When we rent a property on VRBO, it comes with a certain expectation that specific standards are met. In the past, our rented homes have always exceeded our expectations. Unfortunately, for the first time for us, this property fell short of those standards. The house was in a much older and rundown state than the posted pictures depict. Missing paint on doors and walls, broken locks on windows, lightbulbs out, taped broken windows, etc. There is a quarter inch air gap under the door leading out to the pool- daylight seen. For cleanliness, there was mold in the master shower and the freezer had something melted and thick down the back wall and bottom- very noticeable. When the host didnāt respond the first day, we opened a ticket with VRBO. The VRBO rep was terrific. The host contacted us later and cleaned the items we reported. The next day, when we were trying to use the āstockedā kitchen, we had to let the host know there was only a 5-inch skillet (no other large skillet) and it was crusted with cooked on food. We found several pieces of cookware, utensils, and silverware that had crusted food left on them and stored away for use. We sent pics again, and the host left new skillets at the door. I understand that cleaning companies may go ābadā, but as a host, it is your duty and responsibility to regularly inspect your property and ensure it is up to minimum standards.
We had a nice stay the only things I would say is the step in the bedroom is not super fun when you get up in the middle of the night when you get up to pee , and we received our cose at 4:15 not 4 which wasnt a big deal at all for us but I could see where it would bother others areicing promptly at 4 . Location is quiet and lots of space not terribly far from anything you could possibly wanna do.
Neighborhood was great. Parks and attractions were really close. House was clean and well stocked. Communication was good. Overall a great experience. Would use them again.
The size of the house with 4 bedrooms was perfect for my family. The cleanliness of the house was fine. One thing that I would suggest to the host is that it would sure be nice if you could get some better towels for your guests. We felt like we were using rags for bath towels.
The property was nice and conveniently located. Plenty of room for 5 adults inside and out.
We spent most of our time touring the city which was a 15-20 min Uber ride away.
We couldnāt have asked for anything better!! When we first walked in, we were amazed at the size, the cleanliness, and overall upkeep of the property. Location was perfect, 25 minutes to Riverwalk (probably be a little faster without the highway construction). Will definitely use again on next vacation.
This was perfect for our stay we came for our sons BMT Graduation and it was quite and relaxing. I wish it was closer to the base but the drive is only 25 minutes so itās nice to be away from all the traffic. I would stay there again.
The other bedrooms could use a TV, and the pool could use a light but other than that we really enjoyed the stay and itās a beautiful house. My family really enjoyed our time there.
Our family lived this stay. Everything we needed to keep the kids and family entertained. We even had a great view of the fireworks at six flags poolside!
The place could have been cleaned a bit better. There were stains on the cabinets from where people opened them. There were drips on the countertop edges from where someone spilled something, and it was not cleaned up. There was a poop stain on the master bath toilet we cleaned when we arrived. We moved the recliner and it had not been cleaned under in a long time with lots of crumbs and dust. The lint trap for the dryer had not been emptied. A note to empty when done should be posted, it was about 4 or 5 uses thick with lint. Staging the pool furniture would have been easy and gone a long way.
The pool was amazing. Great depth and clean. Beds were comfortable and the bedding was clean. We didn't really use the kitchen other than making coffee and keeping drinks cold in the fridge, but the appliances were nice.
This is an older home with a lot of character. If you are looking for modern and completely updated, this won't be for you. The location is great with easy access to groceries, restaurants, activities and airport. The private pool is very large and completely fenced in for privacy. There are a lot of trees in the yard, so the pool does get leaves and sticks in it, but we just used the pool net and scooped them out. There is a full kitchen and four bedrooms that could easily sleep 10. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. We enjoyed our stay very much.
This house was fun and much larger than I was expecting! My family had so much fun! My only recommendation would be to bring a citronella candle for outside to keep the mosquitos away! :)
Met our every need, amazing sleep and fun. This experience was my first and I will share family and friends said I got lucky. It has a peaceful vibe, clean, and nice. More than what we expected. Love the pool! A lot of thoughtfulness went into the home.
The location was perfect for us. Only 15 minutes or less in each direction from restaurants and shopping, and other family members. The home was perfect for large families. The only thing we could have used was a high chair or booster. Other than that, we would definitely stay again.
We had a good time in the pool. Thatās what you are going to this house for. When youāre out there in the back itās a pretty cool view too. They also have nice furniture. Overall great place to stay
We stayed here over an extended weekend to watch the solar eclipse. I really liked the location. Was in a nice quiet neighborhood, but close to restaurants and grocery stores. Easy to get to the highway and only a 20-25 minute drive to downtown. The pool was open, but water still a bit too cold to swim in early April. The interior of the house was clean and much of it updated. The back yard has lots of shade and many trees, which is nice, but also creates a bit of debris, if you are planning anything in the back. The only negative I can think of is the step in the master bedroom. A couple of feet past the bed, there is about a 8 inch step down which is in an unexpected spot and with the matching tile floor, it is kind of hard to see. My wife fell twice and my daughter once on it. I'm really not sure why the master bedroom has this, and I think it would be a good idea for the owner to try to make the room all one level in the future. It may be a good idea to put some caution tape on the drop or some low level lighting to make it more visible at night.
