First, the PROS: House was very clean, nicely decorated, had comfortable beds, nice electric fireplace for ambiance and to warm the living room, a great assortment of kitchen ware if you wanted to cook meals, a picturesque view of the cove, and in a good location.
As seasoned travelers and users of VRBO, here are some CONS: I would like to suggest an update to the description on VRBO. It was mentioned that the property required steps and may be difficult for guests with limited mobility. Though there are only 4 steps, it should be clarified that the steps are inside the house and both bathrooms are upstairs but all the bedrooms are downstairs. As senior adults, though not disabled, it would have changed our decision to rent this property because of getting up at night to use bathroom and having to navigate stairs. There was an issue in the bathroom with green tub, the diverter valve is not working properly preventing enough water pressure to come up to the shower. Also there seems to be a problem at times with flushing the toilets. When one is flushed the other gurgles and bubbles up. Don't want to be sitting on it when that happens. If someone is showering and a lot of water is draining out of the home the toilets tend not to want to flush at all for a while. Please note that I did not contact property manager about these issues, we just worked through them. The checkout instructions are not received until after the booking is secured and I think it should be stated up front. It seems to me that if I have to pay a cleaning fee, I should not have to take out the trash, strip the linens off the bed and deliver them to the laundry room, wash, dry, and put away all dishes used. We did see however, that the checkout instructions on the back of the door in the house were slightly different than what was sent to me after the booking. My intent is not for this to sound like a gripe fest, but to let you know how you could improve the description in VRBO and to let the property owner know about a couple of issues. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and the visit to the area.
