Not Ready for Prime TimeWe have been renting houses in the Oro Valley area for more than 20 years. This particlar property has potential, great location,great layout and is well apportioned. Unfortunately, it was exceedingly dirty when we moved in. When advised, the owner did have it superficially cleaned. Then we--and our guests--spent the next full morning recleaning it. It was obvious that such things as carpeting, windows and window blinds, ceiling fans, kitchen ovencabinets, baseboards and BBQ grill; as well as exterior landscaping have been ignored for years. We left a list of no fewer than 20 issues that need attention– from a dripping faucet to missing kitchen tools. To his credit, when asked, the owner did repair two of the more urgent issues. But the list is long enough to warrant some serious investment in both the house and landscaping.Finally, visitors should note that while the master bedroom is quite comfortable, the smaller bedrooms are oddly furnished. The choice and arrangement of the furniture in both rooms left almost no floor space. In one room, one literally could not walk between the dresser and the bed.Given it's cost to rent, the condition of this house ranked well below our previous Oro Valley experiences. Frankly, we expected far better from a VRBO property.Accordingly, we will be asking for a FULL refund of (at least) the cleaning fee from VRBO.
