Feb 17, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### It served its purpose Walking in it looks clean. But it is not. The floor, countertops, shelves, everything was filthy dirty. We all refused to walk barefoot. We could not enjoy the firepit (which is the main reason I booked this place) because the swings were covered in dirt and mold. The fence is falling down in multiple places so I did not feel comfortable leaving the door alone out back afraid he might get out. The light switch in the bathroom is kinda dangling there from the wall. We were locked out on our last day. We left for breakfast and when we came back to gather our things, the code was changed and we no longer had access (this was an hour before check out time). Luckily we left the backdoor unlocked so we were able to get in. This placed served it's purpose for sleeping only. I would not stay here again unless they clean and fix things. ##### amber m.

Feb 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Friendly for kids and pets This older but thoughtfully renovated home is tiled throughout, making it a good choice for guests with kids and dogs. We appreciated the host's flexibility in letting us bring both of our dogs. The fenced back yard was a bonus. Griselda's communication with us was excellent. The house is located in a non-gentrified neighborhood in the shadow of Busch Gardens. The street has an interesting mixture of large dream homes overlooking the river and rundown homes with appliances in the front yard. But you can't pick your neighbors, and if visiting Busch Gardens is an aim for your trip, you couldn't pick a more convenient spot. It's quiet, too. The beds are very comfortable. The back yard is full of gorgeous oaks with Spanish moss. But there's a small price for their beauty: They drop a lot of leaves and debris. We had to protect our food outside, and we vacuumed a couple times because the dogs tracked in debris on their paws. Four things would bump this listing up to a 5-star property: an additional pan for the kitchen because it has a double oven and only one sheet pan; extras like trash bags and food wraps for the kitchen; a new futon cushion in the living area; and blinds or wider curtains on the windows in the common areas. There are sheers, but you can see straight into the kitchen from the street at night. As a woman for whom safety is a priority, I felt a little uneasy at first. The bedroom windows are sufficiently covered. Overall, this was a nice place to stay. ##### Seller G. Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Raymond L. Feb 16, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Disappointing While the VRBO pictures looked inviting and promising, the reality was different. The house did not live up to our expectations. On the good side: the beds were comfortable, the house location on the dead end street made for a quiet environment. Rowlett Park nearby offers a spacious and clean area for leisurely walks, and included 2 dog parks, tennis and pickle ball courts. On the not so good side: the dishwasher was not working upon arrival. It was eventually repaired. Kitchen utensils were sparse, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, especially drawers were ill fitted and malfunctioning. Bathroom towels were tired (read old and worn), the same could be said for the outdoor furniture. The living room floor is on a slightly lower level than the main dining/kitchen floor, with identical tile floor covering. It takes a while to get used to this step without a vivid visual identifying marker highlighting the height difference. Suggestions: A welcoming guide to the home, including instructions to the thermostat and to the smart tv would be a useful and much needed addition. More comfortable living room furniture would be a welcomed improvement. The front door lock app worked well. However, should you happen to accidentally leave your phone inside and close the front door, you have locked yourself out and are unable to re-enter or call anyone for help. A backup key should be provided and is a must in our opinion. Regrettably we would not rent this place again. Raymond and Jane ##### Raymond L.

The home is situated in a neighborhood that is going through gentrification so there are updated and well kept homes as well as homes in need of repairs and a lawn mower. The inside is gorgeous and updated. The kitchen is open and bright and the bathroom shower was amazing. Everything worked well. It is very close to Busch Gardens and USF. Gris is a fantastic host - very responsive during my entire stay. ##### Danica P. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sofia A.

It is close to a park and six flags. The dead end street is quiet. The owner was responsive. It is near the river which is great to watch wildlife. ##### Bruce G.
