Check in process was really stressful -- owner would not provide access code and told us to call the cleaner/concierge Howard the day ofwhen I called, it went straight to voicemail all afternoon for both owner and concierge. I sent a message on VRBO, texted and called and left a voicemail for both owner and concierge. Luckily we did not arrive at 4pm when check in is allowed, as no one got back to me until at least 4:30pm to give us the access code to the property. Communication was extremely poor on that first day. HOWEVER, from there on out, Howard and his wife were extremely responsive and kind -- bringing extra towels and dishwasher detergents when needed, and fixing access to direct TV when it stopped working all of a sudden.
The house is big, and the living room has a super high ceiling, overlooking the golf course. The kitchen is well stocked with spices and cooking utensils, though the knives were very blunt and hard to cut with -- consider providing a knife sharpener if the set is not replaced. Of note, sheets were not placed on the beds when we arrived and we had to do that ourselves for every bed. The internet was advertised as 250+ mps and a family member needed to work from the house one day and speed extremely slow (when did a speed test, was 5mps). The owner has since changed the listing to 25mps instead. The HOA pool was great fun!
It was about 1.5hr to the valley but still pretty easy access to Yosemite National Park. We had fun!
