I want to be clear that my wife and I were happy with this rental and would certainly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in s the area. I will mention a few things below that could use some attention. I include these only so the owner can strive to make it an even better expierence for their guests.
We were getting work done on our boat and stayed here for 2 weeks. We have only been in a few VRBOs so the process is new to us. I found check-in just a tad confusing because I was getting messages from VRBO and the property management company and some were duplicative requests for documents. However, I must say the management company rep was outstanding at helping me through the process and communicating throughout our stay. They even came out on a weekend to replace the front porch lightbuld that burned out. The exterminator made a visit and the management company notified me the day before (as a side note, never saw any bugs before or after his visit).
The house is a little rough around the edges if you look closely, but the neighborhood is in a state of revival and we felt very safe there. We had our old dog with us and met several of the neighbors while taking him our and while just walking for excersice.
The house has a nice fenced back yard that is gravel. We used the gas grill out there a lot. We also loved having a washer and dryer in the house as we had a lot of backed up laundry to do from the boat.
The location was great for us. We only had a rental car for a few days of our stay, but Ubers to most anywhere were cheap. We walked to several stores that were about 1.5 miles away. There is a Super Walmart 3 miles away, but we Ubered there. When we had a car we were close to major highways and surface streets (yes, you hear a bit of traffic noise if outside).
Now for the things I would suggest to the owner to push this from a 4 to a 5 star rating:
Tighten up your cleaning crews. The floor left our white socks dirty and there was hair in the tub drain.
Leave more consumable supplies out for long stays, e.g. paper towles, toilet tissue, dishsoap, etc.
Put a cloth mattress pad over the plastic matress enclosures. Without it you feel hot and sticky. Love that you have the enclosure bags though!
Once again, were were happy here and would recommend it without hesitation.
