Perfect stay in the heart of Carmel

This was our first time using VBRO. Their current slogan is “The entire place to yourself”. With the preferences being selected as entire place, under the assumption that meant the filter would only list entire homes available for rent. When we arrived and realized the garage-turned-cottage behind the house in the backyard, was occupied, we were very disappointed. We would have never booked this property had we realized this was a shared property. After immediately looking up the listing to see if we missed something on our part, it turns out, buried on the last line of the very long property description is a foot “note” about the tenant cottage. This should be in the first line or stated more clearly. To add to our dismay, the french doors in the main dining room don’t have blinds so the back tenants can see right into the dining room and vice versa as we were able to see them clearly. Borderline false advertising considering VBRO’s slogan. Everything else was decent, besides the regular quirky rental stuff (wobbly toilet, some outlets not working, missing door stops, older furniture, dining room chairs with broken spindles) We were mainly just bothered by the lack of privacy. Hopefully the property manager can be more up front about the listing or at least put some window coverings on the french doors so the next occupants don’t feel like their privacy is being violated.

Comfy home. Large kitchen, two tables on which to enjoy one's meals. Location was great, close enough to town but far enough away from the weekend hustle and bustle.

All of our basic needs were met, so it was not a bad stay. We wanted a large space for a family, kitchen to cook in, and good location to walk into town, which we got. However this pricing was a bit of a splurge for us which based on the pictures we thought would make it worth it, however the pictures are far more luxurious than the house IRL. All the furniture felt random and like it was just picked up from a garage sale, the kitchen was not well stocked, and everything just felt very old. The biggest hindrance was only having service and wifi in one part of the house which was the part of the house we hung out in the least. Like I said, had everything we needed at the minimum, but do not think it was worth the price we paid. Especially since this was an expensive treat that we allowed ourselves.

This home had everything, was very clean, host was an excellent communicator and I’d highly suggest this for your stay.

Super opportunity for lodging in Carmel
