• Spacious house needs TLC

  3/5

  Our stay at the house was pleasant . The house is spacious but have sone flaws .

  Although listed as a 4 bedroom house, the forth bedroom is an addition that almost feels like it’s outside the house . I we had expected to use it we would not have been comfortable sleeping on the space. The other 3 bedrooms and bathrooms were large and we accommodated just fine without the use of the extra room. Bedrooms and bathrooms were cleaned and ready for use.

  The kitchen drawers were messy and there is a large amount of china, that makes the kitchen feel cluttered. We are travelers who love cooking and specially during the holidays the kitchen is a must. We were able to have a good thanksgiving but did rinse and washed every single utensil prior to use since the clutter made us a bit uncomfortable.

  I was aware of the possibility of finding bugs in the house since I read prior reviews and did encounter several bugs alive in the house that we took care of, just felt like there needs to be better control of the critters by fumigating often and closing some cracks.

  The pool area was dirty, and although weather wasn’t good for pool use , we would not have been able to use it in the state it was.

• Great place!

  5/5

  Had a blast! Kids loved it so did my dad. Everything was just like the property manager said. Check in was easy. There were some dead bugs my son has to sweep up when they got there but it was hot as it was outside, we seemed to see crickets and such pop up at night. So even if they cleaned the day before, it's hard to say there wouldn't be dead bugs to clean up. We saw 3 big horn sheep, a road runner, and a coyote on the golf course behind the house. Fun to watch. The flood light is really sensitive. It would be nice to be able to turn that less sensitive at like 2-4am for peak star gazing times. Big bath tubs, but we didn't use them. The pool was perfect. Overall great.

• Mostly great place.

  4/5

  Pluses: clean, plenty of towels and dishes, pans, appliances, kitchenware, ice maker, A/C worked great, clean pool. Owners easy to reach. Quiet neighborhood, plenty of parking.

  Negatives: no trash bags, no extra toilet paper or paper towels. No washer /drier. 1 out of 3 ceiling fans worked. Trash cans overflowing outside, ice dispenser in fridge door not working, A/C unit in one bedroom very loud and vents rattling, etc. Camera in pool area and motion activated lights very annoying and intrusive. NO umbrellas or shade by pool. Side patio needs cleaning and organized.

  Overall, still a nice big home to share with family and friends. No VRBO is ever perfect !

• Peaceful getaway

  4/5

  Borrego Springs was beautiful. The house is in an extremely quiet and peaceful neighborhood. We enjoyed watching the golfers go by. There are some great restaurants in town, but I would suggest getting groceries before arriving to town. I would have given this a 5 star rating but there were a couple issues. The host was very responsive to these issues. There is no washer or dryer for guests to use and there was also no laundromat in the town.

  4/5

  The house was in an extremely quiet and peaceful location. I don’t think we even heard neighbors the entire time. Is was fun to watch the golfers go by. There was plenty of room for our small group. I would have given this a 5 star rating except that the pool didn’t get cleaned until the day before we departed. Also the fact that no washer or dryer were available for our use. There is NO laundromat in town to use as well. Borrego Springs is a town with beautiful surroundings. There are some great restaurants, but I would recommend getting groceries before arriving.
