Absolutely terrible experience!
Run. Do not walk away from this listing. We arrived on a Sunday evening. After doing an inspection of the property we noticed several issues/defects that were not represented in the property listing. The back door was open, the door from the kitchen to the garage was locked from inside the garage(could not access the laundry or beach amenities), of the thirty or so cafe lights responsible for illuminating the backyard, three were working, there were missing smoke detectors/CO detectors, the dishwasher was on the fritz, the coffee maker worked sometimes, the backyard was a mess and overgrown, the outdoor furniture was buried in the dirt, and the outdoor table was broken. We contacted the homeowner right away. It took 5.5 days for anyone to ahow up to address any of the issues and when they did they had to jimmy the garage door open and stuff paper towels in the lock to prevent it from locking improperly. They got the dishwasher working, but once they left it stopped again. The homeowner was rude and accused my wife and I of imagining everything. He was compleltely dismissive and rude. On top of the homeowner, VRBO has been an absolute disaster to deal with. We have spoken to over 10 reps with ZERO resolution. They repeatedly push it back to the homeowner and he does not respond. We spent tens of hours on vacation on the phone with VRBO and they have offered a total of $150 in compensation. The experience could not have been worse. Run away!!!

Enjoyable Tropical Getaway
I rented this property for a relaxed bachelorette with 4 friends. The house was a very cute historic build with a lot of character. The decoration was minimal and charming. It was perfectly situated 15 mins from the airport, walkable to some cute bars and restaurants, and only 15-20 to downtown West Palm Beach. The driveway was helpful for our rental car. The backyard was cute, although a mix of grass and dirt. The kitchen was bare bones, there were enough pots and pans, but the knives were dull and it would have been nice to have more serving dishes or a clean grill. The beds were comfortable and freshly made. No strong fragrances in the house. It's an old house in humid Florida, so I do understand that its not entirely pristine in some areas. But I do really have a problem with the visible mold on AC units, so we just kept them off and opened windows at night. My biggest issue was that the communication with the owner was very difficult. All the instructions for the house were automatically sent out day of arrival/leave etc. I was expecting to know how to get into the house, but had to wait til 1 hour before check in to get the passcode for keyless entry. So it was stressful heading there without knowing how to get in and the owner was unresponsive via email, VRBO message, and phone day of arrival. Overall it was a great home base and a very cute house, but a little more hospitality and attention to detail would have gone a long way to improve our experience.

Spring Break with our family
We booked this sweet 2-story cottage for visiting children and their children. The parents and kids loved exploring this older home, with brick details and a cozy floorplan that still allowed for some privacy and breathing room. They loved it! The driveway is quite narrow, but allows for free off-street parking in this residential neighborhood. Only curiosity was the screen door entrance--it's hinged in a way to makes entering and exiting with luggage from the driveway a bit awkward, but that is a small thing. Everything else was just great!
