The Skoolie was such a treat... esp for having just retired from teaching! The inside was really cute and super clean. Everything you would need was provided. The area was quiet and peaceful.

My bro-n-law and I totally enjoyed our stay at this cool little place on the canal! It was very clean with an abundance of supplies! We had just enough room for a twin air mattress next to the futon. That AC unit was spot on! I hate to give a 5 star review to decrease my chances of renting it again, but the host Taisha deserves it!

It’s just like the pictures. Very quiet location. Everything inside was so cute and neatly decorated. Everything you need is inside. Deck looking over the water is perfect with a nice breeze. Perfect for just a couple looking to get away for the weekend!

True Bliss

I stayed 5 nights on Skoolie. I had an amazing time there. The bus is neat and cozy, and has everything you would need for a stay. The property is wonderful inside and out. All the different gathering areas give you a new view everyday. I corresponded with the owner several times and she was always prompt and helpful with her responses. Will I stay there again? In a heartbeat!

Renter contacted us less than 24 hours before checkout to complain about: 1. Hot water not working 2. Ants 3. Tv not working Less than 12 hours later, we addressed her issue. 1. We adjusted the hot water heater to their liking. 2. Renter could not point one an insect. We offered to spray and she declined 3. We showed her how to change the input on the tv. Renter then violated Vrbo terms of service by asking my husband for a cash refund and was later asked to leave the property due to this. The morning of checkout, she complained again of insects and sent a photo of sand in the shower and a piece of a plastic bag on the bed SCAM ARTIST! BEWARE DO NOT ALLOW ON YOUR PROPERTY!

I will give a GOOD review but………

The bus is adorable and great for two people. Great location, very clean, Bed is comfy, just about everything you need in the kitchen. We had a wonderful time relaxing, fishing off the very nice top deck, driving the short distance to Crystal beach. In the heat of the summer, the bus air conditioner has a very hard time keeping the place cool, it got down right hot in there during the heat of the day. They also have two fans available, but they just pushed hot air around. The evening temp inside was perfect. You are instructed to not flush any toilet paper at all which we were unaware of. Not that big of deal, just kind of Gross. We ended up putting a big blanket over the front window for more privacy and to try and help keep the heat out. I think we would stay again, but never in the hot summer time.

Please carefully consider who you choose to rent from

When looking for a place in March ,I communicated with this owner regarding the amenities listed. It was confirmed by that a golf cart was included in the rental. Upon arrival there was no golf cart. When questioned, the owner simply said “ so for the inconvenience “. This was very upsetting for us as we had planned our entire trip on around easy access to the beach. When we asked for a change in the terms of the rental, because we were now going to need to rent a golf cart, the owner canceled our reservation. This owner stated that she had known for some time that there was not going to be a cart available to us , but did not notify us prior to our arrival. And she thought that it was ok to cancel our reservation after we had arrived at the property. All of this was very upsetting and could have ruined our trip. But fortunately there are very nice people in the area and they will have my future business. I highly recommend Sand Dollar Vacation Rental and Jay’s Golf Cart Rental. This little place is cute enough but the neighborhood is not great and kind of unkept. And in our interactions with the owner, she is not a nice person. She said I should not have requested a change in the terms because a free amenity was not available, that is why she canceled our reservation . If you stay there don’t question the owner or you may find yourself without a place to stay.

Customer rented property with free golf cart as an amenity. Unfortunately a recent renter damaged golf cart and we could not repair or replace. After customer asked for a cash refund for a free amenity that was no longer provided, which is against the terms of service, we went ahead and cancelled her reservations. Client Wanted to stay for free and for us to provide a refund for her to rent her own golf cart. Please avoid these scam artists.
