We had 21 days in this condo and our stay was mostly great!
As others have mentioned, Bill & Shirley are absolute gems. I wish every VBRO host could take a page out of their book because they set the standard on how hosts should be.
The furnishings aren’t put there by some cold management company trying to make a buck… you can tell that this is a place used and loved by the owners, and staying there feels like you are sharing their home.
Unfortunately, the unit above this condo experiences a constant flow of guests. Most staying between 2-4 nights, and ALL of them being various levels of “stompers” at ALL hours. You can hear every step they take. And I don’t know if the layout is so bad up there that people must move furniture multiple times a day, but there’s consistently something really loud dragging across the floor. Not kidding. Apparently, we weren’t the only ones affected by the loud drunken noise coming from the other adjacent vacation rental because we were inadvertently put in the middle of a screaming match between the units yelling at each other to be quiet. Smh.
We go to bed by 9 and are up by 6 (yes, we are weird) and because we do, we got very little sleep for the majority of our stay :( that was the hardest part..
Every place has its quirks, and most of them are a result of really inconsiderate guests that don’t take care of the places they stay (i.e. dull knives, poorly maintained pans, things in the kitchen not being put away where they go and/or being put away dirty etc…) and there were those kind of quirks here. Not something you’ll really notice for a few days stay, but if you’re planning on staying more than a week, just be aware.
We had enough toilet paper for the whole stay (right?!? That NEVER happens!!) and the property itself is full of fun amenities.
If it weren’t for the consistent lack of sleep, we’d be planning our stays around when this place was available.
