I have no negative comments. The house was clean, they had the house better stocked than any place we have ever rented. I am 75 and could not have made it without the elevator, the golf cart was appreciated also. I guess if I had to give a negative it would be the stickers in the yard. Our puppy got them in his paws and they would track in on our shoes. Not sure what they can do about that.

Overall, we loved it. Check-in was easy, we had everything we needed. Location was great, everything was clean. The golf cart and elevator were a huge plus. The biggest issue we had was how hot the 3rd floor got and the fact that we couldn’t turn the air below 74. I messaged the owner about the broken toilet seat and changing the speed on ceiling fans to cool 3rd floor (no pull chains). I did not get a response on either one.

Nice property
This is a very nice property close to the beach. The addition of the golf cart is so helpful! It has supplies in the kitchen for everything needed. Plenty of tech for those who want to watch or stream shows. Very nice kitchen! The elevator would be useful for anyone with mobility issues. The bottom floor bedroom can only be accessed from the garage or through the elevator. It is more isolated from the rest of the house. This may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on preference. There are signs in the property requiring that the air conditioner be set to no lower than 74 because the air conditioner compressor may freeze up. If this is the case, it is time to invest in new air conditioning system that can keep up with Texas summers and beach humidity. This may not be an issue for some, but others it may be. Would stay here again.

Great location. It's very old and outdated. We stayed for the elevator for our older dog. The ac is terrible here. 3rd floor is so hot. 2nd floor was pretty uncomfortable if up moving. Ac sign says to leave it at 74..... which it feels like 78 in there. We live at 70 at home. We were miserable and won't stay there again. It needs to be remodeled. Bottom door handing by top hinge and very difficult to close. Kitchen items were terrible. Probably one of the worse places we have stayed it. Def not worth the money.

Nice vacation home
Overall, we were pleased with the home. Overlooking the lake set it apart from many other houses in the neighborhood. The home does need some TLC. The outdoor decks and stairs are in need of repair. We had 6 in our group. 4 adults and 2 children. While the main floor has a queen bed and 2 sets of bunk beds, it would be difficult in my opinion for 6 people to share 1 bath.

Beach Gear Credit
The listing states that we would receive a credit for beach gear rentals. After booking property we tried to order our gear. To our surprise the owner decided they were not going to offer that benefit. However, when we were loading up to leave the company was delivering beach gear for the next tenant. The management company did not offer any options except for other companies we could rent from and pay for.

The location is great and the golf cart was terrific because we had my 85 year old mom with us. Our pups loved the place. The beds were comfortable. The upstairs bedroom was fine temp wise if we left the door open. Loved the big couch in the den. Downstairs bedroom is only accessible by going outside or using the elevator through the garage. Elevator helped with my mom.

Problem with the AC
While this is a lovely home that is well appointed the upstairs ac does not cool. There are signs that indicate this is a known issue and to not set the ac above cooler 74 degrees. The upstairs contains the master bedroom and bathroom. I wouldn’t stay here again for that reason alone.

Birthday fun
Had an awesome time at this house. The golf cart was so needed and very convenient going to the beach and back to the house. The house had everything you needed and would stay here again. There were just a couple of hiccups, when we arrived we were not able to get the main door unlocked because it was broken. We called and someone came out and said the lock was broken. He was supposed to come back and put a new one but didn’t so I’m sure that will no longer be a problem! Once we got in the vacay began! The beds were comfortable and the tv’s were great!

Great location for family gathering
We stayed here right after school started to avoid the summer crowd and really enjoyed it. The house is big with plenty of room for everyone, the ground floor bedroom with bathrooms is a big plus. Elevator was a huge help for unloading, loading and laundry. My only wish was a few more towels. We didn’t have any washcloths, wasn’t a huge deal and I’m sure we could’ve gotten some if we asked. Overall, great place.
