Jun 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### would not stay again The villa is fine for a large group, looking for a good party house, it is not suited for a family. The decor and furniture is tired and needs some improvements. The pool area is lovely, the street is nice and it seems a safe area. VRBO provided a disappointing service! I feel like they charge you for every single thing they can! We wanted an extra single bed and even this came at a charge (later refunded due to my compliant). No flexibility on check in or out time and you have to pay to leave your cases at their office. To me, it was not personal, it was very corporate and money money money! I would not book with this management company again. All 11 guests felt the same! And the complaints and negotiations with the office impacted our stay. ##### adele s.
