This was probably the most well-stocked VRBO we’ve ever experienced! It was so easy to cook meals, enjoy the pool with kids (plenty of floaties and toys), and there were tons of towels and extra blankets! We would definitely book here again. It was a great stay!

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The space and communication was great until I informed the host we suspected there were bed bugs in the guest bedrooms. One of the guests woke up with many red bites and we dismissed it as potential allergy or even insect bites since we had gone hiking. The next morning she woke up with even more and that’s when we figured out it could be bed bugs. The host responded apologizing asking what room. When I responded again, sharing the room we suspected and informed it was confirmed cases of bed bugs after medical visits from two guests. I never received further communication. It’s unfortunate that our book club retreat ended in this way, and although we know there are many factors, it would have been great to get a response with solutions or some type of compensation for the inconvenience, aftermath treatments to all our homes, and the uncomfortableness it caused.
