The pipes for this neighborhood were being worked on & we were only notified by the workers by way of note on door as we were arriving for our 3 night stay. We feel the city and the property management company needed to be communicating and have this scheduled so as not to interfere with VRBO business. Our two main days we were told we could not use the water, flush the toilets, use the showers, do laundry, cook with water, or wash hands from 8:00 in the morning until 5 PM. Obviously this was not conducive to our group stay where we were gathered as siblings and older people from out of town needing to stay put and stay gathered, we had to leave the premises. It also seemed that the property management company had not handled the broken sprinklers or the weeding. It looked dead and shabby. The house on the inside was cute and vintage looking. I’ve communicated with the owner and she says they have since fixed the sprinklers. She was very helpful before we arrived making sure our disabled family member could preview the premises to make sure it would work for us. I feel the problems we had were not the fault of the owner. Rather the less then efficient job of the Property Management, which would be over the communicating with the City and the Gardener. I mean if you’re not going to groom the yard & patio, by say putting fresh potted flowers at the door step, just remove the dead potted plants.
The VRBO site didn’t always make it easy to communicate. Thankfully owner did.
