Owners were nice, but this place is borderline as a VRBO. You donāt get āthe whole houseā just a room in a house with a bathroom, a closet, and a makeshift kitchenette and small fridge in the closet. It has its own entryway, but itās basically a glorified bedroom in a home with extremely poor sound insulation.
Shortly after checking in, I heard a ton of noise from inside the house - first footsteps from what sounded like teenagers clomping over my head. Then I heard laughter and conversation from a door and it sounded like the familyās kitchen is literally on the other side of this door. I heard the family speaking at full volume, opening the refrigerator, etc. Worse, at around 3:00 in the morning I could clearly hear a woman speaking to someone.
An intermittently rattling ceiling fan topped my nearly sleepless night.
If this was a truly separate space from the house (garage apartment, separate studio, etc.), I wouldnāt mind. Iāve stayed in several STR units like this. But didnāt want to hear the familyās dinner conversations, the refrigerator door open and close, kids running, laughing, playing, etc.
Basically the place does not feel private because you can hear whatās going on in the rest of the house and they can hear you, too.
I donāt like writing this review but I would never ever stay here again, even for free, and I wish some of the reviewers had mentioned just how little privacy you get with this place. I hope they reconsider using the space as a VRBO.
