4/10 Poor

1. We received the code to the lockbox just ahead of check in time. It took us 4 tries to open the damaged lockbox, so be patient. Luckily we took a photo of the instructions because the location of the property doesn’t allow good cell phone signal to get through. The wi-fi was very weak that day and we had no WiFi signal at front door. Another day, no WiFi in all of Spectrum area for 1/2 day. 2. The furnishings are dark and tired in a very tight area. The TV is a small 32” that has a mind of its own. (One day it shut itself off 4 times in one hour.) The guide is locked and time is an hour off. The host noted WiFi is intermittent and she was right. Dishes and utensils are well used. 3. Apartment has 3 windows; 2 are below ground level and the front one is blocked by lattice. There is a grassy area for kid’s play, and 2 chairs and small table behind lattice so there is no view. No bbq, either. Beds are good. It could use a small dresser in both bedrooms. 4. All appliances worked in house, but you need to bring basics like salt and pepper, sugar, etc. There wasn’t enough salt to boil pasta water! We are regular VRBO clients and have never run into a kitchen with as few basic staples. 5. The walk to the beach is easy and 4 short blocks away. Same for a few stores and very casual restaurants, especially ice cream stores. One beach blanket and 2 chairs.6. This VRBO could use updating so it feels like you are on a vacation. Note to host: Costco has a 55” tv for 279.
