Overall, Jami's house was spacious and fit our family of 7 perfectly. It was a cozy stay and had just what we needed entertainment-wise. Candace, the property manager, was quick to respond, which is always a plus!
This is my first VRBO experience as I typically use Airbnb, and I'm not sure if it's a VRBO thing or the fact that the property was located in a private community (or a combination of both), but there were a LOT of rules that almost made the stay feel uncomfortable. Examples of this include signing a 13-page contract before our stay and a massive book of rules that had mentions of charging us extra fees if so-and-so happened. I totally understand that rules are necessary, especially as we're staying in someone's home (I have stayed in 20+ different Airbnbs myself), but it seemed that extra fees were reiterated too many times, making us feel like we needed to tip-toe around during our stay.
Another bummer was that no cleaning products were provided, such as paper towels, hand soap, dishwasher detergent, dish soap and cleaning supplies. I completely understand not providing linens and bath towels given that we're in a pandemic, but I think that cleaning supplies are even more of a necessity now than ever. It was definitely an extra hassle to have to make trips to the supermarket to get things that we thought we didn't have to bring from home, as it wasn't stated in the welcome documents.
All in all, if you're ok with dealing with all of the above, I'd definitely recommend booking Jami's house. But for me, I feel like paying almost $300/night should not come with the additional stress of having to bring so many things from home.
