I was so excited for this property, but my stay got cut short 3-4 hours in (no time for the hot tub!). The owner has predatory practices & asked for a sizeable security a deposit outside of VRBO, on top of the deposit I'd already submitted through here, which is illegal & against policy. Called police on me & my pre-approved guests at 12:30 at night without any warning to evict me immediately. He stated we had '15' people on the premises which simply was not true. We were respectful of the property & kept noise down. Even the cops apologized, said it wasn't under their control, & wished me a happy birthday. The agent I spoke to also noted that it was unnecessary to escalate the situation so severely and suddenly- & wished me a happy birthday too! A night completely ruined and money wasted. Feels like price gouging, looking for any reason to kick me out to keep the deposit and all other money. Sickening when you realize how much I & my loved ones saved and planned to make this happen and see it snatched away. Incredibly disappointed and saddened. Also concerned about privacy-- nowhere was a policy on cameras displayed, & the agent noted the only way he could've raised a report about us (beyond an incorrect neighbor report, which doesn't seem to be the case) was thru monitoring these- very creeped out that I was being spied on at night. I paid nearly a grand to have zero privacy or respect. If you want to be preyed upon & watched like a hawk, this is your place!

Great and clean little home in the heart of Royal Oak. Perfect location for just about anything you need to enjoy yourself. Food, shopping, grocery stores, and downtown Royal Oak within minutes. Great host. I would definitely come back.

Overall it felt like a very budget property charging premium prices, I don't feel I got my value at the price charged for a one night stay on a Tuesday.
Nice, walkable location in Royal Oak and cozy first floor & back yard. However, under-delivered on expectations when it came to the space - the main area layout is different than pictured, the bedding was much cheaper feeling and lighter weight than pictured. The check-in information had conflicting codes between the property manager and the Vrbo app, leaving me locked out upon first arrival. Check-out information was completely unpopulated in the app, and all signs in the house were hand-written Post-It notes or leaf paper. It all felt designed to maximize profit and felt cheaper than expected, I did not feel I got my money's worth.

It was a good area to stay. Place was on a dead end which was nice. Would definitely go back. Ian was quick to help out.

We stayed for 10 days and the rental simply isn’t set up for more than a couple day stay.
Starting with the good. The hot tub is great and easy to use. The house itself has a good location and a ton of potential but the execution is lacking.

Not great curb appeal but once inside it is a cozy little home. Very warm inside. New window are tight. Streaming TV with an antenna setup. No cable. Internet works well. Hot tub is a very nice feature that I did not get to use. Laundry was nice to have!
It is located on a quiet street. It is not well public lighted outside. Alarm for the house would be nice.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Very close to everything in Royal Oak. Our only complaints were the mattresses were very soft/worn in. Some minor electrical concerns. Multiple bulbs out, one dangling on the chandelier from previous damage, a couple outlets that were missing faceplates etc. We also had two adults and two kids for three nights and only had two towels and wash rags. When I asked if there were more we were pointed to the dryer (did get an immediate response) where we found one extra towel. Overall not very well stocked kitchen in terms of utensils (couldn’t find a wine opener, scissors, or any rags) but plenty to get you by for easy meals.

I really enjoyed my stay I also loved the area of the home. The home had all amenities and was very clean. On a night cap of relaxation with the jacuzzi was everything
