  3/5

  When we booked the property I was a bit concerned due to the rating but it was less expensive than some of the other properties and our group was in agreement they wanted to book this house so we went for it.

  PROS... the house seemed tidy and clean. There were dishes provided as stated and the beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were clean and there was plenty of hot water for a nice shower.

  I spoke to the Contact Host the night before we were to arrive and she went over check-in and our code to get in.

  We arrived a little later than expected so we were not able to really see the back yard area until the next day or to really pay attention to any details since we basically went to bed.

  The backyard had ample space and was nicely fenced and landscaped though the grass was a little thick and the patio got soaked when it rained Friday night due to leaks. We did not use the firepit but it was a nice addition to have.

  CONS...We could not get the televisions in any of the 3 bedrooms to operate. I contacted our Contact Host through the VRBO app as well as by texting directly but we did not receive a text back. Also we did not see the WIFI code clearly displayed anywhere; my husband looked at the router and figured it out but still it would have been nice to have received a response. It was Thanksgiving so I let it go until Friday. I messaged again on Friday and still got no response.

  There were only 2 towels in the master suite and we were there for 4 days. It would have been nice to have an extra set of towels on hand.

  I did not see any instructions on how to check-out so we did the usual and left the beds unmade, put the towels in the floor, ran and unloaded the dishwasher, took out the trash and locked everything when we left.

  I am used to having a book or clear instructions on how to check in , check out etc. so that is a suggestion for next time.

  We have stayed in many VRBO and private rentals. This was not the worst but not the best. Maybe if we come again we will give it another try.

  Overall great experience. Great location. There was not enough paper products, ie toilet tissue and no paper towels for kitchen.

• Great location!!

  5/5

  We absolutely loved our stay! Just a short walk to beach, less than 5 minutes. We brought our dogs and they loved the backyard. Very clean. Comfortable beds. HUGE comfy couch. Large fridge was great. AC was nice and cold! No bugs. All queen beds. Garage is tight, but we fit our car fine. You’ll need to call management to get info for entry. They did not reach out. But it was super easy to do.

  Tips: Bring extra beach towels, beach chairs, and umbrella.

  Feedback for management: remove roach traps in bathroom behind toilet. Fix sliding door handle, the screw to open was fine but we needed something to grip to get back in. Add ceiling fan in living room would be nice. Update pics, the house was nicer than we expected. Also, small grill is different from pictures. Change listing with additional parking to read that it’s contingent upon neighbor approval. I’m awkward and didn’t feel comfortable asking neighbor for permission to park there, as instructed by management. Add an informational sheet (post on back of garage door or place at entrance) with wifi info and departure instructions.

  The house was very comfortable for our stay. It became of a place a refuge during the rainy rescheduled race events. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We look forward to next year.

• Best stay in non-hotel EVER!

  5/5

  Simply a clean, well stocked and pet friendly location for any activities in the Daytona area. We enjoyed a short drive to the pet beach and an even shorter ride to the Main street nightly food and fun. The manager contacted us immediately for a small issue and resolved. You truly can not ask for any better service. I WILL stay here anytime I visit Daytona.
