Needs updates and Cleaned.

The neighborhoor was pleasant, area was quite and easy to access. Home is older and needs updated. Bathroom was usable but barely. Pedestal sink clogged with just the slightest amount of water. No ducted heat, so the living room/kitchen area was nice but bedrooms and bathroom stayed VERY cold. Kitchen counters were warped cabinets didn't close well, and there were MANY roaches in the kitchen. We had to wash any dishes and utensils before using, coffee maker was disgusting and had not been cleaned....ever. I booked with with One -key cash but for the 2 nights I wish I would have stayed elsewhere. Definitely not worth 125 a night after fees and taxes. The host gave clear instructions but since I was only staying 2 nights for work, I didnt have much other communication. Definitely consider other options for the price. I wish I could at least get my one key cash back, that would make a difference in my review.

Overall good experience.

Great property manager, great communication! Property is clean and accommodating (especially for my mom who uses a wheelchair/walker due to bad knees. Only downside is the neighborhood was a little questionable… my mom heard what sounded like gunshots going off 2/3 nights she stayed. However, nothing else scary or questionable went on. So could have been a fluke! Overall, it’s a good place to stay for the price!

Nice Place

My wife, son, and 2 dogs stayed here over Thanksgiving and enjoyed our stay. Communication with Delores was easy and she was very responsive. The back yard was great, my son and 2 dogs had a blast playing in all the leaves and there was plenty of space for them to run around. The inside of the home is dated and because of that can seem not as clean as it actually is. We would absolutely recommend others stay here and if we're ever back in the area wouldn't hesitate to come back. Thanks Delores!

Perfect overnight stay

In transit, stayed one night overnight. Easy location to find right off I95. Excellent communication with Host; quiet location, easy check in. Close to amenities such as take out foods and corner store. House is also wheelchair/ Walker accessible as it is a bungalow with a ramp up to the front door. Highly recommend this rental.

Perfect for a one night layover

Driving from Canada to Florida, we booked this home for a nights stay on the way down and are returning for one night on the way back. It’s perfect! Great location, easy to find off the I95. You’ve got everything you’ll need. Fantastic yard. Completely fenced, perfect if you got a dog with you. Quiet, close to amenities.

Lovely stay

This charming house was perfect for my weekend visit in Richmond. My son and I, and our 2 small dogs had everything we needed or wanted. The huge fenced-in yard is a plus when traveling with dogs. Walking them in the neighborhood was also an option as it’s a safe, quiet community off of the busy road. The owner met me when I arrived to make sure I got in without trouble and let me know she was just a text away, should I need anything. Being early spring, the weather was cold and the bedrooms got chilly with the doors closed, but there are plenty of blankets as well as space heaters (I didn’t use the heaters) so that’s not a complaint, just for awareness. I would stay here again when I come through Richmond.

Disappointed

When we walked in the house smelled musty as if it hadn’t been cleaned.l for a while. It was hot and there were no directions about turning on the window units. We had to plug one in. The property owner could have cooled it down for us and would have made a better impression. The ceiling fan in the kitchen felt like it would fall down when pulling the cord to turn on the light. The tub in the bathroom was totally stained with a brown stain. No one would have wanted to step in it no matter if it had been bleached clean. I’m not sure how properties are vetted but this was not the quality that I was expecting and had experienced with VRBO before. I will be slow to try again.

Sweet Stay in Richmond

This was such a sweet little stay for my family and I in Richmond. The owner is very quick to respond to questions and very accommodating. No crazy lengthy check out processes like other VRBOs we've had in the past. Easy check in, even easier check out. Spacious kitchen and back yard.

Great short stay

We enjoyed our one-night stay - the house was just what we needed while passing through Richmond. The house is older and is nothing fancy but has all the essentials and was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt secure. We appreciated it was a dog-friendly house. There was a small hiccup when we were locked out of the house accidentally and when we called the owner we realized the phone number in the listing was not a valid number. Everything worked out in the end though and we were able to get back into the house.

About the host

Hosted by Ms Delores

Host profile image
Baby Boomer on the go, loving, living and smiling. Converted property from long term to short term rental and enjoying this new venture. Met some awesome people from many places around the world. Would like to meet you.

Why they chose this property

This property is in a working-class residential area and close to downtown Richmond with all the businesses, actives, restaurants and museums. It is also close to other areas such as Chesterfield, Midlothian and Petersburg. I 95 is only minutes away. People usually come to this property because of the home feel, parking and the peace it provides. Most events are less than minutes away. Swim RVA only 8 minutes away, and Providence Golf Club 13 minutes away.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, full kitchen, fenced back yard for chilling. Quiet neighborhood, no parking problem. Driveway big enough for 3 cars and trailers. Great for people traveling for work, up and down the east coast or just for fun times. Outdoor smoking area.
