Wonderful

Clean, modern, spacious and really close to TXSU. Pool was very nice. All the amenities you’d need, even pool towels. We had a great time. Everyone had a bed and there was lots of room. Checking in was easy and communication went great too. We loved this house and will definitely stay here again if it’s available next time!

Great home

We had a great time at the house. Considering the cold weather kicked in we were still able to enjoy the outdoor amenities. The house was definitely spacious for bigger groups that look at booking this property. I would recommended they put tvs in the room. I personally like to watch tv before bed or early morning without having to use the common area. Other than that the house was fully stocked and well maintained. We would definitely stay here again and recommended this property.

Great house, horrible rental management company policy.

The house was fabulous and the hosts were gracious in their amenities. Only issue was the rental management company, Breezy, required a second deposit and my drivers license. This created an unequal balance of safety and protection. The rental company had all the protections they requested but I had none. Not cool to require images shared of drivers license and yet another deposit.

Beautiful home but with issues during our stay.

We were thrilled to stay in this beautiful home, which was just as stunning as the pictures promised. The house was spacious, offering plenty of room for our large family to relax and enjoy our time together.Unfortunately, our experience was dampened by several issues. On the first night, the heater emitted a terrible smell, triggering the smoke alarm and waking us up after we had gone to sleep. We discovered the odor was coming from the ducts, prompting us to turn off the heat and go without it for the next 24 hours. While the property management company was responsive and sent someone out to repair the heater the following day, spending a day without heat and subsequent odor was challenging.Additionally, we experienced a shortage of hot water due to issues with the water heater. Although a plumber was called, the problem wasn’t resolved during our stay, leaving us frustrated and unable to fully enjoy the home’s amenities.While the house itself was lovely and exceeded our expectations aesthetically, these maintenance issues significantly impacted our experience. We truly hope these problems are addressed for future guests, as this home has so much potential to provide a wonderful stay.

We had a wonderful stay! The home was extremely clean and very well maintained. The decor and furniture were stylish and comfortable, which made it feel both welcoming and relaxing. The location was perfect — convenient to everything yet still very quiet and peaceful. The swimming pool was especially nice. Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

This vrbo was the perfect spot for a group of friends to stay together while in town for a wedding. Everyone got their own room — nobody slept on a pull out couch! — and there were enough bathrooms to go around. We had space to eat breakfast together and hang out between wedding events. The house was clean and well supplied. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

Not worth it!

Not the Spring Break we were expecting, and not worth the money. The pool was dirty, and the property manager needed pictures as proof before he sent someone to clean it! This told me no one bothered to make sure the property was ready for guests!! I had to call everyday to get the pump turned on. I even cleaned the pool myself. Tree trimmers were sent to do an estimate to trim the trees it was so bad. There is no exercise room as advertised!! There are a few weights in a small corner. The trash was also left in the trash cans outside full of flies!!

Graduation Stay

This property was excellent as a hosting house with ample space for family to stay in the area during graduation ceremonies and for friends to visit to celebrate after. The only issue is that the property seemed very finicky with upkeep. As when we arrived the pool was dirty, even with a scheduled cleaning, was dirtier than expected and had to be repaired over our stay. The property also had booked someone to mow the lawn during our stay and we had to refill the propane. And the A/C was in need of a battery change and made temperature settings fluctuate even after setting the desired temperature. And with all this, the property manager was very communicative, but was constantly messaging with something for upkeep right, even up until and after I walked the stage. This made the graduation stay more work than I ever thought. But besides the upkeep, now that it should all be fixed, it is a lovely house with ample room and a great backyard to host in one of the best college towns ever. Just be sure to check everything and get it all resolved on day 1.
