Filthy... cleaning crew should be fired immediately.
Visible yellowish stains on literally every bed. Pullout sofa bed had clearly NOT been cleaned, as it was full of dirt and loose change. Dried mud on floors throughout unit. Requested refund because unit was not clean and ready for my party--host agreed to refund but only if I signed some kind of release form. Still haven't received the form or a refund. 1000% do NOT recommend. Avoid at all costs!

Overall Just OK
House was just ok. Kitchen didn’t have many of the things needed, and dead bugs in many rooms. Laundry was still in dryer from my guess, previous people and not dry so it smelt moldy. The house is on a very busy road, and neighbors were very loud (3am party). The room with 2 beds does not have a door for privacy. Beds were fine, nothing special. Plenty of pillows and extra blankets. Bathrooms were clean and did have good water pressure.

Issue at check in but it was resolved
The cleaning was missed from the last renters, but the company fixed the issue and sent the cleaning crew out. The room with the two double beds is in a room with no door and has a window to the primary bedroom, so not much privacy. The house was clean though and it's all one level so good for anyone handicap, two steps to enter home.

Do not stay here!
My family drove in from Kansas 15hrs to celebrate my dad’s 90th birthday. Upon arrival late in the evening, the home looked like it was abandoned. The grass in the yard was up to my knees, shrubs were overgrown front and back. Trash can was at the curb full. Entering the house it smelled of mold which I found in a bedroom ceiling-definitely a water issue. The kitchen stove had debris in it. The bathroom and shades were grimy. The furniture was old and nothing felt clean. It seemed as if they purchased a fixer upper, threw Goodwill furniture in it and listed it. I reached out immediately that night and sent a message. I was asked to send pics which I did. There seemed to be no urgency or concern that this location was totally misleading. Do not ruin your vacation by renting with this company. Don’t know if their other locations are this bad but I wouldn’t chance it. Wish I could upload the pics. Vrbo has to do better at vetting their listings.
