We rent from VRBO all the time, but this house was not managed by a private owner. Which I didn’t see when booking. The house is Hugh and beautiful but missing many amenities we were use to receiving from a private owner. For the price we paid, we thought we would get nice towels, if these were in my house they would be ready for rags. No tissue anywhere, but they did have empty tissue boxes in bathroom cabinets. The kitchen is huge and could be filled with nice glassware and pots and pans etc. Most people who stay at Paso, out in the vineyards would like wine glasses that match. None of the glasses matched. No mixing bowls, nothing to place food prepared in, so not a good place if you plan to stay in an cook, which we all love to do. No decent spices, lucky to have some salt and pepper. Most places we stay in for this price leave decent coffee, we had to go out and buy most things we needed for the weekend, even ice and wood for the fireplace. The beds and bedding were nice, except all the bedrooms are next to each other, so nice if your a family. Not nice for friends couples, as you could hear between the walls of someone talking, coughing or snoring. No screens on the screen doors, so we had flies in the house all of the time with no fly swatter. The outside, we couldn’t sit out because of the flies, which, I don’t know why they were there, we’ve stayed in plenty of vineyards in the same area, no problems. The sprinkler systems was over watering the yard and too wet to go on or around. House is only being used for rentals and no one really cares about the condition of the house. This is the first time I’ve been disappointed in our stay and we rent all the time. My advice, stay away from houses not used by private owners, as they take pride in your stay and add a lot of nice things to the house, because they have lived in the house and used it, to know what the house needs. We paid more for this house than others, pictures are nice but missing sooooo much needed for the price.
