The house was nice and in a good location where we weren’t by too many people and it was close to the beach so we could just go across the street. Will definitely recommend.

The location was in a great neighborhood in a cul-de-sac. Very clean and beautifully decorated. Beds and pillows were comfy. Host was amazing, and extremely helpful! We loved our stay here and had no complaints! Will definitely stay again.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy
Our experience was disappointing from the time we booked until we checked out.I rented this home to celebrate my daughter’s 16th birthday with 9 people, which was under the 10-person limit. Before we even arrived, I was repeatedly questioned about the number of adults, minors, and cars, and reminded twice that parties weren’t allowed. It honestly felt like I was being treated as if I were planning to trash the property when our plans were simply for the girls to hang out while the moms relaxed.Check-in was frustrating. We arrived at 4:00 p.m., but the cleaning crew was still there, and we were given the wrong code for the keys.Once inside, we found two ceiling fans didn’t work, the kitchen was poorly stocked with very little silverware and no can opener, only one paper towel roll was provided for 9 people staying 3 nights, and there weren’t enough bath towels or washcloths. I had to buy additional silverware and a can opener myself. The top bunk bed had a bent support bar that appeared unsafe, especially for the girls sleeping underneath. Maintenance came out twice to fix a fan and the bar on the bunk bed but never received the extra towels we requested.Our last night, a storm caused the power to go out, the ceiling leaked in the living room, and the house shook so badly that several of us felt sick.For the amount we paid, this experience was far below expectations. I cannot recommend this property.

Liked: Communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Very disappointed in this house. Upon arrival it was quite dirty (food on floor under kitchen table, dirt in corners and mop boards, toilet not cleaned). AC is undersized for hot Texas summer temps. Clothes dryer vents to inside of house resulting in hot, moist air mess. Very unfortunate experience as the house floor plan is nice for a family. Will not rent this house again.
