"Gentle Reminders"
Not a place or management company I will stay with again. I own VRBO properties and this was a bad experience and good lesson. If you enjoy getting "gentle reminders" multiple times per day via email and text about maintenance (asking for our help no less with the pool), check-out time in two days, check-out time tomorrow, check-out time this morning, make sure there is dead silence at 9PM...then this is the place for you. The owners claim that this is their home and this is their neighborhood. (Not sure I buy it, as this house is part of a large rental pool in the Dallas market) Incessant communication was terribly annoying and did not feel welcoming. Felt a little stalking. Just because you start a communication with the words "gentle reminder" doesn't make it "gentle". Kind of like me saying, "They clearly just slapped paint on walls and called it remodeled; bless their hearts". See what I did, there? The house was in a good location. Everything worked. Nothing spectacular or wrong with it. Just a nice house in a safe neighborhood. Feels a little like a hostel due to bedrooms and beds everywhere. Feels like spaces were converted to bedrooms, just to generate more $$$$. Part of a large management company called Golden Nest Property Management. Look them up before renting here. Be prepared to give more personal information to them than is necessary to rent a house for a long weekend. Does not feel like a VRBO experience, in my opinion. Nothing personal about it.

Good for our group of 8
The house was fine with modern decor. The beds on the main floor bedrooms were low to the ground and family room furniture had low backs. I’m sure the low backs were to be able to not obstruct view of tv from the kitchen.. but if you are tall, it was not confortable.

We LOVED this home!
The home is delightful, especially for families with children. The projector TV media room was SO comfortable and so accommodating for our kids and adults alike!!! The garage "play room" is amazing with a ping pong table, pool table, connect four and bouncy balls. The hot tub was greatly enjoyed. We wished the pool was heated, because the kids would have probably rejected gifts to stay in the pool! The walk to the playground close by was easy and safe and the playground was fabulous!!!!! Lots of paper goods, laundry detergent and dryer sheets....is not always the case with a VRBO. The owners were prompt to respond to our questions and were polite and kind. We had a great time making memories in this house! Overall, the experience was a perfect 10!

Lots of space, good kitchen with appliances. Hot tub bathtub did not work and the one outside was hard to get into but the family loved it. Nice to have choice of pool and hot tub. Enjoyed the volleyball pool. Not very handicapped accessible and hard on old people knees. All furniture short and beds were so low you needed help to get out of bed. It was a great place to gather and the teens loved it but as a family we would not use again. Great place for active people and teens.

Dirty and smelled awful
Worst short term rental I’ve stayed in. There were dead and alive bugs throughout the house, dog hair and dust everywhere, kitchen was not clean and a very very strong “air freshener” smell that seemed like it was coming out of the air vents itself. Also, the back door was open when we arrived. The only reason we stayed was because it had a pool and we had no other options. I contacted the property manager upon arrival about these issues, and they promised a cleaner would come out the following day. No cleaners ever showed.
