Amazing Christmas!
This house was perfect for a holiday get together with family. The owners even had a Christmas tree with decorations and lights for us! Lots of parking and space for all of us. Backyard is perfect with a pool, grill and playground. Sufficient linens, comfortable beds, and lots of cooking items! Would definitely recommend and would stay again!

Great family home
I have stayed at this home before and both times have enjoyed it like if it was my own home. It has all the amenities I need. It is very spacious and clean. There is plenty of parking with a large two car garage. The laundry room adjacent to the kitchen is a big plus. The bathroom in the patio is very convenient for a day in The beautiful pool.

Family reunion
We loved the location. Everyone in our family was happy with the accommodations. The kids enjoyed the pool and swing set. They had enough space to play. Our daughter who lives in Harlingen was really surprised to see all of us coming down from NJ and San Antonio to see her. Renting this property made it all possible. Thank you!

Overall a very nice home with only a couple of negatives
The house was very nice. There was plenty of sleeping options and the outdoor area was very nice. My only negatives are that the master bed did not have a box spring. It's probably ok for most people, but I have an arthritic back, so not very good for me. The master shower is a rain shower, which i don't care for. There are also no towel racks. That aside, we had a great time and this was a great way for our family to have a place to hang out.

Everything great but the Internet
This is the 2nd year staying at the property. Property management was very helpful and responsive. Very clean and well maintained. Only criticism would be the internet. The internet was down for several hours and when it came back it was extremely slow. Since the TV’s all run on internet we had to leave the house to watch Football.

Work Trip
We were traveling for our company and found this property fit our needs very well. Only unfortunate part of the location is the proximity to stores or convenience stores. We had to coordinate ubering everywhere. We ended every time but one in the pool. It was very refreshing after a hard day at work.

Awesome location
This property is a wonderful rental. The home is very beautiful and there is enough space. The kids had a blast in the pool. The evenings outside were relaxing. Would definitely recommend. The only small issue are the bunk beds as the top beds might need a bit of adjustment as they felt loose and the kids were a bit scared to sleep on the top bunks because they felt they would fall. Other than that, this is an awesome rental and we enjoyed our stay and weekend.

Would Stay Again
Overall the stay was great. Home was very nice and spacious. The only negative is that the lawn wasn't cut prior to our arrival. The high grass worried my wife as we didn't let the kids play outside nearly as much due to the grass being cut and spiders being all over the play ground. Other than that, it was a 5 star. I'm sure if I would have communicated that to the host, they might have taken care of the lawn issue. However, I took pics of the issue but never reported it to our host.

Long weekend stay
The property was nice and spacious but I don't believe 14 people would fit comfortable though which is their listed max guest count. There are not enough showers for that capacity so getting that many people ready would be a challenge especially in a time crunch. Please BEWARE of the iron provided at the rental house. It ruined the buttoned down shirt that my fiancé was going to wear for our wedding! It stained his white shirt with what appeared to be mold coming out of the iron's steam holes of the soleplate. We had to scramble around to find an alternative shirt at a local store at the last minute which was very stressful and inconvenient as we were already on a short time schedule. Had I known there would be mold in the iron and that it would ruin his shirt, I would have opted for the dry cleaners. I am not from the area so I was not familiar with any trustworthy dry cleaners. But I trusted that a rental company would maintain their property amenities properly. I informed the property rental company of this issue and they did not want to compensate for the shirt or provide any other type of compensation for the major inconvenience. Also, the master bed was not comfy but if you like very firm mattresses then it will work for you. Same for the other beds. The backyard was the best part because of the pool, but it was super cold. Overall, we enjoyed the stay despite the unfortunate situation with the iron and lack of compassion and/or understanding on part of the property rental company (TurnKey Vacation Rentals).
