We always stay here when we visit Brownsville. It's a one level home with doorways wide enough for my wheelchair. The whole rental is very accommodating.

This was a very nice stay! Great size space, 2 bedrooms (secondary room had a trundle bed for the kids!), great bathrooms. Kitchen was equipped with all the tools you would need for home cooking.Host Victoria was EXTREMELY Helpful and very Communicative during the booking process: I made a error in some of the rental selections, but she worked with me & Vrbo to alter and correct my booking. I was very grateful for that.

we always stay at this VRBO when we visit family. We find the accommodations to be near perfect for us from the no stairs entry to the wheelchair friendliness.

Our favorite rental
W always enjoy staying at this rental. Its combination of location, floorplan, cleanliness, and ease of communication with the owner make it a pleasure. Our only complaint is that all the TVs are Roku.

Awesome
The rental we stayed at during our Christmas vacation was worthy of a five star rating. To say it was clean, well-furnished, and comfortable is inadequate to describe this awesome place. The living room was comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped. Conveniently, each of the two bathrooms had a shower bench, and there were a washer and dryer. Best of all, there was a beautiful outdoor space.
We highly recommend this VRBO and will try to rent it next time we're in town.

Beautiful house in central B’ville
Check in was easy. The house was really open and clean. My mom who is disabled got around easily and the walk-in showers were great hit her. They even had small benches she could sit in! The backyard was also really cute. Even though I’m a busy street, there was no noise at night. Felt very safe.
