I'll start with the space itself although the bulk of my review is about the overall booking experience. It is a nice house in a nice area of eagle crest. It was nicely furnished and appointed and very clean and tidy. My only criticism is that if you are planning to do any cooking at the house, there is literally no where to keep any of your items (food, etc.). Every single drawer and cabinet was full of stuff, so we ended up having to keep everything in the grocery bags/boxes that we brought. That was kind of the theme throughout the house - there was so much "staging" and chatchkes that there was hardly anywhere to put any personal items, like a laptop or book. We ended up taking a picture of everything in place, moving it all into a corner or shelf out of the way to make room for our things and then putting it all back before we left. As a vacation rental host myself, i know it can be a difficult line to tread between maintaining the comfort of a space for yourself and making it inviting to guests, but in this case, just a single kitchen cabinet to be able to put our snacks and food away into and few places to be able to set down a few things other than on the floor would have made the stay way more comfortable.
On to the actual booking experience: I get that this is a listing by vacasa on vrbo, but they do really need to supply a much clearer idea of how to communicate with them other than just stating that. After multiple messages and questions went unanswered through vrbo, finally realized that communication with the host would only be through vacasa, which means you have to make a profile with them and basically use the app to communicate with them (which was also kind of spotty) or call their 800 number and wait on hold forever to talk with someone overseas. In the future, i will not ever book a vacasa rental through air b and b, and probably not even through vacasa as their reps seem really clueless about the details of the actual property. Pretty frustrating when there is no one who has actually been the property who can answer questions.
