Furniture not very comfortable in the living room areas, good kitchen area and storage for food. Overall the house servered all our needs for a great family vacation. ##### Larry S.

We had plenty of space for everyone-indoor & outdoor! There were 10 of us, & we had plenty of parking for everyone. They also provided plenty of the miscellaneous items like soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc…They have everything for cooking; however, I would suggest bringing your own skillets. ##### Renee B.

Beautiful home & perfect layout! It was great having one bedroom by the kitchen for the couple who always wakes up earliest & did most of the cooking. All the teenagers stayed upstairs, & the bedroom with its own bathroom was perfect for me & my 2 kiddos. My toddler loved the arcade game! The backyard was great to hang out with the whole family when we weren’t at the beach, which was only a few minutes away on the golf cart ##### Calvin V.

We love the big wrap-around verandah and spent most evenings outside, despite temperatures over 100 degrees. We had an internet problem when we arrived, but it was quickly fixed.

The fenced in yard was great for the little kids to play in and stay safe:). The only issues we had were that there was no working coffee maker, but Coffee Waves came to the rescue with 96 oz carafes of coffee. Also, we had to call maintenance to come fix the wifi as it was not working. Prompt attention from the management company though. ##### elissa W.

Been working long hours not been Port, A in a long time to our surprise. Wow it’s all changed. The growth is amazing not to mention our house that we stayed at just perfect for the amount of us that wanted to get away on a small trip. We definitely will come back and want to stay in the same house. Also have recommended it to my daughter which she stayed with us loved that they’re coming back and bringing their Hill Country youth ranch from Kerrville to stay there as well. ##### Rita P. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ashley C. Oct 7, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### This home had mice, roaches, and one of the rooms bed frame was collapsed when we got there. Again, no one expects to see a mouse, or that many roaches roaming throughout the property. In addition, one of the rooms had a broken bed frame. My mom had to sleep on the floor. There appears to be a mold like substance (2 feet tall) in the bathroom. Definitely concerning. Not to mention the flooring which is spiking up creating a dangerous surface. This is especially true for kiddos walking barefoot, or anyone really. ##### Ashley C. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Beatiuful Home for Big Families Beautiful home for large families. Lots of space for everyone to hang out. Golf cart that is dropped off on day of arrival is a plus and makes it easy to get to the beach and around town. Here are some minor issues we had. 1. Refrigerator and freezer are a side by side. The freezer door is by the wall and does not open all the way. Hard to get food in and out. There is another frig/freezer upstairs so you are able to put larger items up there. 2. Bedroom description and pictures on VRBO is not exactly accurate. Here are the rooms/beds: Downstairs- Four bedrooms with Queen beds. One sofa bed in living room. Upstairs- One Twin bed in the landing area of the stairs. The bed is in shape of a boat so we called it the boat bed. One Full bed in a small room. Another room with a bunk-bed. The bottom mattress is a Full and the top is a Twin. The top bunk is close to the ceiling fan so you cannot have the fan on when someone is up there. Bring sheets and blankets for sofa bed. I hope you enjoy the house as much as we did! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Karen K. Jul 13, 2024 #### Needs Improvements Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, this property met the basic needs for our group; however, I would not have paid as much for this property knowing there are some serious repairs and easy maintenance that need attention, even for general safety. Flooring is coming apart and has gaps throughout entire house. The arm of the chair in upstairs balcony literally crumbled when leaning on the arm rest. Toilet in the bathroom near the kitchen didn't work properly (you have to wait until it fills after 10-15 min. to flush. A note would help instead of figuring this out on our own). The wifi of the property doesn't match what was sent in the text from mgmt. Finally found something on the refrigerator, & even at that, wifi hardly worked. The placement of the fridge is not ideal as you can hardly get into the freezer. It doesn't fully open and is narrow. The couches need to be replaced as they felt like you were going to fall through them. Finally, there were roaches crawling behind the couch in the main room next to the kitchen two nights in a row. Definitely needs regular pest control. Finally, I would recommend supplying beach towels to guests. Every beach vaca rental we've previously stayed at provides them. Since this was a vacation, I don't want to be bothered calling for repairs or requests. Don't mean to be so negative, but it just seemed like it needs a lot of work that hasn't been suggested by prior guests. On the positive side, this place was in a great, quiet location. Loved the easy access to the beach and shops. It was also very spacious and had ample parking. This place has potential, but needs a lot of love. I would recommend caution in this house given the flooring and chair situation. If major fixes and basic upgrades were in place, I would consider this in the future. ##### Karen K. ### 8/10 Good #### Cynthia P. Apr 3, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Nice space! Although the house has an interesting layout, we really enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor spaces. There was room for all the people and all of our things. Overall it was very spacious for our large group. Unfortunately it was not very clean but that may have been because there were renters in right before us and they were trying to flip multiple properties and we were allowed to check in 1 hour after check in hours were supposed to occur. Several of the shower drains don't drain well and need some attention.l There was also a lot of random things left in the house, looks like someone moved out in the early 90's and left some of their things like random printers, hair rollers, etc. Also the kitchen was not well furnished with pots and pans. They were well used and we spent more time trying to get food unstuck from them than we did cooking in them. With all of that being said, we would consider staying here again but would bring needed pots & pans. ##### Cynthia P.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The 2 large living spaces are great for a large crowd. The fenced in yard is great for kids. However, the kids beds are upstair accessible by a dangerour metal spiral staircase, the other bedroom only have fulls or queens with very rough sheets and a thin blanket. There are no extra blankets. Only 1 or 2 thin towels per bedroom. There is a septic smell entering the house. The fridge in kitchen is next to a wall so you cannot access the freezer. Although a separate freezer upstairs you have to go up the sprial stair case to access the freezer. The cushions on the wicker sofa are paper thin, very uncomfortable. I will not stay here again. ##### A guest from San Antonio, TX ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce M.
