Pros – house if really quite beautiful, nice layout, super comfy beds/bedding (we rated them A++!), good size kitchen, overall clean and good location.
Cons – request for heated pool failed; local team sent handyman (thanks David!) to repair 48-hours after we arrived (after multiple text messages to local team and upon my request). I did receive a full refund for the fee but super disappointing since we planned on using each day. No mirrors in some of the bathrooms (very strange), empty/watered down handsoap and shower soap, cheap coffee maker (not even an auto shut-off), not enough coffee mugs for group of nine, mix & match dishware, no ice-maker or ice trays, no AC (that is noted in the description but it was 85 degrees in the house when we arrived!), some windows have no screens (so couldn’t open all windows), cobwebs in some rooms, not all outdoor lighting worked (safety issue with steps), no lights by grill (used iphone to cook), freezer did not work well, smoke alarm chirped (handyman fixed), beeping from utility room near garage, yard overgrown, house needs power washing, faded pool chair cushions, insufficient furniture on huge deck. Overall, if someone would invest a couple of thousand dollars on some of these items, the house would be a 10. House seems neglected. Would also be useful to have a guest binder with various instructions, recommendations, etc.
I've stayed at several VRBO locations and overall, this one was very disappointing (at a cost of $10k+).
