Our recent VRBO stay had some strong positives, but also a few disappointing issues—primarily with the pool and a few comfort details.The home itself was exactly what we needed and worked well for our stay. It was clean, functional, and overall a great space for our family. That said, it is clearly an older property, which showed in a few ways. The dishwasher was quite loud, and it was difficult to keep the house cool—especially without any fans available to help circulate air.The biggest concern was the pool. Upon arrival, it was not in a usable condition. There were insulation particles, bugs, and tree debris floating throughout. I ended up having to manually skim the pool so my grandkids could swim. Additionally, the pool vacuum never appeared to run during our stay, even though the listing requested that we leave it in the pool when not in use—which we did.Another point worth noting is that the listing photos made it appear as though there was a hot tub connected to the pool. That turned out not to be the case, which was disappointing and a bit misleading.Overall, while the home itself met our needs, the pool maintenance and a few comfort-related details fell short of expectations. With better upkeep and clearer listing information, this could be a much stronger experience.I would still highly recommend this property.
