Great place to stay!

The Cozy Cove could not have been a more perfect place for us to stay! We were in Texas visiting family, and was able to enjoy a short walk to our son and daughter-in-law's house. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well-stocked and the games and other amenities were more than we could have hoped for. We enjoyed family barbecues, fishing on the dock, and relaxing on the deck. Joan was fantastic, friendly and accommodating. She was easy to reach and quick to respond. We couldn't have wished for a better vacation!

Great getaway experience!

My daughter, father, and I stayed at this amazing property for a long weekend. We were shocked by how cute the house was as well as comfortable for all ages. They go over and beyond to make the stay enjoyable. The view is gorgeous and house extremely clean. My father does not have the best health so it was a great place for him to sit out in a rocking on the back porch, drink coffee, and look out to a view of beautiful sky and water. Also, neighbors are not so close to the house to where you do not have privacy. We will definitely be back!!!

Relaxing

We loved the time we spent around the big table eating and playing games. The weather did not allow us to spend a lot of time out on the deck, so we would want to do that next time. The second bedroom was a little cluttered and tight, but it worked. Other than that, it was great and great memories made with friends.

Cozy vrbo

A lot of thought was put into placing everything that was needed. There was plenty of everything we needed and then some. We didn't use a lot of things available as we spent most of our days at my brothers house on the lake for a family reunion. Only problem we encountered was getting the lock on the front door to work. Eventually with the help of the owner got it figured out after 15 minutes. Everything else went smoothly

Family Friends

There were 12 of us total and everything was amazing! We had everything we needed to cook meals, inside and out on the grill. We had plenty of games to play inside and outside. The kids took the kayak and paddle board out and fished as well. Having the washer and dryer with laundry detergent provided was great because we were able to return from our vacation with all our laundry clean. All of the beds were very comfortable, which is also a huge plus! The location was great for us as well. We spent a day in Waco at Magnolia Silos, The Dr, Pepper Museum and then a sunset horseback trail ride at Brazos Bluff Ranch, which we HIGHLY recommend! We also spent a day in Ft. Worth at the Stockyards. Cedar Creek Brewery had great craft beer, delicious sweet potato fries and we played trivia! Triple N Winery was also amazing! We highly recommend staying here if your in the area!

Family Getaway

The lake house had everything we needed. Plenty of towels, blankets, games, lots of kitchen items. The host provided everything you need for cooking including condiments, spices, cooking oil, etc. Even had snacks for us and items for pets. The AC worked great and the temperature was very comfortable. The internet worked great. It is located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. We felt very safe walking at night. The water was very low near the house, but that was expected. Easy walk to the neighborhood pier where we caught several fish. It is a short drive to nearby towns for grocery shopping, antiquing, and dining out. The backyard was nice with a fire pit, grill, kayaks and water toys. We didn’t use the fire pit, kayaks or toys, but nice they were available. Plenty of parking for cars, boat, and RV. Only problem we had was the TV had been disconnected and TV remotes were scattered all over the house. We were able to connect the TV and found remotes throughout the house, found remote under a bed, in a drawer in a room without a TV, etc. We did not find remote for the bedroom TV. We only needed to contact the host once and it was regarding the TV and the host responded very quickly. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Beautiful Stay!

First of all, this house has EVERYTHING! I don’t mean just the basics plus a blender. Every time we turned around we found something else we needed or didn’t even know we needed. Fully stocked kitchen with all appliances, spices, even fridge items! The bathroom was fully stocked with anything you might have forgotten. The rooms were wonderful, with comfy beds, plenty of pillows and blankets and tvs! It blows my mind when vrbo houses don’t have tvs in bedrooms. Huge kitchen table where many games of dominos and cards were played. Lovely porches to enjoy the evening and a pretty front and back lawn that was kept up while we were there. There isn’t any swimming right off the house - but a short distance down the road gave us the nicest swimming area that we got mightily sunburned enjoying the days! For our family of five adults, there was plenty of room and we never felt crowded or on top of each other. We enjoyed many home cooked meals (still missing mom cooking for me every morning! Sad when you get back to reality!) Our favorite bonus was the house being dog friendly! We hate leaving our fur babies at home! Not only was Joan ok with us bringing them - she had dog bone treats along with the human treats left for us! Our babies are very well behaved and house trained so we wish more vrbo folks would let us bring them along! Thank you Joan! It was a week of memories for the books!!

Great

The cozy cove was great for our little family get away. The beds were comfortable, better than any other rental I’ve stayed in. It was tidy and clean which is very important to us. Our children are age three and five. My eldest tripped on the stairs a couple times but he lived and learned and didn’t trip anymore. Baby gates are provided if you wanted to block them off. The double queen room is a loft area so I’d recommend a sound machine or the early birds sleeping in the loft area. The house kept cool and the refrigerator is plenty cold. I would recommend going in the late spring or early summer. We went in October and the water levels were pretty low therefore the cove was more of a swamp. The silver lining however were the ducks that were nearby. My boys enjoyed feeding them crackers. We enjoy fishing and since we weren’t able to fish out back we walked down to the neighborhood docks nearby. Not much was biting but the kids enjoyed it and that’s all we cared about. There was a burn ban in place when we went so no outdoor fire pit but there is an indoor option. There was a voice notification sounded in the house anytime the doors were opened which was slightly annoying when kids are sleeping and I wanted to enjoy a cup of coffee on the back porch. On the other hand it was nice to be notified if my kiddos went out. The owners were efficient and informative communicators. I think we would go back if we could go another time of year but work schedule will not allow.
