Keep looking!
Positive things: let us check in early, location was good. The living area has a lot of seating. Negative: water roaches, no hand soap, very little TP, master bedroom and 1 bedroom downstairs doesn’t have working light fixtures, and no lamp in the master we brought a lamp from the living room but the bulb was burned out. We had a wedding so we needed adequate light to get ready. The house looks like it’s been neglected pretty bad. It needs a lot of love! Don’t try to cook, very little in the kitchen. The beds aren’t comfortable, they have egg crates on the mattresses, it’s not a college dorm and we aren’t teenagers. The pipes in the downstairs bathroom rumble so loud it sounds horrible. The linens are old and musty smelling. They weren’t any upstairs at all when we arrived we searched and found them downstairs. There are only 4 wobbly stools in the dining area for a house that advertises it sleeps 10! Owner not very responsive, sent the wrong check in instructions, which is ok. But I called no answer, I texted 2 times no reply, I emailed no response. Called VRBO, finally get a response. We all get busy and have lives but I’d you have someone checking in you should be paying attention. The house could be GREAT! And no I did not try to contact the owner again, I had a wedding to finalize and didn’t have time to deal with it!

Oaklawn fun
Great location near the track. Within walking distance and we did walk one day. Second year our group has stayed at this house. Lot of upgrades to the house since last year. Very nice entertaining area in the back yard that we didnt realize was there prior to check in this year. We had a great time out there.

The house has very suitable furnishings. The house had ample space for our group of 7 people. I understood that the outdoor kitchen was under construction but I was unaware that the house itself was in need of some completed projects. I will email the owners to discuss this further. Thank you

Great Location and Property
The property was great. The location was perfect for the horse races. All the rooms were comfortable and updated. The addition in the back looks like it's going to be a great addition once it's finished. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful updates
Older house with beautiful renovations. Plenty of sleeping areas. Was a little dusty do to ongoing construction. The outdoor kitchen is going to be beautiful when finished. Walking distance to Oaklawn track. Parking is tight. It is across the street from a school and about 7 o’clock they play loud up beat music

Beautiful Property
Our stay was great, we encountered a few problems that should have been fixed prior to being rented. The communication from the property manager was prolonged and she was not apologetic and offered no way of resolving the situation. Customer service is essential when running a business.

Thank you for your review. We always aim to provide our guests with the best experience possible! Always remember that any issues in the place that you stay should be made with the owner upon arrival or immediately as any inconvenience or problem occurs. The only way for an owner to know if there is a problem is to make them aware of it and give the the opportunity to correct it. In this case, owner was not made aware of any issue until after the stay.

Great stay!
This is our second year to stay at this property and we always have a great time. It fits our needs and is so convenient to Oaklawn. The host is so easy to work with and makes sure we have everything we need. Thanks for making sure our stay is the best! Monica

We were in town for Derby day and this cute and cozy home was absolutely perfect. We are excited for the renovations to be complete in the back yard so we can come back to enjoy that too!

Trip to Oaklawn
This house was perfect. It was super clean when we got there. Only a few minute walk from Oaklawn. This was exactly what we were looking for.

Very dissatisfied.
Cleanliness was poor, broken bed, fleas on a bed, strong smell of cigarettes, shower clogged, missing remote controllers, hole in the wall, doors don’t shut completely. Owner of the property would not answer to emails or messages so we couldn’t get in contact. Terrible experience.

As requested and stated in the check in process, if there were any problems upon arrival they should’ve been directed to me at the time of arrival. We have always had top ratings for the cleanliness of our property. We were aware that the bed was broken because it was broken by the tenant that stayed before you and checked out the morning of your arrival. A piece of the corner of a trundle bed was broken; which did not hinder its functionality whatsoever. Not much could be done at that time. Number two, we do not allow smoking on our property and the people that stayed before you disregarded our rule. As for the hole in the wall I’m not even sure where that came from, there is no hole in the wall.

BEWARE
We are not receiving our damage deposit and did NOT damage the property in any way. We are always overly cautious and considerate of any properties that we rent. Although the property was nicely decorated, it was not as clean as expected. Be careful when renting this particular property.

We are so sorry that we did not meet your standards. We leave a customer satisfaction survey for each guest. On that survey each entry was marked as satisfactory; including cleanliness. We pride ourselves on cleanliness and joy that comes from each our guest’s stays. When it comes to the refund of the damage deposit, there was a broken bed that could not be repaired and a broken board in the back of our couch. It’s unfortunate that these things happen but as a guest’s responsibility; homeowners should be aware immediately if anything is wrong upon arrival. We still thank you for choosing us for your stay.
