The property was very nice, and the decorations were pretty. However, as the house is pretty large, and has a room with bunk beds, it seems that many of the guests would have children (we did). It might be good to reconsider the decorations to be more kid-friendly. For example, the coffee table in the family room is class, with no edge protection. There are also a lot of small plants in glass vases. One other recommendation is that I would not have a prepaid damage deposit. My experience with other VRBO properties (I'm also a VRBO property owner) is that there are already procedures in place to charge for damages. The effect of the prepaid deposit was to leave me uneasy about whether I'd be charged for pre-existing items (i.e. carpet stains, scratches on walls, missing outdoor chair cushion, etc.) without the ability to discuss whether we had caused them. I didn't want to bother the manager with every possible detail, but it weighed on me during the stay. I waited a few days until after our checkout for a refund, and then contacted the manager. We received our refund, but the process took a toll on what would have been a much more relaxed stay. I realize that this may be a common VRBO policy, but I would probably not book a house with this in the future.
