My family and I stayed at this VRBO for a 20-year friends reunion with my girlfriends from college. The check-in process was easy as Alex sent very detailed check in instructions via email and text. Upon arrival to the home, the house was presented clean. In my experience, one of the downfalls was the spacing and the layout of the beds. My family and I were there with three other families. There was plenty of space and one master bedroom. If you’re there with other families who split the cost evenly it’s kind of unfair to have that unit by yourself, so be prepared to split the cost unevenly. There are two other rooms upstairs with two twin beds in each room and then a nice size loft with two full beds and a twin bed off to the side. If you’re there with other couples it might make for an awkward sleeping arrangement if you want to sleep with your spouse/significant other in the loft area. Otherwise, you can use one of the other bedrooms that has separate twin beds. The pool in the backyard area was nice however, it was a lot smaller than photo made it seem. One big downfall about this property is a lengthy set of rules that came attached with the rental. Initially, there were lots of rules attached, but as the date approached, Alex sent more rules pertaining to other areas of the house: entertainment, outside, maintenance, etc. My party and I strictly adhered to all of the rules and we also respected the very strict noise restriction as well. What I didn’t particularly appreciate was that I felt threatened to have my rsvp canceled immediately if I violated any part of his minuscule rules. It felt like no mercy, no reasoning, no exceptions!
The use of the outside pool area wasn’t available until 10am on the weekends (per rules posted inside). So at 930am on Saturday when our kids were excited to swim and bouncing off the wall, they had to wait inside until they were able to swim.
There are sound monitors inside and outside and cameras posted in the backyard as well.
Washer and dryer are available but overuse may result in a $150 fee.
“Avoid instant cancelations, no music inside the house after 9 PM.”
“Disconnecting a device will cancel your stay.”
All in all, it was just an ok experience. We aren’t big party-goers and just wanted to laugh out loud, listen to music, reminisce and allow our kids to play like kids do - and we did so, timidly. I guess the owner has to be pretty tight in order to maintain a rental in sin city.
