I learned a lot about choosing a VRBO on this trip. First lesson: when you get an email saying “Here are your keys,” make sure the host has also provided actual access to the property. We spent far too long trying to get in, and the owner’s phone number listed was incorrect, which added a fun escape-room vibe to the start of our stay.The exterior is lovely, but don’t be fooled by the listing claiming the driveway fits 20 cars. Guests get about 1/3 of it, roughly 3 cars comfortably.The rooftop patio was heavily advertised, but there’s no warning that the door has both a deadbolt and a button lock. We unlocked the deadbolt, stepped outside, and promptly locked ourselves on the roof until one of our children could returned to rescue us. Humbling experience.The house itself is a strange contradiction: updated finishes paired with terrible furnishings. There are no lamps anywhere, only harsh overhead lighting. The beds pillows and sheets were old and low quality. The master had a queen frame with a full mattress. 1 bedside table per room, no lamps, no chargersEvery 30–45 minutes through the night, the lights randomly came back on. If you want the ceiling fans running, prepare for disco dreams. You must turn the switches all off-dark but stuffyAlso, the rooftop furniture was piled under a tarp and the TV pictured was missing entirely.Tallahassee lodging is tough during events, but this property is not close to campus and I’d strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
