"This property is very clean, roomy, had great finishes, wonderful appliances, the onsite parking and AC worked very well! This was our first VRBO so we were a little surprised at the limited supply of towels, laundry detergent and dryer sheets but we got our own to supplement and it worked out great. I am not sure if this supply set up is standard for VRBO. For us, the location was outstanding, the mattresses and pillows were very comfy, we’d love to get the brands from the host to buy some for...
