Jun 21, 2023 #### Fathers Day Weekend. Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental for the most part was great. Floors were clean, kitchen and fridge were clean. Only thing that was not clean were the beds, some bed covers had stains and copious amounts of sand. Regardless we did not purchase the linen package for $125 so we brought our own so that didn't pose a problem as much. But again the house was overall I'd say 4/5. Would definitely rent again. ##### Cody W.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved spending a long weekend here. Beach house was beautiful and in a beautiful neighborhood. Master bed and bath were amazing. Only thought since we’ve been staying in beach houses over 12 years now is there were no bath towels to use. Every other house we’ve rented had at least a few to use. We made due but just a thought. A few more pots and pan would also be helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay otherwise! ##### A guest from Decatur, Tx ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Regency Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Dallas.h24753.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Austin Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Renaissance-Austin-Hotel.h8075.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Austin.h21746.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Houston.h20005.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Van Zandt](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hotel-Van-Zandt.h10269315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston/Galleria](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-HoustonGalleria.h10620692.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-Houston.h14986044.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Dallas Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Omni-Dallas-Hotel.h4488581.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Omni-Barton-Creek-Resort-Spa.h687230.Hotel-Information) > > [The Woodlands Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Resort.h25794.Hotel-Information) > > [Signia by Hilton La Cantera Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-Signia-By-Hilton-La-Cantera-Resort-Spa.h284306.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Austin.h8778760.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Americas-Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hilton-Americas-Houston.h976144.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Fairmont-Austin.h18156638.Hotel-Information) > > [The LINE Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-The-LINE-Austin.h23193716.Hotel-Information) > > [C.
