My 5 year old daughter very much wanted to go to the new Legoland and so we decided to make a whole Spring break vacation out of it. My mom and sis stayed with us and we were very comfortable.
The house: Mom and sis each had their own room, and my daughter and I stayed in the main bedroom that had an en-suite bathroom which made it easy for me to attend to her 5 year old hygiene needs. All rooms had plenty of closet space. The main bedroom also had a sliding door leading out to the deck and then down to the yard. The home itself was very clean and orderly. There were all the basics you needed to be comfortable, as well as all the amenities you could ever need like a brand spanking new washer dryer and a newly minted kitchen with dishwasher. Lots of counter space.
The town of Monroe: The neighborhood was amazing. As a NY City girl, I always feel upstate NY is shrouded in darkness at night. It creeps me out. But, this neighborhood of Monroe was amazing! It was both quiet and it was well lit. I wasn’t worried about getting attacked by a bear, or anything haha! It was about 5 minutes away from a clean and well-lit gas station/mini market/ carvel. Then, you head south another 10 minutes and you get to the heavy-hitters like Aldi, Home Goods, Walmart, TJ Maxx, Home Depot. Another 10 minutes from there and you’re in Legoland. It was so incredibly convenient!! I could not have asked for more. My mom and I even got to chatting with a neighbor and she was so lovely and friendly.
The host: Tony was very accommodating and helpful. I’ve been using VRBO for about 4 years now and he is hands-down the most detail oriented and responsive host ever. He’s very kind. And, I ask millions of questions and he was both patient and incredibly informative. Just great!
A few notes: This home is a brand new construction and we stayed middle of April 2022. At the time of our stay, the home still had more work to be done around the details. There was still room for more furniture (like a standing mirror or a 2nd night stand, etc). I think I even see the beginnings of a fire pit or something being built in the large yard. Tony mentioned he will be putting out a lounge area on the deck (it was still too cold and rainy for us to sit outside at the time of our stay). So, anyone staying after we did is sure to have even more to look forward to.
