Reasonably priced!

Comfortable for the price. Would suggest getting a mattress pad and a mirror that wasn’t so high. TV was only streaming so you could not access local channels. Difficult to navigate channels.

Okay Stay

This specific rental is actually in the back yard of another option. The driveway to access it is 1. very hard to see, I had a hard time finding at night (recommend checking in during daylight hours). and 2. very small and difficult to back in/out of. Overall property was more dingy than pictures showed. Trash was in the yard (possibly blown over from neighbors?) Door mat was gross and just little areas around property couldn've been nicer. No dishwasher, which wasn't promised, but made me feel like none of the dishes were really clean. The location had wifi but it went in and out often and some of my devices never showed it or were able to connect. Close walk to cute downtown, bed was too soft, and couch had rip in it. Thought it was overpriced for what it was.

Great modern efficiency

Modern sleek decor, neutral, very clean. We didn’t really cook but kitchen had basics. Neighborhood was very close to old Bonita Springs- park, eateries, shops, within walking or biking. We were in backyard guesthouse with 2 other units housed in house in front. Our dogs shared the grassy yard. Neighborhood is old and some homes more unkempt. Owner very communicative initially. But our internet connection isn house was non existent and tv never worked. Was told it Would be addressed next business day but never was. The other units did have good connection. Our phones only connected out in the yard. Not happy about this- hence lower rating. I thought the bed was too soft but husband pleased. Plenty of towels. Nice neutral toiletry packets.

Cute space needs attention

Overall it a good space. Nicely decorated etc. This was our 1st vrbo experience. Our condo is being renovated so. we chose to give this a try we needed a place to stay First impression dirty entrance door just needed a quick brush up and the door mat is dirty.Replace it, theae are inexpensive at home depot! Walked in and an oder was apparent. I bought some cleaning stuff and wiped surfaces down and sprayed some lysol. Next day noticed a mop hanging on wall that was really dirty so I put it outside for the remainder of our stay and the oder disappeared. Bed mattress is very used not comfortable and sofa cushions were tilted down to the back so no support there either. All in all it was ok. I would recommend it if they clean it better and get a new mattress and sofa. We were there 7 nites. Question: Why no closet and a small dresser??
