Great stay

We were in FL heading to our stay (after check in time) and had to track down the property manager to get code to enter property. This was an hour-long process & no follow up while there at the property. Usually we get a check in during our stay. The master bed (the head of the bed) tipped downward - we tired to repair with no luck.Otherwise, the property was beautiful, clean, spacious…..we left dry goods in the pantry……salt & pepper. The neighborhood was fabulous.We had an alligator in our back yard a few times - fantastic!!

The house was wonderful. Owner contacted us to make sure we were happy. Decorated very cute, plenty of dishes, etc. Neighborhood was quiet and friendly.

We really enjoyed our stay here. I do want to mention a few small things that we ran into…As soon as we opened the front door, we could hear a smoke alarm beeping. Called Lorna. On Monday she came to change the batteries out but that didn’t solve the problem. Lorna said she was going to have them replaced and that Bill would come tomorrow to do that. Problem solved!! The house is supposed to sleep 6. Our reservation was for 4. Unfortunately there were only 4 plates, bowls etc. The cookware was questionable. I spoke with Lorna about this while she was there and she told me that she would see what she could do. On Tuesday when Bill came to change out the alarms, there were 2 big totes brought in full of dishes etc! I told Lorna that I would take care of putting everything away. There was even a nice crockpot and tea kettle. Perfect. Sadly, there were only 4 bath towels. Not sure how that would work with 6 people. More towels are needed. There is a gift bag with a small dish soap, dish cloth, small bottle of detergent. NO hand soap anywhere. Every other VRBO I have stayed in (30 had hand soap. (We are also previous owners of 2 rentals.) All the furniture on the patio should be replaced. The dining set is completely rusted with rust chips on the deck. All small issues to fix! We would have booked again for next year, but the price went up 150 per night. I guess this is a new rental property so there are growing pains. Perfect location/quiet. Lorna was great to work with!
