Charming Stay
I was worried that race weekend would result in poor accommodations, but this charming house was just right. We didn’t need anything fancy and it was perfect for 7 or 8 people. Quiet neighborhood, easy to find, good communication.

Use another place to stay Instead
First time trying VRBO. Standing outside of our rental at midnight and the code was never set for us to get in. Tried calling the "24 hour number". What do we get?... an answering machine telling us that they are open from 7 to 9. We tried many times to get in.... total fail! So, with a car load of groceries and a tired group of people we had to find another place to sleep in the middle of the night. I was so upset, I could hardly sleep. We were finally able to contact whoever was in charge so they could set the code for us to enter. We moved all our groceries and stuff to the new place early AM so we wouldn't be late for our meetings. When we returned we couldn't log into the WiFi. The password they had given us in the welcome email was incorrect. We wanted to run the dishwasher, but there was no dishwasher soap. All in all we survived, but will never do that again. I don't know if this is how VRBO runs or just this house, but you know what they say, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me." I won't waste my time with VRBO again.

Convenient and pleasant stay
The house itself was everything we needed, lots of beds and rooms. The host was extremely pleasant and actually allowed us to check-in 7 HOURS early. My only very minor complaint was that we received check-in instructions late at night the night before and didn't receive check-out instructions until 3 minutes before check out, at which point we'd already left.
