READ REVIEWS BEFORE BOOKING
Location and neighborhood was awesome, but everything after that was poor.
1. The DAY of travel from out of state, the property manager demanded ID's from everyone staying at the property. However, there is no way to attach a file to the VRBO app. THIS IS LITERALLY 2 HOURS BEFORE WE WERE TO CHECK IN! We tried to call and text them, and they responded by saying that they DO NOT communicate other than through the VRBO app.
2. After explaining multiple times that I could not upload a file to VRBO mobile app, they demanded I email them to a random gmail address. (what happened to only communicating through the vrbo app?) This is extremely unsafe and sketchy, yet we had no choice since we were traveling with an 82 year old person.
3. NO HOT TUB as advertised. Modern, (for the 1970s.)
4. Literally 2 small wine glasses, and no drinking glasses. Had to tell family to bring their own!
5. The next day, the property manager tried contacting me multiple times from another random number. I texted them back and told them I was busy visiting with family. Then a few minutes later they showed up at the house!!!!
Will not be using this house again. Unfortunate, because the location was perfect!

Not what I expected
Looking forward to the Woodward Dreamcruise chose this location for the short distance.
Check in process was overly cumbersome. Owners want copies of ID’s but provide no way to send it. Insist on doing everything via VRBO message board. No way to attach items.
Very little amenities. No drinking glasses. Two small wine glasses. Very little in the way of kitchen appliances to do much of anything. The entire property is very cold and unwelcoming.
No manual provided for additional instructions, local information. Check out instructions were vague and ambiguous. Had to read several times to have them make sense.
There is NO hot tub. At least at the time of my listing it said there was a hot tub.
I would find another option before staying here.

Sufficient
The house was fine for what we needed although the mattress in the downstairs bedroom was not very comfortable and neither was the couch. The textiles, rug in bedroom, comforter in bedroom, and some of the throw pillows were stained dirty, or just seemed nappy. The half glass partition in the shower allowed water to splash everywhere. I found it odd that our check in was strictly 4-6pm seeing as it was just a door code. Our flight was delayed so we didn’t get there until after 10pm but they did accommodate us and were responsive. Lastly, they told us they had the power turned on the day we checked in which made sense because the whole house smelled stale, for lack of a better term, when we got there. It was the middle of July so there was no air moving in there until we arrived.

Modern Zen Farmhouse???
Excellent location and quiet neighborhood for our family to attend a graduation. "Modern" is not the word I would describe this property. Although it was clean and neat, all the furnishings are from the leftovers at Goodwill. But my main issue was with the check-in process. The day before check-in the host messaged me an EXTENSIVE list of "House Rules" that were not shown/provided in advance. Rules like "Empty all trash cans and place them in the garbage cans outside", "Place all linens in the washing machine", "Clean the dishes and sink", etc. So why I am paying a cleaning fee if I'm doing the cleaning? Host also required photo IDs from ALL guests, not just me. Imagine trying to get 5 other people to text/email me IDs less than 24 hours before check-in while traveling from LA, Reno and San Diego. Nowhere in the Vrbo disclosures does it say that ALL guests must provide photo IDs. Then to make it even more difficult/sketchy - there is NO option in the Vrbo iOS or PC app to attach a photo! I had to send them to the host's private email outside of the Vrbo messaging platform. This is ridiculous AND dangerous but we were left with no option, since the demand for IDs from all guests was less than 24 hours before check-in. I'm a landlord too and understand the need to protect and secure your property but not providing notice of "House Rules" in advance and the last minute "all guest photo IDs" requirement with no secure in-app way to submit them is a deal breaker for me.

Extended weekend at the cottage
Nice cottage.
Could use waste basket in the primary bathroom
Also little to no toilet paper. Winter time consider a bigger welcome mat and lastly better seating to watch tv.
