Overall, this COULD BE a great rental if the owner cared for the house and improved communication. It took me four months to get a response to revise our stay dates but we were finally able to about a month before our stay so it worked out. There were no hand towels in the downstairs bathroom nor hand soap. And no paper towels. But still those were things we could deal with. Our biggest problems were the fact the AC unit for the second and third floors didn’t work, and I mean the thermostat was blank and the system wouldn’t turn on at all. It was 80 degrees outside during our stay and we were so hot. When I messaged the host directly, she acted as if it was new news and asked me to check the breaker - there was nothing wrong with the breaker, it was on. But if it was news to the host, please explain why there was a window unit in one bedroom on the second floor and additional tower fans in the other bedroom on the second floor. But still, we dealt with it and tried to enjoy our stay. My BIGGEST concern was when I brought up the fact there had been a leak in the third floor bathroom ceiling and there was a fairly large area of black mold growing. When I messaged about that, the host ghosted me. No response or follow up for the remainder of our three day stay. If someone actually cared for this home, it would be a five star rental. Great location, great layout and great possibilities.

Avoid this host.We were unable to access the property at check-in because the host failed to provide the door code. We sent messages through VRBO, texted, and called multiple times with no response. The code was finally sent more than an hour after check-in time, leaving our group stranded.When we requested a refund due to the delayed access, the host falsely claimed the check-in information had been sent in advance. After that, they tried to deny the refund by raising concerns about age requirements, despite every member of our party being over 40 and fully meeting the stated requirements.The lack of communication, delayed check-in, and attempts to avoid accountability made this a very disappointing experience. If you value responsive hosts and a smooth check-in process, I would recommend booking elsewhere.

Would not rent here again. Hosts: The hosts were very poor at communicating and replying to messages. I had to reach out to VRBO multiple times to help me with communication with them. Main house: The property was not as expected. Three floors, no bedrooms on main floor. AC only worked on first floor, so the third floor became unbearable by the end of the day… couldn’t sleep up there (had to sleep on couch). Front door jam is loose and probably insecure. Living room TV had no clicker for volume and so buttons on tv to manually control, so was stuck at one volume. Kitchen: Only 1 trash bag in trash cans, no spares. 1 roll of paper towels, very few kitchen utensils/plates, etc. Kitchen cabinets were very loose. Kitchen chair legs very loose and unsafe. Kitchen trashcan has missing foot pedal to open trash can. Bathrooms: Too few bath towels. Only 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom, no spares. Second floor tub floor was SO slippery… had to lay down a towel for some sort of grip. Both bathroom floors had very slick tile that got slippery from humidity of taking a hot shower.Bedrooms: Beds are very low to the ground (difficult for older renters a to get in or out of bed). Blue bedroom on second floor sounds like the ceiling fan was so loose it would come off the ceiling, stand up fan didn’t work, and didn’t have a tv in it.Positives: they allowed a complimentary early check in. They had streaming services access tvs in house.
It was amazing. The house is dope, I highly recommend this house to anyone and I will be staying there again in the future!

The home has ample sleeping space for up to 6 people. Living room is nice and kitchen is a good size. The area has some cute shops within walking distance. Parking on the street was easy and there is a small lot down the street, but we did not need it. Some areas of note: We had issues with the AC and needed to use a portable unit in one of the bedrooms. Host provided instructions on how to address after a couple days. The bedrooms could use new mattresses and full length mirrors. There were not enough bath towels or bath supplies for 4 people when we checked in. Assume the cleaning crew just missed doing a few things.Outside light was not working and it was hard to see the house number. Dirty dishes were in the dishwasher and there were no trash bags. There was mold on the ceiling in one of the bathrooms, a moldy shower curtain in another, and one bedroom had bubbling paint.The host was somewhat responsive, but could be quicker in replies to issues.
