Summary: My husband and I have used VRBO for our last few vacations. We are careful to read descriptions and reviews. We chose this house as we needed the room and location as we were here to celebrate our son’s wedding. Overall, this house was beautiful with outstanding views. Location was just as described. Enjoyed the surfers each morning while having our morning coffee on the balcony/lanai. With that being said, I do have a couple of suggestions. A vacuum cleaner or some type of sweeper is needed for a quick cleanup. Had my son and groomsmen there to dress. Would have been nice to just do a quick vacuum. Also, a new ironing board is desperately needed. Thank goodness I brought a steamer. Had to steam and press wedding and rehearsal attire. Third floor outdoor furniture needs either new cushions or needs to be totally replaced, Quite dated and Cushion on one chair was totally frayed. Had to turn it over and cover with a towel. We also had an issue with the alarm system. Handyman was there several times to try and fix to no avail. Alternate arrangements had to be made for entry. Hope this is helpful.
