We really enjoyed the convenience of the location as it was so easy to get anywhere - close to the highway, close to airport and close to the old Port. Our host was very responsive and friendly.

Pictures are deceiving!

First, the property looked like it was abandoned! When we pulled up the knee-high tall grass, dumbbell in the yard, ripped window screens, and the trees and shrub blocking the doorway entry on the sidewalk, was not a welcome sight! I was told the grass and landscape was because of rain, therefore it wasn’t attended to. Funny, but now have seen other people in reviews complain about the same thing. No excuse! When we did enter the house, the owner was still there (after check in time). The house smelled like someone had just cooked a meal. The appliances were nasty (you could have written your name in the smudge on the microwave). The owner said it was professionally cleaned! If so, he got screwed over because it was not! Also, the description says AC. It does have an AC floor unit. It was in the 90’s and humid, and the floor air unit was not on. Amazing! We were there for 10 minutes, opened the door to the garage, and the owner was still there! That was weird to say the least. We left! I have been in contact with the host (no refund) so I am in contact with VRBO. We have rented several properties over the years and this is our worst experience by far. The expectations were not met. I hope this is not a trend for VRBO. If so, I will probably go back to opting for Hotels.

Spacious

I booked in the month of July. Overall, the stay was good. Nice location, quiet neighborhood outside of the bustle, good amount of parking, spacious house. Easy communication with the owners., very quick responses. A few things to note if staying here. 1. The pictures are much nicer than IRL. Seems to have some wear and tear from age. 2. The house does not have central air, rather individual rooms have units and fans. 3. There were a lot of ants, spiders, daddy long legs throughout the rooms and the house. Mosquitoes filled the home because of the individual room AC units (window openings from the unit). We all had several bites each evening. 4. The rooms are very bright. Not enough window shades or the right type of window shades. Bedrooms could use curtains to keep darker. The dining area and living room could use shades to be pulled for whenever we left to keep the house cooler in temp. We were asked to turn off the ac every time we left…which meant the house was SUPER hot every evening. All in all nice place to stay!

Stroudwater stay

The host was excellent. Responded to concerns immediately. He is sometimes in a separate apartment in the back of the house. It is sound proof as advertised. You won’t know he is there. However, The property needs some help. I cleaned the bathtub, closet shelves and swept the top deck and front door area. The shrubs block the walkway in the front. Need to be trimmed. The back yard is not like the picture, the fence needs to be fixed and several items put away. The trash can and recycle bin in the kitchen needed to be cleaned before plastic is put in them. The property is listed as air conditioned. Two floor units in the bedrooms work fine but the main level was very hot. Need a unit on the first level for the hot weather.
