The Asbury House | Luxury Private Getaway

The only thing I would say and I know this is not a big deal, but we could have used a bigger baking sheet for cooking. This was our second time staying at this house and I plan on staying there again next year. Great experience as always.

The Asbury house was clean inside (with a few minor exceptions) and has amazing potential. Lots of space with 4 bedrooms; the primary suite being the nicest, with a beautiful bathroom/closet area. The furnishings were a bit more shabby than expected (though fairly comfortable) and the outdoor space was dirty enough to mostly prevent us from using. No comment on the jacuzzi/sauna, as we did not use. That said, the host and cohost were very responsive, helpful, and professional when we contacted them.

I begin by stating this was my first experience with an air b&b so maybe my expectations were not accurate. The place met our needs for a family get together. There are things to do with the game room garage, sauna and hot tub. The place is new, well furnished with plenty beds. The kitchen cookware was sparse and in need of cleaning prior to use. The landscaping was in shambles with small trees growing through shrubs and grass knee deep. The patio was dirty. Apparently there is no exterior maintenance agreement. We cleaned up prior using the outdoor eating area. I felt that the price would warrant better.

We’ve stayed at several VRBO houses and this one didn’t compare to previous experiences. The first impression when we arrived wasn’t good. The grass looked like it hadn’t been mowed in weeks and the landscaping was awful. We weren’t going to try and use the hot tub because we were afraid of what condition it was in since the rest of the yard was in bad shape. One of the reasons we booked the house was because it had a game room. The house was supposed to be pet free but the game room reeked of wet dog and unfortunately with my families allergies, we weren’t able to enjoy the fun. We arrived on Friday and realized on Saturday the dryer wasn’t working properly. We contacted the host and she had a tech out on Sunday to fix it. We used the gas oven Sunday evening making pizzas but tried using it again later and smelled gas. We had several meals we had to abandon since we couldn’t use the oven. Of course this ended up costing us more money to eat out. The couch had many stains on it causing us to sit on blankets before sitting on it. The hall way bathroom shower drain was clogged and on took hours for it to drain properly, causing us to have to use the other bathrooms. The house definitely has potential but needs some maintenance.Questioning whether to use VRBO again in the future. When we told the host about the drain issue upon leaving we received no response leading us to believe she didn’t care about our experience.
