Mixed Experience - Great Potential
Positive Aspects:
1. Safe and Family-Friendly Neighborhood: Located in a safe, quiet, and family-friendly neighbourhood.
2. Amenities: Proximity to food, grocery, and pharmacy locations was convenient. The games room and the Mickey Mouse room were great. Night lights in the Mickey room were appreciated.
3. Layout and Accessibility: Loved the bungalow layout and the access to the bathroom right from the pool deck.
4. Well-Equipped Kitchen: The kitchen was spacious and easy to cook in. Newer BBQ was a plus.
Negative Aspects:
1. Conflicting Rules and Limited Resources: Some rules, like garbage disposal and laundry load restrictions, were fair but lacked the resources to complete to task. (Eg: No plastic in dishwasher / No dish soap provided. Don’t leave more than 2 loads of laundry / Not enough laundry pods given. Etc)
2. Pool and Spa Issues: Despite paying an additional fee for pool heating, restrictions on usage times and temperature limits (heat/spa turns off at 8pm or below 55F) were frustrating. The pool's cleanliness, with visible algae, was disappointing.
Overall Impressions: I wanted this to be a 5Star VRBO, but our experience was impacted by the negative aspects noted above. More basic supplies and fixing the pool heating issues would significantly enhance the overall experience.
Recommendation: It’s a great house - Just come prepared with extra ‘basics’ (eg toilet paper) and be sure to request that the pool is cleaned before you arrive.
