Great location and amazing sunset views, but the property needs serious maintenance. Ovens didnât work, some kitchen items were dirty, the elevator was broken (lots of stairs!), and the AC blew hot air, making it unbearably warm at night. Couldnât reach the manager despite trying.
Everything was great, big home, very clean but the ac didn't work at all. only on the bottom floor the coolers work down stairs. but Up stair was super hot even at night time. Good thing we were at the marina all day Saturday.
Our large family made up of mostly adults with a few children recently rented a 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom house through VRBO, anticipating a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Unfortunately, our experience was far from satisfactory.
Upon arrival, we were greeted with an overwhelming smell of tobacco smoke in one of the bedrooms adjacent to the garage. This room was completely unusable due to the unsafe conditions, resulting in two fewer beds than we had anticipated. This was a major inconvenience for our large group.
Our disappointment continued when we discovered significant rodent droppings in the game room. The presence of these droppings made the room unsafe to use, especially considering the risk of illnesses such as hantavirus. This was another blow to our plans, as the game room was one of the main attractions for the children.
The living room was also in a deplorable state, with significant dust, dirt, and spider webs throughout. This level of neglect in cleanliness was unacceptable, especially given the substantial cost of the rental.
Overall, we were deeply shocked and disappointed by the state of this home. For the amount we paid, we expected a much higher standard of cleanliness and safety. This experience has left us hesitant to rent through VRBO in the future.
Lovely hilltop cabin thatâs great for a large family
Because it rained during our trip, we stayed indoors majority of the time and did not feel cramped. On the first floor, there are 4 bedrooms, a spacious family area, a well-equipped kitchen, outdoor patio with stairs that connects to a small basketball area on the second floor (surface level).
There was an outdoor sitting area, and two bbq grills (propane and pellet).
On the second floor (surface level), there are two additional bedrooms and game room that are adjacent to the main garage. The third floor is just another garageâŠthat driveway was where we parked five of our cars.
Some things to note, we submitted a guest list and had to pay for a permit since the location was within a gated community. When we went to the Lake, we had to park on the main road because the parking lot only allowed in residents on specific days and holidays. We also had some trouble connecting with the wifi at the house.
