Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
Needs more maintenance - location needs to be amended to be correct as it is NOT in the town.
We had a great holiday despite a few issues. The house is wonderful; beds comfy and most things you need are there - just do not expect everything VRBO says is there to be there!! Neighbours all seem to have dogs that bark rather a lot.
The house is also well out of town (inland) so walking to bars/restaurants/shops is not an option for anyone of anything other than the very fit. Description says a "stone's throw from beach" - not even an olympian could throw a stone a mile!!!
Hot tub not working .. repairer came on our last day. tbh, even if it had been officially working I am not sure that the maintenance of it leaves it clean enough for safe usage!
Outdoor kitchen in an appalling mess and not working.
The garden (potentially absolutely lovely with a little maintenance) was not only overgrown with a lot of spiky plants, but also looked as if the fallen leaves and blossom had not been cleared for weeks - patio and flower beds covered! As we really wanted to use it I cleared most of the leaves and pruned loads of the plants to enable safe use. ... It was then lovely!! :-)
My conclusion is - be honest about the property and do a bit more maintenance and there would be nothing to complain about. It was good value for money, and I felt quite "zen" after gardening for a day or so!! :-)
