Location was convenient. The space for a large family was great. The management/caretaker communication was easy. They accommodated a last minute need for us. Otherwise, this house needs a lot of attention. Pictures don’t show the wear and tear. There are some plumbing and electrical repairs needed to be done as well as some cosmetic repairs needed. All was reported and responded to.

Perfect Size for Our Group

We had a group use this property while in town for a conference. It was great to have all of the private bedrooms as well as a common area to debrief their time at the conference. They also used the kitchen to prepare breakfast for several days. While the property was as listed, they were disappointed that it wasn't as clean as they would have expected. They had trouble with the door code when they arrived, but the property manager was able to give them a different code to use.

Beautiful home - needs repairs

Setting & Location was wonderful - we were a little disappointed in maintenance of kitchen equipment- dishwasher never worked even tho they sent repairman who worked on it 2 hrs. Pretty poor quality utensils, pans, etc. Somewhat difficult to reach host.

Good place for a reunion

The house was just as described. The pool and hottub were working great. We did find several things either missing (outdoor cushions), damaged/failed (several lightbulbs, cabinet handles). Overall it was worth the price and a good stay for a large group. Comfortable and clean rooms. A small plumbing issue the manager replied to but wasn’t able to resolve which is understandable as it was a Sunday. I would stay here again as I’m sure the little things will be fixed in time.

First flush your money down the drain

(Back story) My siblings and I meet up once a year and this year we decided to do it for our mother’s 60th birthday. There were 5 adults 7 kids from the age of 4 to 15.. I planned out an itinerary for my family. This kids live up north so where they come from it’s cold. They wanted a pool! And game room!! I booked just that. Making sure my nephews and nieces have a pool day Saturday and we do pictures Sunday and game night. Upon arrival property was not clean and nice as the listing looked. On the outside of garage there were boards with nails sticking out of them. One of the kids stepped on it after trying to get something out the car, the nail went through the shoe and was bleeding. The house was not clean. The bathrooms still had hair on the sink from other people. The pool was filthy when I reached out to HOST and let them know about my concerns the Host answered a few of the questions like the code to the front door and WiFi password but basically ignored the rest of the questions and didn’t do what they told me that they were gonna do like send the pool company over Saturday to clean the pool.

Great family get away.

We really enjoyed the house but for a place that sleeps 12 (which was the number in our party) the kitchen could be stocked with better and bigger pots and pans. The largest frying pan help 3 eggs Or 4 pieces of bacon so it was extremely difficult to cook for our group. The baking sheets were also very small and we couldn’t use them without covering them with foil because the finish was so bad. I would put a little money into some pots, pans and bakeware. There were also no kitchen rags - just one sponge and one kitchen towel. The toilet on the main floor was loose from the wall and the yard could use some tending. There were no instructions for the hot tub or pool but the pool guy was able to help us out on the phone. We had some trouble with the lighting in the hot tub area on our second day and called but they were not going to send anyone out until the beginning of the week - we were leaving on Tuesday…. My son-in-law was able to get the lighting working for us thankfully. The beds were actually very comfy and the kids enjoyed the game room, pool and hot tub. Our focus was more on enjoying our time together and we had a great time but putting a little bit of $$$ into stocking the kitchen would make this hands down one of the best places we could ever stay.

Interesting Property

The home is nice and in a nice neighborhood. There is some upkeep to the property that is needed. I had to fix the toilet seat as it was ready to slide off, there are no kitchen towels or dishrags to use. The coffee pot and machine had mold in it, yuck. the drawers are falling out of the cabinets. I would have someone get the hot tub ready for the guests arrival, rather then the guest having to call and be walked through the set up. The pool could not be used because it was so dirty. I've stayed at places that had maintenance man pop in daily to clean the pool, so the guests could use the pool if they liked. The beds and pillows could be updated for comfort. And every bedroom should have TV;s **Many VRBO homes have a "binder" with all the information and instructions for the guests is extremely helpful. This way ALL of the guests have the same information about the home, such as WiFi password, TV instructions and channel line ups etc. Also nice to have some local information, such as "Favorite eateries" and local "hot spots" or "must see" type of information for the area is always nice for visitors. The binder can have all the contact info needed etc. any and all of the instructions for the check in and check out information. I will say that the communication was quick when I did need assistance though People replied quickly when contacted. We enjoyed our visit to Tx all in all and the home was accommodating for the size of family we had to all be together.

The house was big and beautiful. The pool was amazing. Maintenance could be better as there were paint chippings everywhere including the cub boards., baseboards, stairs. Wall is peeling by the living room window. Lights were missing in the hot tub. Other than that I loved this house. I will stay here again
