On the day of arrival we kept waiting for an email or something to go out with the front door code. We tried calling multiple times and messaging in Facebook. Finally while we were on hold with VBRO 25 minutes after check-in the listing person returned our call and we finally made it inside.
The small pool is larger than it looks. Maybe 4ft by 8-10 feet. Perfect for kids to splash around in or adults to sit and cool off. We did have to pick up some broken glass and a beer bottle cap as well as clean the sliding door track (dirt, grime, and dog hair build up made it next to impossible for kids to open and close.)
As it is a rental there obviously has been some damage from others. Broken kitchen cabinet, cracked microwave, broken window shutters, cracked medicine cabinet.
The forks and spoons were not sufficient, but there was an abundance of knives. Also an abundance of spices left by others.
The house has high ceilings and high windows which lack window coverings, therefore the air conditioner has a habit of blowing a fuse even if you keep the house cave like. Have the person show where that is the first time they come to repair it.
The outdoor seating area and BBQ are great. The outdoor TV works well with a Nintendo switch or whatever you bring from home, but has no cable or remote. You are close to an airport to expect the occasional interruption while having an outside conversation. Inside, airport noise is very muted.
The master shower lacks lighting. The bidets on the upstairs bathrooms are very nice.
The house has nice useable and flexible spaces. The garage currently has things in it that would make it difficult to accommodate 2 vehicles, however the neighborhood is very safe so parking in the driveway or on the street should not be an issue.
While we did get off to a rough start, we did have an enjoyable time and I would consider renting this home again provided it is well cared for in the future.
