Overall was a good stay. House was as described, host was responsive. My only pieces of feedback center around the overall cleanliness of the floors, and the AC unit in the house. The floors were bad, like turn your feet black bad and I had my pregnant wife, and two kids with me. One was an infant who was crawling, and my 10 year old. So we did not let the baby on the ground, and we washed our feet before bed (yes even after showering).
The AC unit was old, and the house functioned off programs. You had to preset all of the programs just to get it to a good temp. After setting it, the house never got below 78 which is tough in Indio. The host made sure you didn’t set it below 74 (mentioned multiple times in the instructions plus house rules) but didn’t ensure the AC worked properly. There were plenty of ceiling fans so that was nice.
Amenities were cool! Family liked the pool table, and ping pong. Fridge was ice cold. Filtered water. Plenty of toilet paper.
Overall for the price I got a decent deal, but wouldn’t stay again. The biggest turn off was the property management company pre-booking. I never use VRBO and this experience proved why. I had to not only list the names of all my family members including minors, I had to take a pic of my drivers license, sign a bunch of forms, get threatened with fees for using electricity, and consent to a background check after scanning my face.
