Pros: The view at The Sandlake View house is spectacular. No doubt. The internet works well and we appreciated the access to Netflix. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking.
Cons: We never received the check in instructions. And when I checked the VRBO app, where we were told the instructions would be, upon arrival, it informed us that the owner was supposed to send us a lockbox code after payment. We never received that and we ended up spending an hour driving around to get cell service, attempting to contact the owner and then on the phone twice with VRBO before we could get the code.
There were also no check out instructions provided so we weren't sure if we needed to strip beds, start laundry, take out garbage, empty dishwasher, etc.
The house is basic and set up kind of strange where the main hang out space is in the upstairs bedroom. The couches there are fine, but there is no coffee table (we did find a card table in a downstairs closet on our last morning there) and everything felt a bit sparse. The only place to eat is in the kitchen where the table makes things pretty cramped and there is no view. (Only four people can eat at the table which was fine for our group of four, but strange since the place says it sleeps six).
There was no soap in the showers and only an almost empty bottle of liquid soap at the sink. The heat in the downstairs bedroom did not work.
Overall our stay was OK, but nothing to rave about I'm sorry to say.
