Great place to stay if everything worked
Arrived and the playset was missing. Listing was only updated after I mentioned that it was a major factor and we had really looked forward to playing with our son on it. Also this house is split into a duplex so you don't have the whole home as VRBO advertised. This is mentioned by the owner after expanding all the fine print details about the property. The hot tub was COLD and they would only let it run a few hours at a time. No guest controls on the hot tub either. Had to message the host in advance every time we wanted to use it and it took hours to heat up. There was not baseline temp either, it was cold just a few hours after each use. There is a floodlight camera near the pool that was constantly flashing off and on our entire stay- not exactly the relaxing time in the hot tub viewing stars that we've had other places. Tiny black ants were everywhere. They address this in their welcome book on the entertainment console saying it's normal in Florida to have bugs. I've lived in Jacksonville before and this isn't the norm. They were on the bedside tables, countertops, and the floor where I planned on playing with our son. Every morning woke up with them in my glass of water. Found socks and underwear from the previous renter in the dresser - gross! Master shower is nice and had room for my son to play in the water though the hot water seemed lacking in supply compared to home and ran out after 20 minutes or so. This place has potential but seemed like it was being rented before it was ready.
