I like to leave comprehensive reviews so you know what you are getting. I have traveled all over the US, and UK/Europe staying in many VRBO homes. I like to talk about positives, opportunities, uniqueness's, responsiveness of the owners, and if it is a resort what to expect.
Overall we loved out stay! The pictures are accurate, it is spacious and well decorated. The beds were comfy, and the loft with projector screen to watch movies was a nice add.
When comparing this home to other homes in the Davenport area of same size in the lower price bracket per night it fits the bill for quick meals, relaxing between parks, and a good nights sleep. It is not fully equipped to be a home away from home feel, where those homes have all amenities to cook AND bake, along with extra linens and towels, pool toys, where you are enjoying the home more vs being out more.
Uniqueness: Only body towels, pool towels are provided, two hand towels and one bath mat. Face towels, more bath mats and kitchen towels, you would have to bring from home or purchase. This might be an inconvenience if you are trying to pack light (with airfare and luggage being expensive) or you don't want to waste money on things you already have at home. We did fine with using the body towels. Heating of the pool can only be done before you arrive, there is no flexibility to add it later. If you bake, there are bake pans but no measuring cups/spoons. Bdrms use lamp light only
Opportunities: Cleaning staff do a good job cleaning the home, however they have not corrected the food splashing's on some of the walls that another review complained about. This is not managements fault this is cleaning. Everything under furniture was clean, no dust or bugs, was fresh on arrival. We also hooked up our laptop to the projector as the SONY remote to use was damaged to access movies and the owners were made aware. The other remotes for the speaker and for the projector worked. A laptop connection with Bluetooth to the speaker fixed the gaps! The resort is nice, the community pool being free everything else costs $. Surfing $60 for 1/2 hour, arts and crafts cost $ too. Can't bring food to resort pool.
Positives: Many pots and pans, silverware, glasses, pancake griddle, blender, well working dishwasher, washer and dryer! Southern-ish exposure pool. Great neighborhood! Manager Emily was quick to respond and amazing!
Overall we would stay again! Its a great home for when you are on the move!!
