This is an older home located in the Mission Lakes area. It is a quiet residential neighbourhood that presented no causes for concern during our two week stay. We selected this home because of its proximity to the golf course and to be near friends.
There is nothing about this home that is “chic”, “modern”, “posh” or “upgraded” as stated in the description on the website. Not sure there is cable TV as we were only able to get about 4 channels.
This home is shabby, inside and out, including the furnishings and home décor. It is plainly evident that the interior of the home has not been updated in many years. Not only are the furnishings old, they are a hodgepodge of mismatched items and decorations leaving one with the distinct impression that they were purchased at a garage sale. The feather-stuffed sofa had an odd cover on it, and for good reason. Looking under the cover one could see the dirty and dilapidated state of the sofa; furthermore it is leaking feathers at a rapid rate.
On the surface the home met the minimum standards for cleanliness. The morning of 9 Nov 2016 we received an email from Vacasa saying that we would not be able to check in early because the cleaning crew was not finished the cleaning. We arrived at the home about 3:30 pm and were upset to see the general condition of the home. There were dead insects on the carpet in the master bedroom, the patio door tracks were filthy, and the garage stunk due to overflowing garbage and recycle containers.
Linens
On a positive note there were lots of towels and they are of good quality. However, some of the other linens such as bed sheets and the master bedroom duvet did not appear to be clean or in good repair so we chose not to use them.
Patios
This home has three patio areas, which similar to the interior of the home, are furnished with old, odd and mismatched pieces. The state of the patios was disgusting. Given the cobwebs, dried leaves, etc. it is evident that the area has not been cleaned in some time. The fabric cover on the cushions on one piece of furniture basically disintegrated when my husband sat down on it, ruining his pants and shirt. The walkway from the back patio to the front through the gate was literally covered in bird poop.
Sylvia from Vacasa personally came and picked up the garbage but no one came to clean up the patio areas and we ended up hosing them down ourselves.
We would not recommend this property.
