The exterior and pool area are sadly dated. The living room is nice, high quality couches and chair. Floors, bathrooms and bedrooms were clean. The patio, grill and area around the pool needed to be cleaned, they came back and cleaned. The pool was dirty, never cleaned, sand rocks and bottle caps littering the bottom.
The kitchen…no hot water to the sink, garbage disposal broken so when you run the dishwasher the sink backs up with everything the prior guests shoved down it. The oven had the previous guests rotting food left in it for me to dispose of and clean. The host communicated with me unfortunately there was too much wrong to make it right. The most disappointing VRBO stay in the many that I’ve had.

Property was what was shown in pictures! Easy check in and nice neighborhood
4.2
The property has not been maintained/managed very well. For example, the floor panels were coming off the floor, and the rooms all had scratches on them. It looked as if the property had not been maintained/managed recently. Additionally, there was a minimal amount of glasses and things for staying at the house. This is a great house for a short-term stay. If you are looking to stay more than 2 nights it is not the greatest.
Over our stay at first, we were able to get ahold of the property owners. That said, towards the end of the trip we could not get ahold of anyone. The power on the street went out and we were not able to get in contact with anyone, the alarm in the house went off and we were unable to get ahold of anyone. The property managers went completely silent on us. The house has the bare minimum. The couches in the living room are comfy, the beds are not comfortable, and look like they have not been cleaned there were stains on them.
4.2
Was clean, had what you need, wasn’t far from the city highlights. Quite satisfied
4.2
The kitchen was great and there is plenty of room for family members to spread out.
4.2
Everything is good perfect place to spend with family
4.2
We had a fun family gathering here
Plenty of room, close to fun things to do
Pool was great too
4.2
First impression, the "2 car parking"in the back was covered with trash bags, so you could only fit one car and smelled terribly. We contacted property manager and they came the next evening, but by then we were having my daughter birthday party and there was limited parking in front. The house was dirty too. Floor left our feet black and bedding was not washed. Bathrooms seemed cleaned, but everything vents were dusty. You can tell this home has not been deep cleaned in a while.
4.2
Very nice house that is perfect for relaxing and cooling off from the heat.
4.2
The house was a 4 bedroom with 6 beds so all 10 of us had plenty of room, loved the pool
The house was a set a bit warm the trash needed picked up
4.2
Some issues with property. Not so much the owners fault but the management of the property. Leftover trash from last visitors stayed with us whole visit, pool was dirty, AC was at permanent fix to 78 (was hot), numerous items around house were broken by last occupants. The owners and cleaning lady was aware of, but we tried contacting management about numerous situations and she delayed on answering but yet still never fixed the situation. I think this was not handled very professionally considering how much we paid for the weekend. I rent out numerous vrbos and this was the worst experience ever.
4.2
Good communication and property was perfect for a large gathering to celebrate the holidays. Got a comment that I need to favorite this location for a future family event. :-)
4.2
House was good. Clean and the pool was nice and wnjoyable. Could have been better with a few amenities. House was warm, no garbage bags provided. Garbage overflowing outside.
4.2
Pool was amazing and the location was great
4.2
Upon arrival, the house was set at 80 degrees and it was very difficult to get it cooled off. The refrigerator was also very warm. There were also ants in the beds and the trashes were overflowing. I attempted to contact someone through the VRBO app as well as the property manager via a phone number posted in the house. I got no response from anyone. Very frustrating!
4.2
My family really enjoyed ourselves great property
4.2
Pros:
Spacious, pool was a great addition for the kids, comfortable beds, clean linen, received text for early check in option, arcade games were a source of fun for everyone, pretty decent location in that it was about 30 mins from downtown Dallas, good internet service, smart TVs, all appliances worked well, detergent for dishwasher and washing machine.
Cons:
Master bedroom has a bit of trouble cooling, ant problem (if any crumbs were left out there would be a ton of ants there the next morning), no pool towels and provided with 1 less bath towel than needed for the amount of people we had, ran out of TP and paper towels, towel rack broken and shower leaks water onto floor in shared bathroom, no cleaning towels/rags available for kitchen counter cleanup, and communication with the house manager was just okay (she let us know we could check in a couple hours early if we were ready which was nice but then we reached out to her the first morning we were there about needing a broom, an extra towel, and TP; she was very polite in her return text and said she’d drop these things off that evening. 2 days later we received the items on the front porch but it was our checkout morning so not helpful).

We booked this spacious home for the weekend to celebrate my sons 16th birthday. This home features several updates and an open concept layout perfect for entertaining. We were all very happy that the pool was at a nice temperature for swimming because we booked for mid-May. My favorite part of the home was the kitchen as it is very spacious and everything was provided to be able to cook breakfast both mornings for my family. This home is perfect for a weekend getaway with a large family or 2 families as there are 4 bedrooms and 6 beds. I also think this would be a great stay in the winter because the living room couches were large and surrounded a fireplace. It felt cozy and perfect for family night around the fire watching a movie on the big flat screen TV. The arcade games were a nice addition in the living room also keeping the kids entertained when they weren’t swimming. This home is in close proximity to lots of entertainment, restaurants and stores. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for sharing your home.

Clean home and great neighborhood.

The home is beautiful and very spacious. Our first walk through we found that the ceiling fan was hanging by its wires. This was disturbing due to it was children's room. We took pictures and owner came out, till the next day. I wasn't pleased about that, but it got fixed. I wasn't happy that I found old rotten pizza in the oven. The washer locked in our clothes. There was no workers available due to being the weekend. The owner also locked up the linen closet, so no access for towels or toiletries not good at all. My wife and I made it comfortable for our family. Communication with the management crew was smooth. They did advise they will ship out our clothes.

The property was not clean when we arrived. The two trash receptacles were overflowing with bags of trash. The floors had not been cleaned. The lights over the island were not clean. When we went to use the dishwasher, it would not work. The handyman came and had to return to soak up the water in the bottom of the dishwasher, but still could not fix it. We were told someone else would come, no one ever arrived, nor did we hear from anyone. I had to call the agent on Tuesday and tell her the dishwasher had not been repaired. Some of the furniture in the kitchen was broken. We were lucky my husband did not fall on the floor and injure himself after sitting in not one, but two broken chairs. The hall bathroom was not clean, the bath rug and floor were filthy. We saw roaches in the house. The gate and back door stick badly, and are hard to open. There were only 4 forks in the kitchen. The coffee maker carafe was missing. We were told the agent would bring one - she never did. The house obviously has not had a good cleaning - walls and light switches had obvious dirt on them. They say the property had tenants for six weeks before we came - probably workers who could have cared less about the condition. The advertisement says queen beds - they are full size - not queen.. They did send someone out to clean the floors - she just used a wet rag on a swiffer - and did not clean the rag at all - just spread the dirt around. My family was not impressed, or pleased.

We were in a bit of a bind, looking fairly last minute for a property that would accept 3 dogs. This property has a 2 dog limit, which I completely understand. However, I inquired about bringing a 3rd dog at the time of booking, which I did for multiple other properties before this one. Every other property responded within 24 hours to let me know that they could not accept a 3rd dog. Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but at least I could move on and make other arrangements. These guys confirmed my booking same day, sent me the usual "looking forward to your stay" email a few days later, and sent me another one of those emails another few days after that. Then, 10 days after my booking and inquiry (less than 48 hours until check-in) they tell me that they can't accept my 3rd dog. My conversation with the host/property manager was not very professional. I'm not going to detail the conversation, but not once did they acknowledge or take any responsibility for taking so long to respond to my inquiry. While I could have done some things differently or better on my end, they definitely could/should have done some things differently to avoid this situation.

Work for what we needed
The house was the right size and had a good layout for our family. The house could have been cleaner and several of the wine glasses were broken and there was broken glass in the dishwasher with standing water when we arrived.

The only reason for the 2 stars is the pool and and it wasn't evening that great. The pool itself had broken tiles. The fence was shabby and places were broken. The house was okay but for the price it was not worth the rental. One room had ants and they came out to spray. Not a matching washer and dryer set and dryer took 3-4 times to actually get dry. Overall just was just disappointing. Will not stay again and would not recommend to others.

Arrived to the house to find garbage strewn all over the driveway, not a great first impression. Proceeded to see what the house had to offer, and the experience did not get any better. Broken freezer handle, holes in almost every wall behind every door, closets falling off track in almost every room, pool was filthy and never was cleaned properly, back gate was falling apart, improperly installed flooring throughout the house causing multiple trip hazards, missing bathroom fixtures in both bathrooms.
On the plus side Jenn the property manager was very receptive and attempted to fix what she could. This residence (according to her) was on their list of known problem houses; seemed to be a shame that they placed $$$ over customer satisfaction. Would definitely not recommend this property without an extensive rehab.
