About this house rental
COMFORT & CONVENIENCE. We thought carefully about what we liked best about other short term rentals we had stayed at in the past with our boys, then poured our hearts into this place while remodeling for months. Honestly we went overboard! Here's a list of all the gifts we want to give to our guests we blew coin on: This home is was professionally remodeled inside and out and also has a Volley Ball/Badminton court within a privacy fenced back yard. In that same back yard our guests can dine outside on new exterior furniture with a BBQ grill provided at night under romantic lighting strung up. Wireless WIFI @ 300 MBps, Roku as well as flat screen TVs in every bedroom and in the living are available. TV trays in the living, black out curtains in the blue bed as well as a desk for workers on the go. An electric fireplace will keep you very cozy in the living while you play plenty of games we have left. 7th person sleeps on the couch, sheets, blanket and pillow are in the 1st bedroom foot storage. The kitchen is stocked with everything including a crock pot and margarita glasses if you get the notion, everything but food, spices and someone to cook for you. The bath/shower combo has a fun shower head that lights up in a variety of colors and we have set up dispensers like a hotel for body wash, shampoo & conditioner. Double vanity for couples in a hurry to get going. The mattresses, sheets, comforters, towels, pillows were all selected because they are super soft and pretty. High flow fans were installed in the yellow and blue bedrooms for hotblooded guests or for those who want white noise while they sleep. The two car garage has electric doors for easy access. We installed security lights and cameras for additional guest safety. Oh, did I mention we allow dogs so long as our rules are followed strictly so the property is kept nice for the next guests? Yes we do for only an additional $40.00 fee for dog per visit! You are welcome here, this is your home away from home while you visit Abilene or just get away for a little bit. Come Escape to Jose and Tarae's.

The property was nice and the host goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is nice and you have everything you need. That was much appreciated and the VRBO worked perfectly for what my family and I needed for the week.

Clean, well kept place and property. Communication was great with owner. We had zero problems. Free snacks were left for us. Kids appreciated that, after a long trip! Had a few laundry pods available to use, we appreciated that! We were in town for a softball tournament, and I didn’t even think to bring any detergent. Would recommend!

Everything was very easy, when we arrived the property was clean and nicely appointed. We were in communication with the property manager before and during our stay any questions I had were answered quickly. The yard was awesome they recently put up a privacy fence which gave us and our dogs some seclusion.

The owners have thought about family visits and deliver a nice property for that situation. Many thougthtful touches...a kettle (which we used many times), a stove/oven, a dishwasher, microwave, games/puzzles for family/children. Backyard and dishes for the pup. Snacks & water for the renters.These owners have been thoughtful in setting up this property. We didn't use the the nice table with umbrella in the yard...too hot, but it will be a nice space in more moderae weather. Lots of thought went into the set up of this rental.

This is a cute little house in an older neighborhood that’s conveniently located within 10-15 mins of anywhere in Abilene. The owners have clearly put thought into making it a home away from home for their guests. The home was very clean, recently updated, and had what we needed for a weekend away.
The first day of our stay, the area was experiencing some of the hottest days of the summer and the AC failed. Within less than 2 hours, the owners had brought over and installed window units for each bedroom and then had someone over to address the problem. While it was definitely an inconvenience, we know life happens. What was important was the owner was super responsive and did what they could to address the problem and did it very quickly. It was obvious they care about providing a great experience for their guests.
We’d stay here again if visiting Abilene in the future.

The house was as advertised, newly remodeled and clean. Usable garage was an added help to us. Kitchen was good. Checking out was easy and did not require a ton of work on our part. The only negative about this place was in the beginning. We found the listing, paid for the 3 days and after we were paid up we got late notices saying we still owed another $180.00 which was another 40+ %. After communications with the owner, we found out there was a $20.00 per person per night charged called a "buddies fee" which was not advertised. It was very clear we could either pay the extra money or move on, cancel our reservation and find something else. Can't say I would have handled it that way if I were the owner. I think I would have just chalked it up to "growing pains" being new to the VRBO world. We did get a new listing discount up front that made the price even better but then we had to pay another $180.00. At the end of the day, the place worked for us, it was clean and we got through 2 graduations in 3 days.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a week in this cute home in Abilene while visiting family, and it was perfect for our stay! The host was very kind and accommodating and answered requests quickly! This home was cozy and inviting, had a full kitchen to cook in, a washer/dryer, and plenty of space to make ourselves at home. There was even a basket of snacks awaiting us in the kitchen, which was great after a long journey! The fenced in backyard felt very private and was decorated nicely. Although it was a bit chilly/windy for us to spend too much time outdoors, it was a great spot to sit with coffee in the morning when the weather allowed and I'm sure will be a nice spot to hang out in the summertime. The hosts truly thought of all the comforts and conveniences for their guests and we'll happy to book again when we come back to Abilene 😊
