We recently stayed at a spacious 6-bedroom, 5-bathroom home in the Solterra Resort community, rented through VRBO. Our family of 15 had a good overall experience, though there were some issues.
Pros:
• The house was large and beautiful, offering ample space for our family to spread out and enjoy our time together.
• The resort's location was convenient for accessing local attractions and amenities.
• Despite some problems, we had a great time and appreciated the communal areas for family activities.
Cons:
• Noticeable stains on the carpet affected the home's overall cleanliness.
• The couches showed significant wear and tear, making them less comfortable and visually appealing.
• We experienced water leaks from the ceiling during showers, which was quite inconvenient.
• The foosball table lacked a ball, which was disappointing.
• The pool had leaves, small bugs, and some green algae, making swimming less enjoyable.
• A hole in the pool screen allowed lizards to enter. While entertaining for the kids, it was unpleasant for the adults.
• The garbage disposal didn’t work, and the maintenance staff, who spoke little English, couldn't fix it.
• The laundry room sign indicated 15 pool towels, but we only found 13. We bought extra towels to avoid the $25 per towel fee.
• The clubhouse was closed more often than open, especially during rainy weather.
Despite these cons, we had a memorable vacation. With a few improvements, this property could be an even better place to stay.
