Very nice location of home. It was very convenient for us since our son lives in the same community. The host was very easy to get a hold of and helpful. The owner was very accommodating! Would definitely stay again

Clean, older home. Breakers for the front porch lights kept tripping and the internet was barely functional but overall a decent stay. Just don't plan to work remotely.

We are happy you found our older house comfortable and clean, and that you had an adequate stay. We’re sorry to hear about the inconveniences you experienced, and after reviewing your feedback, the homeowner wanted to share the following:- We recently discovered that the internet speed was unexpectedly lower with our new plan, and we apologize for the impact this may have had on your stay. As of January 2nd, we've upgraded back to 500 Mbps to better support multiple users, including those working remotely.- In addition to the porch light, there is a motion-sensitive light that may have turned on and off due to windy weather. It's set to shut off automatically after about a minute, but we understand this may have been disruptive.Thanks again for your feedback so we can continue improving the guest experience!

Adjust your expectations. The surrounding views are breathtaking. From the view on the porch to the roads out of the development. Decor was normal, nothing over the top or crazy. The home was built in the 70’s and not much has been done to update or address issues over the years. We ended our stay early due to plumbing issues. I believe the owner was amicable but the vrbo customer service was horrendous! There are smaller 3rd party companies that leverage these big name site for distribution- go directly to them to bypass vrbos customer service.

"From the owner: Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m glad you were able to enjoy the porch views, trees, and creek. I’m sorry the plumbing issue disrupted your stay and led you to leave early. As soon as we were aware, we worked to get it resolved quickly and offered a nearby option so your day could stay on track while repairs were underway. The issue has been addressed, and I appreciate your feedback as I continue keeping the home comfortable and well cared for."
