Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had booked another property on Vrbo, but for some reason it was double booked. The host contacted me to let me know it was double booked and said this property was available. I was reluctant at first, but I am so happy we were able to stay here. John and Jennifer made the process of switching our booking simple. The house is wonderful! There was plenty of space and had what we needed. The kitchen was updated and we really enjoyed eating on the front porch in the evening. My kids loved the house and the way it was laid out. Plenty of parking off the street, and its location is perfect for getting to activities. I will definitely try to book again next time we are in San Marcos!
