3 things set my expectations of a VRBO, 1) is it clean, 2) do they have coffee filters, 3) is it a bad checkout process.
1) it was extremely clean, we couldn't clean it that well ourselves, our house is terribly dirty compared to this place, and we are clean freaks.
2) they had coffee filters, this is possibly the first place I was able to wake up knowing I didn't have to get coffee filters in town before I made coffee, you would get 4 of 5 stars for this even if the place otherwise was terrible. That this happened in Branson is amazing! I have stayed in no less than 20 VRBO places in Branson in the last three years, none had filters. I don't expect coffee, but you must have filters!
3) Extremely easy on checkout, why we never get that message before we are there, I don't know, but the instructions were "start the dishwasher and lock the door", super easy. In November we stayed in a place where it was like solving the riddle of the sphinx trying to solve all the basic check out asks. This was easy, and appreciated.
So, having stayed in VRBO places for almost as long as VRBO has been around, this place is highly rated by me.
I've saved this location, and hope I find it again. This stands out as a great VRBO location. (I have stayed in many places in Branson, and this is probably the best VRBO property yet).
