Due to no fault of this owner, another booking fell through on VRBO and our group was forced to scramble to find alternative lodging in a short period of time. Grateful that it was available and for Valerie's communication with us throughout.
Pros:
Neighborhood location convenient driving distance to coffee shops/basic grocery stores
Private pool and ample pool towels
Oversized washer/dryer with provided detergent
Large dining table for our group to play board games
Second table in kitchen for small meals
Reimbursed for refilling the propane tank (not all owners do this, thanks Valerie!)
Plenty of cupboard space in the kitchen
Space in garage to park a vehicle
Minor Inconveniences:
No plug for the upstairs hall combo bath/tub to be found, primary suite's bath had to be used to give child a bath
Wifi was inconsistent during peak non-business hours (weekends, weekday evenings)
No baking sheets in the kitchen, found work arounds using the supplied baking pans
Floors were not visibly dirty but did leave our feet/socks soiled
Cons:
Dishwasher was not effective, we hand washed many of our items
Coffee maker was small (2cups) for our 5 coffee-drinking members
Twin beds on creaky frames, appeared to be old spring mattress/box frame combos
Primary suite's mattress seemed to be near end of life and reportedly not as comfortable as the twin rollaway
The house was full with ants to the point they were crawling in the beds all over the kids! Notified the owner and she was very rude and not helpful at all!
My mom, sister, wife and two small children stayed at this house for two nights. The house was very well located in a central location. It was large, had a great floorplan, large bedrooms and closets, and had all the amenities we needed. The pool was fantastic and the jucuzzi was a huge surprise. Very easy and fast to heat both. I would recommend this house for anyone looking for a quiet place to stay off the strip.
Overall experience was excellent. First time we've booked a rental property and the experience was great. Valerie was very pleasant and accommodating to us. The house is very spacious, beds were comfortable and the pool and back yard is a nice bonus. Your able to heat the pool or spa yourself as needed, and there's plenty of room in the back yard. Will definitely be coming back, oh and your only 14 minutes from the strip which made this place perfect.
We are a small family owned business, that enjoys catering to everyone's home away from home needs. By providing a comfortable, clean, fun, and enjoyment home!
To heat the Pool is an additional add on fee at *$40 a day a minimum of 3 days. Depending on the weather it could take 1 day to heat the pool. Pool equipment can only be operated by host, guests is not allowed to operate unless instruction too! *Important as soon as the heater is turned on is when you are being charged this fee., even though it will take a day or so to heat, the cost is the price to use the gas/heated.
Also pool cleaning is not available on weekends. Pools are cleaned on Mondays and Fridays.
Important the pool is not suitable for unsupervised children, there is no life guard on duty. By accepting this booking this is a liability waiver of accepting full responsibility.
Fireplace is non working, it's just part of the decor!
