In my experience, pictures of a prospective rental are rarely 100% accurate. This was no exception. There were a few nuisance issues: Tub filler leaked onto the floor (we taped a ziplock bag under it to flow into the tub); the TV didn't work for 3 days (Kat finally sent a service tech out to fix it--thank you!)
But the biggest disappointment was the poor cleaning before our stay. Floors were filthy, dishes and flatware had to be washed before use. Again, Kat kindly refunded our cleaning deposit. Very thoughtful!
ALL IN ALL, we enjoyed our stay. It is a great location, the property has real potential. We loved the deck and platforms at the ocean's edge. If we owned this property, we'd put a little more funds into conveniences, decor, and definitely hire a better cleaning crew.
Saddle Point was a wonderful place for us to celebrate out 37th Wedding Anniversary. Relaxing and wonderful ocean views to enjoy.
Finally, while very happy with the treatment by VRBO, this is the 3rd Vacasa vacation rental for us to prove very disappointing where cleanliness was concerned. We will likely never rent another Vacasa home.
