Overall, it turned out awesome. We have experienced nightmares with previous VRBOs and Peter was a nice change of pace—we are new to this and learning what to expect and what not to expect (but keep a thumb on so there are less unfortunate screwups like owners not providing access codes to a family of kids and grandparents arriving off a plane in desert heat—this happened with our last rental). Peter was attentive to my messages about issues that came up with the home when we arrived and surveyed the house. A property manager was available to visit (he came outside of our home hours, which bothered me a little) and tend to a few matters left by previous persons in the home. We would like to go back one day since we know the place and treat it like a home should be treated, with a careful owner. I might be a bit more picky than other VRBO renters, but we leave a place better than we found it. Showers were clean and stocked, though we bring our own supplies. Beds were very comfortable and spacious. Basement was not used by us, but previous persons had left it in a state. Too many spiders, I would have gone through everything with a broom and a spray bottle if it weren't for the fact I felt I was handling enough already. Neighbor was sweet and helpful when I inquired about garbage collection—there were instructions in a guest book, but this was not obvious to find as I usually go straight to the kitchen and the walkway leads straight to that sight. It was a very nice, old place.
