Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2021 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### A guest from Conroe, TX 31 Oct 2020 #### Nice efficiency and location, yet some recommendations 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 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 > [Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Gaylord-Texan-Resort-Convention-Center.h985065.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Strabane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Strabane-Hotels.d182726.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Waterway-Marriott-Hotel-Convention-Center.h907442.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Paphos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paphos-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d6051505-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [SpringHill Suites by Marriott Dallas McKinney/Allen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-SpringHill-Suites-By-Marriott-Dallas-McKinneyAllen.h23474052.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Fiji](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Fiji-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d57-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Ciudad Condal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Ciudad-Condal.h2520849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Abidjan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abidjan-Hotels.d267.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in East London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-London-Hotels.d6047456.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Ibis Styles East Perth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perth-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-East-Perth.h36476714.Hotel-Information) > > [Anavadia hotel-All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Anavadia-Hotel.h42471860.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cape Verde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Cape-Verde.d32.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Inchture Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perth-Hotels-Inchture-Hotel.h1788850.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Parking in Llandudno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Hotel-With-Free-Parking.0-0-d5621-thotelwithfreeparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Aparthotels Europe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Europe-Apart-Hotels.d6022967-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels near LANXESS Arena](https://www.expedia.co.uk/LANXESS-Arena-Hotels.0-l6107352-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Future Inn Bristol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Future-Inn-Bristol.h2824213.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Davao (DVO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/dvo/manchester-to-davao) ### Cars > [Car hire in Swinton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Swinton.d6150951.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities ### Packages > [Mount Stewart House and Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mount-Stewart-House-And-Gardens-Newtownards.d6086657.Attraction) > > [Egypt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/golf-holidays/52/Egypt) > > [Boulogne-sur-Mer Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boulogne-Sur-Mer.d4755.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General ---
