Host was extremely nice
Daniel was extremely nice and as there were any issues he was available and did try to help in all circumstances. We weren't really aware that the host was on property but it is under the amenities at the very bottom. There are some repairs that are needed host is on top of things and was appreciative of us letting him know when things happened. He is super nice and willing to try to help make you stay as comfortable as possible

What a great home
We had such a great time at the Jacaranda house. If you need a large space but still want that cozy atmosphere, this is just the place to stay. Jacaranda is close to public transportation, which is crucial as we discovered that driving a car to Boston is inconvenient. I am glad we stayed here instead of a hotel as there were more amenities and it was much more practical. Also, having the owner in his unit was a godsend. He is very friendly and respectful of everyone’s privacy. We ended up having to knock on his door on two occasions, once when we accidentally locked ourselves out. He truly saved the day.

Nice house in a convenient location
My family of 5 stayed here for 5 nights. The house and furnishings are older. Everything was clean and ready for us to move in. The location to Boston and surrounding areas was great. The owner, Daniel, is a very nice man. He lives in an apartment in the basement and does not interfere with your stay.

Overall happy but minor details overlooked
Parking is definately an issue. Small driveway with minimal space. Owner was there I believe living in the basement all week. My understanding is VRBO advertises that owners are not onsite . He was there all week and responded to concerns....but also questioned our use of the AC units. I asked ahead of time about the house having AC and I was informed it did. The problem was it was not central air but rather window AC units. This created a problem for the rooms that did not have AC in them. Only a fan was available and temps were pretty high the week we stayed We were also told that AC units should be turned off during the day. This is a 2story older home with Sun facing the whole house all day. It got hot and humid quick so we just left them on. We were told electrical and water bills add up. I just think that cost are not my issue as it's part of the rental pricebut the owner actually has it listed in his welcome booklet. There were minor details of the house that could of been "fixed" cracked tiles, unfinished ceiling and window screens/covers missing. The outside of the property was quite unkept which was unfortunate. The bathrooms and bedrooms were clean and neat.
Overall it was ok and if a few of these issues were addressed I would stay again.

Cozy colonial stay
During our recent stay at the old colonial house, we had a pleasant experience overall. The house was clean and provided a comfortable atmosphere for our stay. However, it's important to note that being an older property, there were some expected creaks and squeaks throughout the house. And the decor is on the older side as well, but This added to the charm of the place.
Staying at the house felt like being welcomed into a family's home. The warm and inviting ambiance created a cozy environment, making us feel right at ease. Despite a minor hiccup with the check-in instructions, which Daniel initially missed sending, we managed to reach him on the day of arrival. We found that communication via phone calls was the most effective way to get in touch with him.
Once we connected with Daniel, he proved to be very nice and welcoming. His hospitality and friendly demeanor helped us settle in quickly.
Overall, our time at the old colonial house was enjoyable. It provided a clean and comfortable space, albeit with some expected quirks due to its age. If you appreciate a homely atmosphere and don't mind a few charming noises, this place is worth considering. Just be sure to establish clear communication with Daniel, preferably through phone calls, to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience.

Great Property!
We needed a comfortable place close to family for a week’s visit and Dan’s property was that and so much more. A well-maintained and comfortable house in which we instantly felt at home. Dan was a great landlord, attentive to our needs and a genuinely nice guy, making our stay all the more memorable. Thank you!

Second time staying with Dan during home improvements. Has everything we need - multiple desks so my wife and I could work from “home”, full kitchen, and lots of space. Would stay here again without hesitation.
Only complaint was the snow and ice made getting in & out difficult.

A very nice family house in greater Boston
It's a nice house in the city of Milton, close enough to Boston and an easy access to I-95.
The house has three bedrooms upstairs, one of which is a master bedroom and two others for the kids.
Downstairs there is the Livingroom, dining room, kitchen and a small office room if you need to work a little during your stay.
It's a cozy home if you are coming over to the Boston area with family and looking for a place to stay.

Great location.
This house is in the perfect location for all the places we planned to visit. Dan-the owner-is incredibly friendly. Upon our arrival he gave us a tour of the well-stocked house. The driveway is a bit narrow but, not a problem. We enjoyed our stay!
Dan was warm and welcoming and super helpful. He remained so throughout our stay.

This property should be removed from VRBO and not be rented until the owner address serious issues
This property has not been properly cleaned or prepared for guests. We encountered bugs, many appeared throughout the house. Dirty and uncleaned surfaces throughout the house, I could wright my name on many of the window sills, stained bed clothes, TV's that didn't work, an owner who introduced himself while being very intoxicated and almost falling down in the kitchen, who happens to live in the basement, and a very out dated and definitely not representative of the reputation of VRBO.
My wife and I were hoping to entertain at the house and were embarrassed to bring anyone there. Do yourself a huge favor and do not rent this property. You will be looking to leave as soon as you get there.
