First Lenox and Maureen are excellent hosts and are great people. We were lucky enough to even meet some of their family who had travelled from the UK to stay at the property. And their apartment that they rent out is quite nice. However, we booked their Vrbo looking for a nice, quiet, peaceful vacation, away from the busy west coast highway and the noise that comes with that roadway. That was far from the case. There is a major construction project of 26 condo units being undertaken right adjacent to the property that goes on six days a week, from early morning to well into the evening. For three days in a row, there were cement mixers parked adjacent to the other side of the Vrbo where we were trying to relax and read, parked, with their engines idling and their cement mixers churning away. We were sandwiched between the noise of the construction site and idling trucks. Then, on Sundays when the construction noise does ease up, the local dogs all start barking in unison early in the morning. I appreciate that there is little that Maureen and Lenox can do about the noise, and I feel sorry for them, as it is not their fault. I wish I had done more to learn about the noise level at this Vrbo before booking it, so it is my fault that we stayed here no doubt. This was my first Vrbo experience and the lesson learned for me is to determine what I can expect in terms of piece and quiet. In time, this may be a lovely spot to rent, but for right now, be prepared for the noise.
