The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The a/c was not working properly during the first night of our visit due to an ancient thermostat. The t-stat was replaced. The bartender sink is too small to wash anything except silverware or a coffee cup. We would suggest adding a hot plate next to the microwave. We would recommend that future guests bring their own disposable plates and utensils. ##### A guest from Conroe, TX ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Great Wolf Lodge Grapevine](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Grapevine.h1906487.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hilton-DFW-Lakes-Executive-Conference-Center.h6039.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-JW-Marriott-San-Antonio-Hill-Country-Resort-Spa.h2841775.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Boston by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-InterContinental-Boston.h1573788.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dallas - Richardson](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dallas-Richardson.h18234.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin At The Woodlands](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Westin-At-The-Woodlands.h13173066.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels.d180002.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Omni Frisco-Dallas Hotel at The Star](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Omni-Frisco-Hotel.h18919478.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Eden Bay - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Ocean-Eden-Bay-Adults-Only.h44266101.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Lewisville Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Lewisville-Dallas.h45970429.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Labrador City](https://www.expedia.ca/Labrador-City-Hotels.d58205.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Westin Dallas Fort Worth Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-The-Westin-Dallas-Fort-Worth-Airport.h1653.Hotel-Information) > > [AT&T Hotel & Conference Center at the University of Texas](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-ATT-Hotel-Conference-Center-At-The-University-Of-Texas.h2169414.Hotel-Information) > > [Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Gaylord-Texan-Resort-Convention-Center.h985065.Hotel-Information) > > [The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Waterway-Marriott-Hotel-Convention-Center.h907442.Hotel-Information) > > [Houston Airport Marriott at George Bush Intercontinental](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Houston-Airport-Marriott-At-George-Bush-Intercontinental.h22967.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency DFW International Airport - Adjacent to Terminal C](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-DFW.h22022.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Riviera Maya - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Riviera-Maya-All-Inclusive.h1370022.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt DFW - Connected to the airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-DFW.h1209294.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Sao Paulo (GRU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/gru/ottawa-to-sao-paulo) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Cape Town (CPT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/cpt/vancouver-to-cape-town) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to La Mole (LTT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ltt/toronto-to-saint-tropez) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to London (YXU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yxu/toronto-to-london) > > [Flights from Cassidy (YCD) to Kelowna (YLW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ycd/ylw/nanaimo-to-kelowna) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Edmonton.d180002.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Cruise > [Norwegian Norwegian Encore Cruises](https://www.expedia.ca/Norwegian-Cruise-Line-Norwegian-Encore.cNC-sEN.Cruise-Ship-Info) ### Packages > [Portugal Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Portugal.d147.Destination-Travel-Guides)
