This house has me so conflicted. We were a party of 13, this house sleeps 20. The house absolutely sleeps 20, but it doesn’t “live” 20. The living spaces are not furnished to handle the amount of guests that it sleeps. You can not gather in one room for a meal at the same time. There’s certainly not enough seating in the rooms where there are large televisions. If you need crash space, because you will never be in the house, this will cover it. If you plan to spend time in the house, look elsewhere. I will note this was not the original house I had selected after looking at many houses, the one I selected seemed to have it all. I was notified a few months later that the house was no longer available, and they selected a new house that was larger for the swap. I was going through a health crisis and went with what they offered, as it would have been too much for me to look for a new house. I accepted this substitution. Had I been in my right mind, I probably would not have selected this house as an original rental based on the other choices in the VRBO catalog.
• Things to know
o General
• Upkeep/Cleaning - This house is listed as brand new, and based on the construction still in the area, I believe it. However, they have left the walls construction white, and everything has scuffs and marks on the walls and it looks old already. The sofas are pilling and not in good shape already, and there were stains on some of the bedding. The toilet seats are cheap and broken in some of the bathrooms.
When I rent a house, I like to think of the cleaning fee is for the cleaning before I take ownership of the house as well as the one that took place once I left. There was a moldy coffee filter still in the coffee pot, and there were crumbs on the sofa. This was not cleaned as it should have been. Some of the bathrooms though clean, were not what I would like and that’s on me. However, there are no supplies for cleaning in the house and you can not fix what isn’t right without going out to buy supplies.
• Garbage Pickup is stated to be daily. The can was still full from the previous tenants on the second day. Not sure the schedule but we brought in catered dinner that night for the 13 of us and had nowhere to go with the garbage.
• The décor in this house is basic. The sofas are annoying as they are just modular pieces and slide apart on the tile floor. Some of the furniture is much older looking than the house. I
