Birthday weekend

We stayed here for my daughter’s 15th birthday wknd. We needed the extra space for her sleepover group to have room for games & movies. Host had everything we needed in the kitchen. Loved the little extra snacks, games, throw blankets & that there were lots of towels to accommodate my group of 7. Thank you!

Loved it‼️

This place was such a positive experience. The house was clean, the master bed was amazingly comfortable. The laundry detergent smelled so good I even asked what it was. The host thought of the little extras you forget to bring. They were easy to reach. I would stay here again and definitely recommend this house.

Nice for family of 6

Liked the location near the zoo and park. Nice neighborhood, no more than 5 miles to all stores and several restaurants. Plenty of towels and beds were very comfortable. We did need to pick up body soap and shampoo. The grass could have been cut prior to our stay but than again there had been rain. Over all it was a nice place to stay and we would stay there again.

Spacious and comfortable beds

The proximity to the airport was a big draw and that was very helpful. Close to everything we needed. The host was responsive when we had questions. Saw a few bugs upstairs (crawling on stairs, curtains, bathroom) but maybe that's just summer in Texas! The host left 2 kitchen trash bags and 3-4 dishwasher pods, and for a group of 7 that was insufficient. We had to buy more bags and couldn't run the dishwasher before we left as we usually do.
