This house definitely has a lot of space, which is exactly what we needed. Although it is quaint and cozy, everyone still had their own space, which was quite remarkable for 4 extended families. The host, Linda, was very attentive and available by phone prior to arrival and met us at the house to go over everything. We enjoyed our Thanksgiving holiday and were especially grateful for the space since Vegas put in place restrictions on dining for a max of 4 people a couple of days before we arrived. There was cookware for us to prepare our meals and Linda even bought extra serving dishes to ensure we had everything we needed. It was too cold for us to use the pool, we tried...lol. However, the hot tub made up for it! We also enjoyed the open concept between the dining area, kitchen and living room. It was nice to be in the separate spaces but able to have sight lines to see what the kids were doing. Great for big groups and our extended family. The amenities that were left for us were a nice touch (chocolates, bottled water, granola, etc.). They even provided a couple of adult beverages. We didn’t partake, but I thought it was a nice gesture.
A few things to be aware of: 1) 3 of the 7 beds are soft, the other 4 are very firm. So if you have a preference, call it when you get there. 2) This is a pet friendly home. While it didn’t have a pet smell or anything, there were some pet hairs around. I noticed it at random times on my clothes or in my kids hair, etc. 3) The pool table is a bit lopsided. My brother managed to play a whole game, but he allowed the cue ball to roll wherever. 4) The decor is very hip; super cool, actually. However, some of the finishes are subpar. It’s not a dealbreaker by any means, but depending on how much you’re paying you may have certain expectations. 5) Lastly, there is a step when leaving the kitchen to go to the main floor bedroom and the upstairs. A couple of people fell because the step was easy to miss. So just be careful.
Overall, we had a really good time and the host was great to work with. I would definitely stay in a Vacation Rental Connect home again.
