Run away from this one
Home not kept up. Yard not taken care of. Home smelled musty and bed sheets and comforter dirty in second bedroom. Overall not a enjoyable stay. Sent email to owner who never responed. Black board wall.to write on the only bright spot of stay. Paid more in cleaning fees than then rate, not sure where that money is going. Would not stay again

Quick, Easy Stay
Upon arriving, we noticed the noise had not been thoroughly cleaned. We did notify the house manager and he was quick to reply. This was a 5 week stay for our family and any time there was a maintenance issue, the house manager was prompt and technicians were out the next day for repair. This is a nice place for a weekend rental, if you’re coming in for a football game. Close to campus and nice, older neighborhood.

Nice place. Poor communication
Things that worked: Convenient to campus, pet friendly, big fluffy towels, plenty of hot water, good water pressure, fenced backyard, comfortable beds, comfortably furnished, clean, convenient check in and check out, looked like pictures. Things that didn’t work: I booked several months before our trip. I sent a message when I booked, no response. A few weeks before our trip, I sent another message through the app, no response. A week later, I sent again, no response. I finally contacted VRBO customer service and they got me in touch with The person managing the property. She was very nice and accommodating she said there must be a problem with the system. She was able to login and see my old messages, but not my new ones. A few days before check-in I received an email with directions for checking in. I sent a question via email, no response. On the day of check-in, I used the phone number in the email to text about early check in, understanding that it might not be possible. The person responding was very kind and polite and said they would get back to me as soon as the cleaners left so we could check in if they finished early. They never followed up. We checked in at regular time. The lawn and shrubbery were very overgrown at check-in, but they were cleaned up the next day. We rented a VRBO because we have a dog. It is much more convenient than a hotel room. Normally when staying in a VRBO, the manager let us know if someone is coming by to put out the trash or whatever. We were not notified that the lawn people were coming. Not a big deal, except there was a problem with the latch on the back door and our dog got out and the door could not be secured. We just happen to come home at lunch to put our food away. The back door was wide open and was blocked with some small bag chairs. My dog weighs 75 pounds. Fortunately she was inside. When I called the manager, she said that she had tried to call me. That the landscapers had called her and my dog had gotten out, but a neighbor put her back inside. I did not have a call on my cell phone. Perhaps she called my home phone. But my cell should have been available as we were texting the previous day. This could’ve ended tragically. Overall this is a nice place to stay and it’s very convenient to campus. It is an old house and has old house issues, but it is clean and comfortable and comfortably decorated. But the communication is bad, no matter the method used.

Excellent Stopover
We had an excellent time at this property on our way from Austin to Santa Fe. We loved being able to walk through the neighborhood to the playground to get out some energy before and after long drives, and the kids loved the chalkboard walls!

Great location for Tech move in
We stayed 2 nights at the home since my daughter is starting her freshman year at TTU. Plenty of space for all of us and very comfortable beds. And the huge TV with Roku built-in was a great way to unwind on the 2 comfy couches at night after a couple of long days. Oh, and was really happy to find J&B Coffee just a quick walk away from the home. Great coffee shop! Garrott was super communicative throughout the process and our stay and was sure to to check in and make sure w eyerying was going smoothly. Much appreciated!
