overall got the job done

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My most major complaint would be that i had issues with my AC unit 3 different instances. one in particular that i had to move units with kids at midnight because my room was 85 degrees. About a 2 hour process all said and done. Another instance was at 8am because the power went out and the AC unit didn't reset. lastly, upon arrival the AC unit didn't work so we had to move into a room while they sorted the power out. Room was outdated but got the job done. Would probably not stay here again.
Response from VrboOwner on 16 July 2025
Cole, Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize for the repeated AC issues you faced during your stay, especially having to move rooms late at night, that’s definitely not the experience we want for our guests. We appreciate your patience as we worked to resolve the problems. Your feedback about the room’s condition is also noted, and we’re continuously striving to improve our accommodations. We’re sorry to hear you’re hesitant to stay with us again, but we truly hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future to provide a better experience.
