This was our second time to rent this house, so we knew what to expect. House is exactly as advertised. Had plenty of room for us and our guests. We love that it is fenced so we can bring our dog. The AC is nice and cold. We love the canal since we bring our boat. We enjoyed watching Aggie baseball downstairs. The host is super quick to respond to any questions we had.

We loved this house! It was very clean and had everything we needed. The enclosed yard was perfect for our pup. The house is nicely decorated. My husband and son and his friend had a great time fishing on the dock. The decks were so nice and the furniture out there was wonderful. We seriously enjoyed every minute of staying in this home.
