through for us and putting my one in, which we greatly appreciated. The stress until it was resolved wasn’t fun. They also charged for the stay at random times with no real method behind it. Typically with a VRBO it’s set amounts at set times. Thought this was bizarre. We rent with VRBO 3-4 X’s a year every year.
You also have to go to the property manager location prior to check in and meet the property manager in order to get access instructions, which is promptly at 4pm. No earlier. Show id’s and go through a lot more hoops than a typical VRBO to access.
Overall it was a nice stay and my family enjoyed it.
