Gut: Sauberkeit
We rented a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home on Thomas Barbour Drive in Melbourne, Florida through VRBO for a 4-night February 2026 stay to celebrate my husband’s milestone birthday with our family. The layout suited our needs and the home was spacious, but the listing was misleading: it is not beachfront, has no ocean view, and the advertised king bed was actually a queen. While the owner/property manager was responsive and courteous, several issues noted in prior reviews on another site remained unresolved. The hot tub repeatedly tripped the breaker after a few minutes of use, and linens were insufficient—no hand towels, minimal bath towels, and no kitchen towel.A significant electrical problem left the front bedroom without power the first night and the ceiling fan pull gave a mild shock; the owner restored power but advised not using the fixture. The master toilet was loose and only temporarily stabilized during the visit. Supplies such as toilet paper and trash bags were inadequate, and clearer thermostat instructions would help. Safety upgrades like shower grab bars are recommended.Overall, the home comfortably fit our group. The owner provided excellent response, doing his best to help, but the property needs maintenance, better stocking, and more accurate marketing. With updates and attention to detail, it has strong potential to be an excellent rental.
