The only thing that prevented me from giving 5 stars was the abysmal air conditioning. I can only speak for this on the upper unit. Luckily the nights cooled off and there were plenty of windows to let the cool air in. Everything else was great! The property manager, Truman, was great and very responsive. The house was cute and had everything we needed. I liked that there were lots of coffee pods!

Our experience with this VRBO was extremely disappointing.Two weeks before our stay, I messaged Truman through VRBO asking two short question. I received no response. Six days before arrival, I left a brief voicemail. His text reply was, "What could be so pressing that you're calling me so persistently? I am travelling. You will get directions 24 hours before check-in." I was shocked and didn't contact him again.He later confirmed we could not check in early, so we arrived at the scheduled 3:00 p.m. check-in time. The cleaners were still there, so we left for 45 minutes. When we returned, only half the house had been cleaned. Two bedrooms and the upstairs kitchen still had unmade beds, garbage, and hadn't been cleaned. VRBO couldn't reach Truman, and after a long delay he finally responded by text. Our family, including my 88-year-old grandmother, couldn't get ready for our wedding and were very upset.Even after the cleaning was finished, the bathtub faucet didn't work, the ice maker didn't work, there were no ice trays, and we found hair left in a bathroom sink.After we returned home, I requested a partial refund because the home wasn't ready at check-in and we lost valuable time. Truman refused any compensation. Based on the lack of communication, incomplete cleaning, maintenance issues, and refusal to make things right, I cannot recommend this property. Worst VRBO stay I have ever had. House is cute but don't be fooled!

Extremely Frustrating and Unprofessionally Managed StayThis was one of the most stressful vacation rentals we’ve ever experienced, and it completely failed to meet even basic expectations of safety, cleanliness, and management.Most seriously, the front door was broken and could not be locked for the entirety of our stay. This put our valuables at risk and was especially alarming since we were traveling with a toddler and a dog. Because the home could not be secured, an adult always had to stay behind, meaning we could never leave together. We repeatedly requested that a locksmith be sent to rekey or secure an alternate door, and no action was taken. The front door was never fixed.The cleanliness was also unacceptable. The home was very dusty, and the bathrooms smelled moldy. We ended up buying our own air purifiers and a steam mop and cleaning the floors ourselves just to feel comfortable staying there.The dishwasher was broken for three days, forcing us to use paper plates for every meal. When it was finally replaced, it happened during our stay, creating additional chaos, noise, and disruption. To make matters worse, the repair technician could not get in touch with the property manager, Truman, who was consistently unresponsive and unprofessional.Management issues were constant. Although we were scheduled to arrive Sunday night (and paid for that night), due to a family emergency we arrived Monday afternoon and still found a cleaning crew actively working. It was
