This place looks great in the photos, but BEWARE: this place is NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. My wife, our kids, and my in-laws stayed here for a week in April 2021. Here is a short list of the many, many pitfalls of this VRBO listing.
- The AC was BROKEN and never fixed. THE ENTIRE WEEK.
- The house is PAINFULLY close to the neighbors on both sides. This meant listening to EVERY conversation, smelling EVERY cigarette and EVERY joint, and watching grown men pee off the multiple balconies. We listened to our neighbors blaring music, their constant dog barking (dog had been tied up outside), and we listened to our fair share of inappropriate language / conversations. Being so close to our neighbors also meant absolutely NO quiet time for my family to sit outside with a cup of coffee to enjoy a sunrise or a sunset. At bedtime we were forced to listen to music and loud parties until the wee hours of the night. We did call the management companies for both our house and the neighbor's, both of whom said that calling the police was our only recourse.
- The house was FILTHY. The amount of pet hair was UNACCEPTABLE. The sofas were FULL of pet hair. The sofas in general were DISGUSTING. The sofa in the movie theater and the seats in the movie theater were GROSS - as though they had never been cleaned before. We rented the house the week after Easter. There was half-eaten candy / candy wrappers in EVERY BED, under the beds, in between sofa cushions, in bedroom drawers, and strewn about the lawn. There were ants all over. The dishwasher was broken. The floor was covered in dust and sand. When we called the management company they said "thank you for letting us know."
- Every single room in this house has a huge TV. Sounds awesome. We were looking forward to watching baseball every night. NONE OF THE REMOTES WORK. Each TV has multiple remotes and there is a laminated sheet with instructions. We could not get the TVs to work. The house has a movie theater, but you cannot watch TV in this room. You must have DVDs of your own to watch.
- Both of the washing machines SMELLED of MOLD and left your clothes stinking of old, wet clothes.
- The house has a shuffleboard but the pieces won't slide down the board. I am not sure if it is because they don't have the correct sand, but it was totally useless.
- There were old cans strewn about outside
- The cleaning crew showed up an hour early and sat staring while we loaded our car
