This stay was an ordeal.I reached out to the owner weeks in advance to let her know I was booking specifically for the pool, she assured that it would be clean and ready to go. I messaged before arriving but did not receive a response, they did not send me any check in info, and I as stuck waiting outside with my children in 100°weather. All numbers provided either did not work, had full box, or were forwarding my call to VM. The only reason I was able to contact someone is because the pool man was there, and had JUST shocked the pool, he advised we not use it for up to 5hrs. The host had poor communication and did not reach out to me, instead they pawned it off on the maintenance man who had to come out and see that the pool was filthy and full of chemicals, on top of that the grass had not been cut, there was no BBQ pit, there were bugs in the closet, and the closet door was broken and almost fell on my child. We had no choice but to stay the night and lost an entire day partly because of them dropping the ball with the check in info and partly because we booked for the pool but were unable to use it for 24 hours. I reached out to VRBO who stated that the refund was the owners decision, they refused to reimburse me for that day. I will never book through VRBO again. Save yourself the trouble and avoid the property all together. They also mentioned that they are always so booked that they never have time to properly clean the pool. No play area as advertised.

The stay was fine. Things that could of gone better… Tried using the oven and there had been brownies cooked that spilled to the bottom area of the oven and were never cleaned with broken glass. Whole house smoked up by the time we found why. Bar stools were broken, chairs in kitchen area were too short for the table. Kitten was not stocked with cookware. We saw one roach, roach houses were exposed. Trash was left from previous renters outside. I had hoped after the previous reviews there had been improvements. I gave it a shot and I should of gone with my gut. Paid too much for all the issues. Property managers are not the owners otherwise I would of sent the photos I took of the property to them. It’s unfortunate because the home itself is spacious and beautiful.

Overall very spacious and clean .

Was not able to get the access code to the property until after check in time had passed. Selected this property as it stated sleeps 10, it did not. Only 3 beds. Luckily we had brought inflatable mattress. The house did have plenty of room. Also selected it because it stated pet friendly & 2 small dogs allowed. When we gained access, the “House Rules” posted stated NO PETS allowed. Lastly, we were unable to cook due to amount of roaches in the kitchen. Disgusting! Cooked the 1st night and luckily we had everything covered. Ate dinner, delayed washing dishes by an hour & when we entered the kitchen, there were roaches on the serving spoons, and counters. Would not stay stay again as there was conflicting information on this rental listing.

Didn't get answers in timely manner. Cockroaches were horrible and sheets on bed were dirty. No end tables or night stands

Plenty of room in this updated house in a quiet neighborhood. The pool was a big bonus since it does get a little warm in Harlingen.

Home was very spacious and temperature was great. Master bedroom bed is very noisy with any movement made. Not enough cooking pans and alot of dusty areas. Check in communication was not very good. I had been messaging host for a month and I didn't get responses like I believed I would. Host didn't give me any check in info, even though I reached out through different methods, until an hour before check in. This was stressful because I didn't know if I was going to get that information or be looking for a list minute stay. There were some roach issues in the kitchen.

Pool was not filled, floors were dirty, no towels. I took pictures. Broken kitchen blinds. Spoke with Shannon. She told us we would be booked in a nicer house with pool. Was lied to. We had to find our own hotel after two days in sleezy hotel with roaches. The pool water was green. Yuck!!
