Positive: great location with access to the community amenities. The area offers a lot to do within an hour driving distance…golf, farms, waterfalls, hiking.
Negative: No washer/dryer in the house (my fault when booking…I did not notice that it stated “coin laundry available”. Makes an extended stay vacation a bit of a challenge. Outdoor activities produce a lot of wet and dirty clothes. Also, the online listing said there was a grill available…there is a grill, but marked for “owner use only”! This was very disappointing because we are homebodies and like to grill and cook instead of eating out every meal. Cooking means cleaning up, again, lots of towels to wash and spending a morning at the laundromat was okay, but on vacation, not something preferable.
We use Vrbo for most of our vacationing…I am not a big fan when the property is managed by Vacasa. My experience is there is no communication with the actual owner…not even a book to sign. Also, most Vrbo owners leave some type of welcome basket with a few goodies to get you through the first hours before a grocery run! Snacks, fruit, etc. just a nice gesture.
