Overall Summary
This home is in a great location. Nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac with lots of privacy for the area. Great amenities at the house for the whole family to enjoy.
Ted is a great host who did everything he could to help us with our stay. We had a couple things go wrong that he quickly was willing to make right. (Pool and hot tub heat was not working properly, had an issue with cleanliness and he had housekeeping out to fix.)
Our main critique would be in regards to kitchen and bath supplies, it felt very bare bones for a family home. I like bullet summaries so I put our biggest pros and cons below:
Pros:
- private lot at the end of a cup-de-sac (don’t see into next door neighbors backyards)
- large house with plenty of room to spread out, with bedrooms on opposite sides of the house.
- Smart TVs in every room
- Great outdoor area
- Hot tub and heated pool
- Screened in pool, safety fence for young kids!
- Nice game room with pool, foosball, air hockey and a PS5.
- Nice breakfast nook and dining table.
Cons
- Extra cost to heat pool
- No grill, needed to rent one
- Very minimal kitchen supplies (No salt, pepper, spices, Pam spray, or condiments, no sugar packets for coffee
- No lids for the Pyrex bowls, No saran wrap or aluminum foil
- No dish soap, no scouring pad, no kitchen wash cloths.
- Very little amount of towels (should have an extra 2-4 per room!) Towels are looking a little thin.
- Very little amount of toilet paper, trash bags, etc
- No safety plugs in outlets for babies
- No first aid kit
- Would be nice to have a storage bin with some kids toys in the pool area
Some of these cons are probably similar for a lot of VRBO’s in the time of Covid, it just felt a little out of place for what we were expecting, so at least you can have the right expectations going in.
