Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
It’s obvious a lot of thought and love went into designing and furnishing this property. The property is welcoming, spacious, beautiful and quiet. The three bedroom, three and a half bath setup allows for privacy and personal space. The common areas are comfortable and spacious. The pool and pool furniture are perfect for relaxing outdoors and visiting. The wide initial step into the pool is great for sunbathing or for child’s play. The waterfall feature on a timer and soft colored lighting in the evening are beautiful. The kitchen is impressive. Cookware, utensils, coffee makers, and the open concept first floor made it easy to cook, clean and enjoy each other’s company. There’s even a couch and end tables in the kitchen! The kitchen door leads to the pool. The main door leads to the fire pit area. The second floor game room is a treasure! We were there for a surgery at MDAnderson that required an extended stay. This property was perfect for us! The full size washer and dryer were invaluable. The property’s location made it easy to visit restaurants and local attractions during the recovery period. We used a ride share service and the trips were reasonable. All deliveries of groceries, meals and other online shopping were delivered timely and with ease. The star of the show was the hostess. She was responsive, kind, and caring, checking in to see how things were going and if we needed anything. Large groups or small will be blessed to enjoy this haven!
