• Good lake house

  4/5

  It was a good lake house. I did not like that the A/C could not be turned on lower than 75 degrees in 103 degree weather. It was ok it all you were doing was sitting still, but when moving around or getting ready it was very warm in the house. If you don't plan to spend much time there, then you should be ok. Also notice about A/C unit was not next to the unit but on the fridge. I didn't notice it until after we had been in the property for several hours. We had to take out the trash and wash the towels and do the dishes before leaving the property. It seemed like a lot of rules. Property management was very nice and tried to fix living room TV (not successfully), but we got it working later on. People were nice, location was good, overall we had a good time. We slept and showered and did 2 loads of laundry for ourselves. We even watched a family movie after we got the TV working. It's a good lake house.

• Sleeps 16 in listing is highly suspect.

  3/5

  Everything was good except the inaccurate description in the listing that claims to sleep 16 people. That said. The master has a decent king bed. One other bedroom has a decent queen bed. Then there are the bunk beds. The twins on top are decent enough mattresses and good for younger guests. The queen beds on the bottom (listed as sleeping 8 more people are terrible. They are older futon mattresses. Basically a queen size bag stuffed with chunks of foam. No one can possibly sleep on those. They need to be replaced with real mattresses if they are claiming "sleeps 16" if your group is no more than 8 this house is relatively comfortable. If more than four adults are to stay there be prepared to go out and buy some air mattresses.

• FIRST VRBO HOUSE THAT WAS A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT

  1/5

  ON THE PLUS SIDE, LAKE HAVASU CITY IS AN AMAZING PLACE. WE WERE VERY THANKFUL FOR OUR GREAT FRIENDS WHO LIVED NEAR OUR RENTAL FOR LETTING US SPEND MOST OF OUR TIME & PREPARING OF MEALS AT THERE HOME. UPON ARRIVING AT OUR RENTAL HOME AFTER HAVING BEEN TOLD BY THE CLEANING LADY SHE HAD JUST FINISHED CLEANING FOR 4 HOURS. IT WAS CLEAR THAT HER IDEA OF CLEAN AND MINE ARE NOT THE SAME. LEATHER COUCHES HAD SEVERAL THINGS THAT HAD BEEN SPILT ON OR DOWN THE SIDE OF THEM AND CLEARLY HAD NOT BEEN WIPED DOWN IN A LONG TIME. THE WINDOWS/BLINDS AND DOORS WERE FILTHY. FRONTS OF THE DISHWASHER, STOVE & REFRIGERATOR WERE ALSO DIRTY. THE PATIO TABLE WAS COVERED IN DIRT AND OLD MARKINGS FROM DRINKS. WITH COVID THIS WAS NOT IMPRESSIVE. THE OUTSIDE GRILL WAS ALSO FILTHY AND PROPPED ON A ROCK AS THE WHEEL WAS BROKEN. THE INSIDE OF THE STOVE WAS ALSO FILTHY. DISHWASHER HAD A HANDWRITTEN PAPER BY IT THAT HAD CLEARLY BEEN THERE FOR SOME TIME STATING IT DID NOT WORK & DO NOT OPEN AS IT WILL SMELL LIKE ROTTEN EGGS. GUESS IT'S GOOD THEY LET US KNOW THAT WHEN WE ARRIVED NOT AS WE WERE BOOKING. CHARLIE THE HOUSE CLEANER & LOCATION BOOKING CONTACT SAID A NEW DISHWASHER HAS BEEN IN THE GARAGE FOR MONTHS BUT THE OWNER WOULD NOT LET HER ACCESS IT TO GET INSTALLED. THERE WERE SEVERAL PIECES OF TRASH LAYING AROUND THE BACK YARD AND UP ALONG THE HOUSE. AS WELL AS JUNK IN THE BACK THAT SHOULD BE HAULED TO A DUMP/IRON YARD. FIRE PIT IS THERE BRING FIREWOOD, MATCHES AND LAWN CHAIRS. HOUSE IS BIG ENOUGH FOR 16 BUT ONLY 6 CHAIRS AVAILABLE OUTSIDE. KITCHEN TRASH CAN WAS FILTHY INSIDE AND OUT. AFTER OUR LONG DRIVE TO HAVASU AND OUR FIRST NIGHT OUT, MY ADULT KIDS & SPOUSES WENT TO BED ONLY TO FIND THAT 2 OF THE 4 QUEEN BUNK BEDS WERE BROKEN BEFORE WE ARRIVED. WHEN I CALLED CHARLIE TO LET HER KNOW THAT ONE FOLDED LIKE A TACO AND THE OTHER MAIN FRAME RAIL WAS BROKEN AS THE FIRST SAT DOWN TO GO TO BED SHE SAID I AM SORRY THE OWNER HAS NOT GOT THEM FIXED YET BUT I KNEW THEY WERE BROKEN. BRING TOILET PAPER TOO! AT THIS POINT I AM TOTALLY DISGUSTED AND CHARLIE HAD THE OWNER CONTACT ME. WHEN I TRIED TO LET HER KNOW OUR ISSUES I WAS MET WITH ABSOLUTE UNWILLINGNESS TO LISTEN AND THE EXCUSE THAT SHE HAD JUST BEEN THERE PRIOR TO OUR ARRIVAL AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. SHE SAID AS FOR THE BEDS THEY ARE FUTONS. GREAT FOR HER THE HOUSE SHOULD BE ADVERTISED AS WILL SLEEP 4 ADULTS AND 12 SMALL KIDS. VRBO IS THE WAY TO GO! JUST NOT WITH THIS OWNER.

  Hi Kerri, we want our guests to arrive at a vacation home that is 100% ready for their stay, so we take the cleanliness of our properties seriously! We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We check and clean every bed before a guest is allowed to check-in, so we feel sure the beds were not broken before your stay
  - The dishwasher was broken and, due to being in a global pandemic, we were having a hard time getting someone out to put in a new one
  - We leave plenty of extra toilet paper as we leave extras in each bathroom either under the sinks or in designated toilet paper holders
  - Lastly, the house was thoroughly wiped down and checked twice before check-in
  Thanks for letting us know about your stay and providing feedback on how we can improve. We look forward to hosting many great guest stays!
