Pros:
Amanda is very quick to reply and helpful with booking, etc. We had never used VRBO before and in that respect she really helped things go smoothly! We had a last minute schedule change and Amanda was extremely kind and understanding and willing to work with us.
The house is in a great location and on a quiet street! We felt safe and were very pleased with the location! The house is updated. We appreciated the nice refrigerator and dishwasher! The outdoor shower was also a nice addition.
Cons:
Overall the home looked clean upon arrival but after opening window blinds we found many dead flies and the bathroom floors had a lot of hair. Minor, but we did feel that we needed to clean the bathrooms before using.
We struggled to find measuring cups, measuring spoons, a working can opener, and other basic items. If you don't plan to cook, it wouldn't be a problem at all.
Lastly, when we arrived there was an ant trap at the door and 2 on the kitchen counters. We set our leftovers on the counters as we brought them in from the car. A few minutes later when we came back close to 100 ants were all over our food. We called Amanda right away and she graciously offered to refund our money and we leave, but, in the middle of summer where were we going to find a place to stay at a moments notice? She also offered to have a company come and chemically treat the ants. But as Amanda stated, she would not even personally feel comfortable with the chemical application with two young children and nor did we. We were unable to use the kitchen much at all and had to keep all food on the kitchen table away from the ants as best we could. It was a very difficult week battling the ants. At the end of the week we asked Amanda for some small compensation for the difficulty and she would not respond. We were disappointed about this because otherwise, we would have likely returned yearly!!
