I’ll start with the good. Plenty of towels, clean and nice house, kitchen stocked, furnished nicely, “mud rooms” at the front and side, outdoor space was very nice, safe area. Multiple beach areas were 10 min walk, grocery store and restaurants were very close.
Our BIG issue was the fact that the host had two cameras catching the pool area. This was creepy and made us feel uncomfortable. We have been to 20+ rentals and only a couple of places had cameras at the entrance to prevent unregistered guests. There were cameras covering the side and front door that we had NO problem with for that reason, but there is a big difference between this vs. watching them using the pool. Our family ended up using that area far less due to this. After check-in we sent the host a message and told them everything was great, but we were uncomfortable with the cameras. The host responded to that with hostility and made it very clear with the first couple of responses that we were in fact already being watched. VBRO states that cameras were to be disclosed and the host said they were, however in re-reading the VBRO website and checking our initial emailed agreement there was NO mention of this. We called VBRO and the rep was very understanding and agreed this was weird, but said she didn’t know if she could do anything as they were outside and we had already checked in.
If you are ok with the pool cameras you will have a great time, however, these cameras must be disclosed in the listing.
