Pros and Cons about this location

Place was very clean. Had trouble gaining access and host would not return phone calls and had to call Vrbo for assistance. Vrbo was great! Pros - very clean, quiet neighborhood, good price. Cons - only 2 bath towels, no top sheets for bed only fitted sheets, but bed very comfortable, could not use ceiling fan in living room due to it makes a very loud noise when in operation, floor plan not senior friendly due to step up to kitchen, step down into bedroom - not all one level which should be noted in description for seniors. Received email from host that he would be able to accommodate our early check-in but check in was 3:00 and after, we were not there until around 5:00 or after, what early check-in? Host only replies if he does by internet. We did not have access to internet at this location until we had to go to nearby grocery store and use their internet. Host would not reply to any phone calls or texts. Would not stay here again.

Just not a great VRBO

I’ll start with the good. The neighborhood is quiet. The house was cleaned well. The manager replies quickly to issues. Lots of cookware. Now informational things Not in an area with sidewalks so not very walkable. Grocery store is walkable distance though. This house is actually a trailer that someone added a bedroom / living room to years ago and ceiling height in the kitchen is only about 6’. Overall, it’s old and poorly done construction. The bad things now. When we arrived, despite the bed being cutely made up, there was no top sheet and none anywhere in the house. Just bottom sheet and blanket. He overnighted some to us along with clothes hangers that we also didn’t have. But how does that happen? There was a major plumbing issue with the grey water. Had to have been an issue for years. I let him know what I saw to prevent major damage to the house. it’s related to how it’s been plumbed since the 1960s and never should have passed inspection. Wish now I hadn’t notified him as 2 different plumbing contractors came to work on it on 2 different days. We work remotely and were working and managing contractors at a rental. It says it sleeps 5? How? The couch frame is bent badly and couch is uncomfortable. We pulled out the sofa bed to see if we could fix it and that frame is what’s bent - glad we didn’t need to use it. The main bed has an enormous dent in it that makes sleep uncomfortable. Not a good value overall. This needs lots of fixes to be a decent VRBO.

It was fine

I booked this instead of a hotel for 2 nights because I wanted a kitchen. The place was clean except the fridge had a stale smell and the ice maker didn’t work. During the day there was construction, which was noisy and one of the access roads was blocked off. That’s not the owner’s fault but it’s information for anyone booking now. Note that you have to take out the trash and strip the beds or risk losing your deposit. My opinion on this is that is what the cleaning fee is for. Staying here is more expensive than a hotel yet I have to do more. But I didn’t deduct points for that since I’ve stayed at other VRBOs that ask the same. I like to know that ahead of time though because it does make a difference to me. Overall it was quiet at night and has lots of parking as advertised.

Spotless, up-to-date cottage

This Florida cottage was spacious, well equipped, very reasonably priced, and the remodel made it quite up to date. Bedroom had a peaceful, Zen feeling to it. Neighbors were far enough away so the property provides plenty of quiet and privacy. The property manager was super responsive, too. We'd definitely stay there again if we go back to Zephyrhills.

Safe haven from the storm

I needed a place to stay with my 2 dogs during the storm. The owners were exceptionally helpful with the booking process and promptly answered questions as I also needed to work. The cottage was clean, tastefully decorated and a well stocked kitchen that more than met my expectations. The large yard was so nice for the dogs to run a bit. I will definitely stay here again!!
