The location was fabulous! The home is beautiful, well laid out and felt spacious and located in a great neighborhood. The back deck was a great place to sit, beautiful surroundings but had no outdoor furniture. The home felt a little more like a hotel not a vacation home. No personal touches that I love when using VRBO. This home is owned by a corporation, not well stocked and none of the comforts of a home. Although the kitchen was well equipped there were very limited utensils/pots/pans/cooking supplies/dishes. Communication with the host was horrible. i quickly realized, when our wifi went out and I was trying to get resolution, I was dealing with AI and scripted responses. 2 days, no help or answers from host, I had to contact VRBO. Wifi never got resolved, entire neighborhood had no internet during our entire stay. If host would have communicated this, I would have checked into a hotel earlier The main purpose of our travel was for business. No wifi made work challenging and there was no tv/movie watching to unwind or relax. Too much of this trip was spent trying to get help with our internet or setting up hotspots for work.
