Check in was very easy , and communication with the owner was among the best of any rental I've visited. Some things didn't go as planned, but they were addressed as quickly as possible. There are some great places to gather both inside and outside, and our group of 8 had a fantastic time during our stay.

All of the blankets had white crusty stains on them. Pillows were yellowed. Knives had tips broken off, pans were dirty (we had to scrub them ourselves). Wasps in the game room, dead bugs in kitchen hanging from ceiling trim. All ping pong balls but 1 were cracked. Nba jam stool was broken. The house overall was dirty, floors had dirt on them.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We take cleanliness and guest experience very seriously and would like to address several of the concerns mentioned in your review. All blankets, bedding sheets, and linens in the home are brand new and were recently purchased prior to your stay. We also provide a variety of additional clean bed sheets and linens stored in the basement for guest convenience, many in which have not been used yet. Additionally, all pans, cookware, and cooking utensils are thoroughly scrubbed, cleaned, and disinfected between every guest stay as part of our standard turnover process. Following your checkout, we did note that multiple doors, garage doors, and windows had been left open, and there was a strong smoke odor throughout portions of the home along with cigarette buds found on the property. Unfortunately, leaving openings unattended in this manner can allow bugs and flies to enter the home. Regarding the game room items, the NBA Jam stool was inspected and confirmed to be in perfect working condition prior to your arrival. We also keep two packs of brand new 3-star ping pong balls available onsite for immediate guest use. We always appreciate guest feedback and continuously work to maintain the property to a high standard for all visitors.

Great family home

This place was great for my husband and I and my son and daughter-in-law and their kids 6 & 9. We were in town for a wedding and this house was so much fun that everyone wanted to meet up here. The heated saltwater pool was great along with the converted garage with it’s ping pong table and TV area to watch sports. Absolutely was a great place for our family and friends.

Thank you Jennifer for the stay, we are sorry you had difficulty getting it to work. We did send instructions that activate the sauna. Previous guests used those same instructions and seemed to have got it to turn on. I also stopped by to make sure it functions correct and got it on. Hopefully if you book again I can perhaps come by and show you how to function it.

Pool and games

The pool was good and the games were used by the kids. Two of the bathrooms are laid out different but usable. The space was more than adequate. I would suggest that the owner leave an information booklet on how to use items and when garbage day is but all went well.

Nice but could have been cleaner

Nice for a group of friends. lots of bedrooms & bathrooms. heated pool was awesome! The house wasn't the cleanest. Dog pee on the floor in the living room, some type of poop up stairs in bedroom closet, bugs like spiders & centipedes in a lot of the rooms, basement had water issue, the carpet was wet. I believe they had a flooded basement before we arrived. They also had big rats outside getting in our trash both nights when we were outside. Rat poop was also next to the pool floats on the ground.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 August 2024
Thank you Bianca for your stay but I am a reluctant to believe the accuracy to this review. The home gets fully detailed and cleaned in between every guest. There are photos taken of the home from our turn down service and no evidence of all the deification you are referring to. An outdoor animal is unfortunately part of nature we have to accept and a rat being outside is something that can not be controlled. Upon your check out also your group left several lights on, towels outside of the home and also received a noise complaint from our neighbors.

Awesome place to hand out

Great location in Royal Oak. Nice, quiet neighborhood. interior was nice - with many upgrades. Bedrooms were very comfortable. Kitchen handled Thanksgiving - which is saying something. The dining room table is fantastic. It was a great place for the dinner with all the fixings but also worked well for computer games and work. The highlight is the "hangout" factor. Comfortable chairs and couches in the basement, first floor and the converted garage entertainment Mecca. No shortage of TV's. The entertainment Mecca was awesome. Not that we're competitive, but there were friendly wages on putting, ping pong and the NBA arcade game. It was a blast. No pool obviously (since it was November) but that can only add to the fun. The host was also fantastic - easy to communicate with and accommodated a little tweak that was unexpectedly needed.

Check in was easy and the cleanliness overall was acceptable however there are issues that should be addressed. The pool was dirty including broken tiles at the bottom. We were told someone would be coming Monday or Tuesday to vacuum but that did not happen. The grill was very gross and therefore unusable. The separate game house was in good order. There were random solo cups found in various areas of the main house that had clearly been sitting there a long time (dried residue of some prior beverage or substance or mold) Both coffee makers were not working. No towels were in any bathrooms and all were located in the basement. The dishwasher was completely full when we arrived so we had to unload that ourselves. The dryer was also full so we had to unload that as well. Two used semi damp towels were still hanging over the upstairs shower door at arrival. Pros: the outside area is good for entertaining and the pool was definitely a perk. Game room was fun. If the above things were addressed I would stay again.

Thank you for your feedback. We regret the inconveniences you experienced and have since addressed all concerns. It was addressed the week prior was excessive rain and the pool was cleaned on the weekly schedule and this was communicated to you. The grill was fully functional and usable, and both coffee makers are fully functional. Housekeeping procedures have been improved to ensure all areas, appliances, and amenities are properly prepared prior to check-in. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you again.
