The good - This home is beautiful, the pictures are very accurate, it is very well maintained and clean. It is a great place for a couple or a family. Minor issues are that there are quite a few yellow jacket nests around, including 3 or 4 on the patio that should be handled as part of standard maintenance, and the nice leather recliners are very difficult to use. They probably need some mechanical adjustments. I’m a tall adult man and I had difficulty closing the foot rests while sitting. The one major issue we had was with communication. When we got to the house at 10:30PM on a Saturday, the owner hadn’t turned off the alarm. The alarm kept going off every time we opened a door. The cops showed up and ran our licenses. We called the phone number for the property manager a half dozen times but no one answered. We opened a case with VRBO customer support who also couldn’t get a hold of the property manager or the owner. They gave us the owner’s number, but again no answer to multiple calls or texts. Dealing with the cops (who were very understanding) and having the loud screech of the alarm every time we opened a door while unloading the car was not what I wanted to deal with after driving for 16 hours. I understand that mistakes happen, but there should be contingencies in place for things and having someone who answers the phone isn’t too much to accept. The owner texted the following morning (could have given us the curtesy if a call) and said the alarm was now off and apologized. We never heard from the property manager.
The short version is, this is a beautiful place and I do recommend it but they really need to improve the accessibility of contacts if there is an issue.
