The property was great , it was in a great location. I thought that we were stereotyped once we were seen on the camera of the property. we are in our 50s and 60s we have no time for loud parties. Overall the experience was great.

Good, Two-Family-Friendly (if not the cleanest) Home
The space worked well for our two families with 6 young kids (who loved the toys and books). We basically just used the home as a place to sleep and eat breakfast while we visited local family, and it fit our needs. The living/dining room would have felt a bit cramped if we’d all been trying to eat or sit together, but it was as pictured in the listing so no surprises. Only issue was the cleanliness: a thorough dusting was needed and pots and dishes in the cabinets had food on them still, among other things.

Nice to have 2 levels for older kids to stay downstairs and adults upstairs. There was no WIFI so that was a bit of a bummer. The host tried to resolve it but it was not remedied during our stay.

Family friendly in quiet neighborhood
Self check in was easy with very easy to understand instructions. Host was very responsive to messages. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked and even had some spices and coffee/oatmeal was available. Back deck and yard were a plus. Lots of games to play! House could definitely have been cleaner but it wasn’t that much of an issue.

Needs Serious TLC
There were several things wrong, the doors did not close and latch properly. There was and probably still is a toothbrush in the record player upstairs living room. Didnt want to touch it very gross. The upstairs main bathroom shower was dirty. Has someone else's hair stuck on the side of the tub. The kitchen stove was very old and stained with grease or something. The toaster oven didnt look like its been cleaned for several uses. Kitchen trash was not emptied from previous use. The garage when putting our trash out there before we left on our last day stunk, like it still has trash in it from several users ago. No remote for the upstairs tv to turn on and off. had to do it manually, then had to adjust volume the same way. House was extremely cold when we got there. Had to turn the heat on and leave it on in order to get it warmed up. No laundry baskets to put dirty towels in. Left them in the main floor bathroom tub. Ceiling fans were extremely dusty and dirty. The area was not bad at all. The house manager came and tried to replace the remote batteries and the remote wasnt the correct one for the tv at all. wifi had to be reset after contacting the house manager. no i dont think we will be using this location again if we were to ever come back to Columbia.

It Serves It's Purpose
All in all it served the purpose without any troubles. The water pressure for the showers was low and the toilets are small and the tv's are small. Basement has only one way out which is where half the sleeping quarters are. They do have board games and cards and puzzles, nice deck off the master bedroom and nice size back yard.

Dirty and disappointing
We’ve stayed in several vacation home rentals across the country. It’s hard to believe this house is rated 4.8. Maybe the Columbia market is more forgiving than others; however, I felt compelled to write this review in fairness to other VRBO stays that actually earned a nearly 5-star rating. We rented this house for 6 adults and 3 small children to attend a family reunion. We were very disappointed with our stay as this house was extremely dirty, bug-ridden, had inadequate seating for the advertised guest limit, and in poor working condition. The children slept downstairs but not very well as there were numerous noisy live crickets in the basement. We also found spiders between their bed sheets. There were cobwebs throughout the house - in the closets, in the basement living quarters, in the windows, in the front porch eves, in the garage, everywhere. The air returns were filled with dust, in excess. The floors and baseboards were so filthy that when I dropped my pillow on the floor, I could no longer use it to sleep. I wish we could post our pictures. I read in a review reply from the host that she has a great cleaning crew and checked personally for spiderwebs. I would recommend re-evaluating the cleaning crew, deep-cleaning the house, and hiring an extermination service for regular maintenance. A few of the doors did not shut, which was problematic trying to dress in the bedrooms. One bathroom door even had a sign, “Door does shut! Push in toward hinges. That darn humidity.”. If you must put a note on the door, something is wrong. To set the record straight, that door did not shut. Having lived in Columbia for 25 years, and having built the house across the street, humidity is not an excuse for doors not shutting. It is a reason to fix the doors. We had to use a suitcase to keep the doors from opening on their own. In all fairness, we did not reach out to the host concerning these issues. In all fairness to us, we shouldn’t have had to. We were on vacation and the remedy for this house would require a deep cleaning, fumigation, and some carpentry work on the doors. Not something we could or should have to schedule while on vacation.
