I stayed at Annette's place with my three sons, who are 24, 12, and 9. I was very excited to find a place with a pool for the boys, and it did not disappoint!
Annette was very kind and helpful with getting us oriented, and we were really blown away by how generous she was: there were three bottles of wine and big bottle of mineral water for us, fresh flowers, and an assortment of good snacks from Trader Joe's.
This seriously may be the most thoughtful, nicest VRBO stay I've experienced. The place is small, as you can see from the pictures, but it has a nice washer and dryer, and a nice kitchen and bathroom, and a big TV, and it's in a nice neighborhood that felt very safe.
They provided everything you need plus more surprising touches, like the wireless phone charger by the bed, and the additional charging station for my kids' phones and tablets, and the life jackets and pool toys for the kids.
We made the most out of the place, using the fire pit to make s'mores, and relaxing in the hot tub at the end of the day. It was especially nice to have the pool when my windshield got hit by a rock on the highway and I had to drive to Santa Fe to get it replaced: the boys just stayed behind and spent the morning in the pool, and they had no complaints!
Thanks again for the fantastic experience!
