I’ll start first with the positive - this is a beautiful home. Comfy, clean and well appointed. It’s in a great location with lots of flat space for kids to play. We lost power our last night/morning there and they have a generator which was ideal and unexpected. We had one issue that started off our trip on a stressful note. When I searched for houses back in September 2025, I always select “allows pets”. We have a small chihuahua. This house populated my search, I booked it and upon our arrival was messaged by the house manager that the owners “noticed that we had a dog and animals are not allowed due to an allergy.” First, it’s totally fair that they have a security camera but I will say it feels a little invasive as a guest to feel “watched”. With that, I would never intentionally break a house rule and genuinely had no idea pets were not allowed. In all of the years I’ve rented houses, I’ve never had this experience. I asked the house manager what our options were (ie. pay a pet deposit - usually alone 100 for a stay). My husband also said he could drive the dog home as I was tried to find a family member to watch her. The host came back and said she could stay for 300. While that felt steep we were in a tough position. Thankfully our dog was a good house guest.Last suggestion, the checkout inst. were confusing related to bedding. The binder says “keep sheets on bed” and I didn’t know if that meant to strip them or not. I would just add clarity there.
