Dec 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Clean, older home. Breakers for the front porch lights kept tripping and the internet was barely functional but overall a decent stay. Just don't plan to work remotely. ##### megan h. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Terra N. Nov 28, 2025 Liked: Communication Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy Adjust your expectations. The surrounding views are breathtaking. From the view on the porch to the roads out of the development. Decor was normal, nothing over the top or crazy. The home was built in the 70’s and not much has been done to update or address issues over the years. We ended our stay early due to plumbing issues. I believe the owner was amicable but the vrbo customer service was horrendous! There are smaller 3rd party companies that leverage these big name site for distribution- go directly to them to bypass vrbos customer service. ##### Terra N.
