Let me begin by saying we stay in 5-7 Vacation Rental Properties per yr. VRBO is our platform of choice.
This Property has a 5 star view. That is apparent by one quick glance at any photo taken from its wrap around 360 degree porch.
But.....
And its a BUT..... that needs to be discussed before renting this home. The home is in much need of repair and some TLC. Their are numerous ceiling patches from previous water damage coming from upstairs plumbing.
We had, at some points through out our stay up to 1/4 inch of water in one of the bathroom /bedroom closet areas downstairs. The homeowner was of course informed of this during our stay, and his response was simply ' thanks for letting me know'.
Not a, "was any of your items water damaged?" , or a "do I need to send someone out to clean up the water?" or even a "let me get right on this to fix it".
Let alone a follow up on this later, to find out the progress of this water issue.
One strike there for communication by homeowner. There were several other times we contacted the homeowner with unrelated questions where we had no reply whatsoever from the homeowner. Uncalled for in the age of technology. especially given 24-48 for a reply of any kind.
The other negative report I would mention is the amount of or I should say Lack of, glasssware, cookware in the home. With a home this size with such a very large potential occupancy rate, this is completely unacceptable. I counted a total of 5-6 large glasses, 1 wine glass, and 1 small size glass. Bowls are almost non existent. 1 saute/.frying pan. We made the best of it with 11 adults in our group by grabbing some red solo cups and some cookware on the second day of our stay.
The home has such potential and deserves a thorough deep cleaning ( for starters all the dead flies in the hard to reach window areas of the foyer ) ALL of the issues we experienced could be very quickly resolved if the proper attention to this Beautiful Property was addressed.
Oddly enough, our group would easily Re-Book this home for a future stay, if we could be confident its conditions and the communication of the homeowner were improved.
The Homeowner/Property Owner needs to step up their game. You have a very nice property here, best of luck with it.
