Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Check-in, communication
Overall: Check-in Process was bad and stressful. The house was nice with basic amenities. The check-in process was not great. They emailed me day-of asking for my photo ID and a photo of my credit card for verification. I didn't have the CC I used to originally book with me and they asked for other credit cards I had or bank statements showing I purchased. We were already on our way and it was very stressful going back and forth and I was very uncomfortable sharing that info via email and wasn't sure if they were going to cancel the booking without it.Around noon day of check-in, they also moved check in time from 3 PM to 4 PM with no warning or recourse. We were already on our way and arriving at 3PM with 2 little kids in tow. It was, again, stressful and everything on the VRBO website showed 3PM. Just an email from them (in small print) said 4. When I emailed back saying we were on our way, they just responded saying they could not guarantee the room would be ready.The house was nice with a great location for the beach. The rooms were clean, beds comfy, and they had kitchen supplies to cook.
