Great location and fantastic amenities
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2024
First the no animals was great as we have an asthmatic in the group. I rent about two houses a year, family on both coasts. For over 15 years. This house exceeded our expectations. I have never had such a well equipped house. The bathrooms had every supply you could need. The kitchen had good cooking set up and the spice cabinet was complete. The grandkids loved the snacks provided the cereal and cheddar fish they could help themselves to. Coffee bar was a nice feature. Most houses offer nothing in the way of basics , even sugar and coffee. The house bedding feels new and all rooms are tastefully decorated. Fireplace was a nice asset. The fools ball and ping pong were great entertainment. The winner was the play bedroom. A walk in closet full of every age toys. Enough Legos for everyone.

The house was well stocked and had everything we needed plus some additional snacks that were made available. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

I have spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted to convey to people who are considering this property and I can only say that I was both shocked & disappointed by the email I received after our stay & the list of things our family was accused of breaking or doing wrong which resulted in the loss of our deposit. The rule we broke is that no more than 4 cars are allowed in the driveway at a time. Due to a change in circumstances that I was not aware of prior to people arriving we had 5 cars. We tried to be diligent about making sure we stayed to the 4 car minimum but we were having dinner together one night & forgot about the car rule . The owner showed up to express her displeasure & advise me that neighbors were complaining & that one of the cars were sticking out of the driveway. I apologized & told her we would move a car immediately and we did. I was shocked to see a list of things that she is accusing us of breaking or doing wrong. It’s upsetting to me because it paints a picture of our family that isn’t true. We have rented many VRBO’s over the years and have never had a complaint or a problem If you look at the reviews of this rental or others they own I am not the first person this has happened to.
