There were tons of personal articles, cultural elements and smells in the unit. While the owner was very nice, it was very difficult to unpack ourselves and relax in the space. ##### Stephanie S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Marette L. 16 Jul 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Couldn't stay here, not as advertised We left within half an hour of arriving. Several aspects were misrepresented in the description and during my communication with the owner. I specifically asked about if there was another suite and he said yes, but that it was only used as an office occasionally so we would have the place to ourselves. Two days prior to check in I was advised that there would be someone in the suite (and clarified that this meant overnight, not just as an office) for a few nights. it became clear by the time we arrived that the suite was actually lived in by him and his family, and their personal belongings were filling most of the space in the closets and dressers, including what appeared to be dirty laundry. The beds were made, but not very neatly which made us question whether the sheets were clean given the state of the space and all the personal belongings. When I questioned more about his confusing entrance instructions, I thought that we had our own entrance. However, upon arrival, it became clear that whoever accesses the basement suite (which he revealed to be him and his family the day before check-in) they had to go through our entrance and the into their own private entrance, which we did NOT have. Also a shared bathroom!? at the entrance. Not a secure or comfortable place for our family. Not cleaned very well. The owner refused to given us any refund so we are pursuing this with VRBO. I expected to rent a space owned by someone else, but not lived in by someone else. ##### Marette L. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brooke H. 30 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Honest review. Kevin is friendly and accommodating. He allowed earlier check-in, was good about being in contact. There are nice parks in the area, but the description is a bit misleading. It is not “on the drive” it is a 20-30 minute walk. House is not “newly renovated” parts of the house were renovated, but it seems like that was a few years ago. The yard was used for storing tires, had an old Xmas tree still in the stand and cabinets that partially block the front gate. Kevin did come and set up the garden furniture, but still not as pictured. The yard has a gate with the neighbours behind who go through to take out recycling/ garbage. Not a big deal, but I specifically asked if it was private. He should have mentioned the adjoining gate, again not a big deal, but did surprised me and the dog twice when someone came through. The house is very much lived in when not listed on vrbo. This is an adjustment if you are used to vacation rentals that are specifically set up for rentals. Limited space in bathroom/ bedrooms and kitchen to store things. Not a big deal for short stays, but we were there for over two weeks. He did come over later and pick up a bunch of items from fridge/freezer & there was a dresser in main bedroom that was cleared out, some storage in 2nd bedroom. No storage in 3 rd bedroom or bathrooms, only one shelf in kitchen. The house is not sparking clean, more a “lived in clean”. Better cleaners and more transparency in the listing would benefit all! ##### Brooke H. Stayed 16 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Davina M. 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house is in a friendly neighbourhood with lots of things to do bear by (tennis courts, public library, gorceries, coffee shops).

But otherwise, it was a good stay. ##### Lorrie L. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Brenda R. 9 Jun 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Worst stay with a VRBO unit We were booked in for 7 days and checked out the day we arrived. We moved to a hotel for a few nights then found an alternative vrbo to rent. We put in a complaint with vrbo and they have tried to get in touch with the host. The host hasn't responded to them, and hasn't wanted to discuss the option of a partial refund. Reasons for the 1 out of 5 rating: The kitchen with filthy. Food smears on counter. Dish clothes were stained & musty smelling. All three wooden cutting boards had black mould spores on them. Cupboard door pulls, fridge and stove knobs were all covered in dried food. Fridge wasn't clean inside. All of the kitchen glasses were stained and had food stuck to them. Upstairs bathroom garbage can full with used feminine hygiene products in the can. Towels were old and musty smelling. Long hairs all over the toilet and sink. Dining room had ketchup stains on the table and after we moved the placemats, there were layers of bread crumbs underneath. The place was cluttered with personal belongings and photos and unkept. I knew there was a basement suite attached to our unit, but the host had to enter through our unit to get to his. We felt very uncomfortable about this arrangement. This was NOT a private, secured entrance as per vrbo's policy. We addressed these concerns immediately with the host. He said we were too picky and that we would never hear him enter and leave through our unit. He offered to bring in a cleaning lady - after we had checked out. ##### Brenda R. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Morrie S. 2 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Property description misleading Although the home was in a great location and the owner was accommodating, the home did not meet the standards that one expects from a VRBO property. Rather than being a "gorgeous brand new home", it was cluttered with the owner's possessions and in need of a deep cleaning.The carpet was extremely dirty and not "plush". The kitchen can not be described as gourmet. Dishes were chipped, the garbage can dented, pots and pans thrown into a lazy susan. Closets and cabinets were filled with the owner's possessions and sheets and towels were questionably clean. The home was dusty and musty. Sadly we can not recommend this property ##### Morrie S.
