Has the potential to be great…
The house was very clean. The location was A for a trip to Disney and Universal. The host was very responsive. The community pool was a 3 minute walk with a delightfully warm big pool and lazy river. We had a great time. But….we have stayed in many VRBOs. I have never stayed in one so lacking in accoutrements. 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom. Not a single item in the pantry. No salt. No coffee or filters. They want you to wash towels before you leave, but no detergent. They threaten to charge you if they have to do more than 3 loads of laundry. How do we use fewer bedsheets? Everywhere else we have ever stayed had at least a few basics in the kitchen. Not hereThe pool had free heat. That was a major reason we booked here. The pool was heated to a frigid level. Yes it’s January, but the community pool was comfy. Not the private pool in our unit. And the beds, while comfortable, were sooooo squeaky. Don’t you dare roll over or you wake the whole family A few bucks spent on some kitchen essentials and better mattress pads could easily take this to 5 stars. And if you don’t want to heat the pool, charge for pool heat. I would have paid (and I even asked if I needed to before my trip and was told no need)I really liked the place but it’s the finishing touches that make a place special. They seemed to actively try to avoid those.
