Don’t trust the lovely photos - needs serious maintenance

So many things wrong here. I really just realized that I got lucky before with clean, updated and kept-up properties. (Such a bummer, because this property looked really nice in the photos). It’s definitely the same house as in the photos, just FAR more beat up and not taken care of. Cannot cover the windows, things are falling off the walls, the floor is coming apart, water leaks, subpar pool, the home is majorly outdated, the garage looks like a haunted house, nasty and stained mattresses, mold inside & out, master bed frame destroyed, falling apart.I addressed the issues with the owners and was immediately disappointed with the ‘back-and-forth’ texts. You get the “I’ll try to help you, but it won’t really help you” feeling.So many broken blinds. Be prepared to hang towels over each window - it took my wife and I over an hour to hang towels over the windows.Funky and musty smell - smells of old.. It does not smell “healthy” like, at all. The cleaning chemicals add a layer of discomfort when coupled with the natural stench of the old and un-maintained home.I looked back into several of the reviews that CLEARLY states that there are maintenance issues with this house. I have to admit, I really only looked at the positive reviews, the location from NASA, the lovely photos, and the fact that it had a pool. Wow, was I blind.Advice - ALWAYS read the negative reviews closely. If you see more than one that states the exact same thing - that’s a RED FLAG, folks. Gross..

Sisters Trip

Our experience began on a negative note. The house was not clean upon our arrival. I reached out to the host, who claimed she had tried to contact me earlier to confirm my check-in time. However, I checked and found no missed messages, texts, or calls.Unfortunately, the cleaning crew was late, which forced my sisters and me to delay our planned activities for the evening as they worked throughout the house. Initially, we saw that they had put fresh sheets on the beds but returned the used bedspreads. When we inquired about this, they mentioned needing to call the manager. Eventually, they replaced the bedding. After expressing our dissatisfaction, the host refunded the cleaning fee.As the weekend went on, the neighbors called the police five times. They even called while we were in the pool. One sister parked on the curb to help another unpack groceries, and her car was less than an inch over the neighbor’s driveway, prompting another police call.It was a dreadful experience. To avoid further issues, we stayed inside. Despite our professionalism and kindness, the neighbors eventually revealed their frustration with the host for using the property as a vacation rental. They were compiling complaints for the next city meeting to advocate for regulations against vacation rentals in their area. Ironically, the neighbor who complained didn’t even live in his own home, as he was using it for his printing business.It was appalling. I have more to say, but not enough space.

Horrible hosts/rental company

We drove 5 hours to get here at their 4pm check in and got there early and wasted time until check in. Host verified with us we were going to be at the house at 4. Got there at 4 and it was still being cleaned for another hour because people checked out 5 hours prior to us. Came by the house to see itat 3 and nobody was there cleaning. It was pouring rain and we had to sit in the car for an hour for cleaning to finish. They would not offer us any type of refund.Once we got inside we were pretty disappointed that only 1 of the 4 bedrooms had a tv and it wasn’t even the master bedroom. The next day it was 30 degrees outside and we found out that the heater and the fireplace both don’t work. Called property management and they said someone was there the night before and checked and it worked.(which was a lie because we were there the time they said they came and nobody came by) they said they would call me back once they got a hold of maintenance to tell me when they would be by (they never called). Had to end up calling VRBO customer support and have them bother them to fix it which they finally did. Horrible customer service, would not rent from this property manager again. All their support is outsourced out of county so they don’t actually know anything that’s going on.

Kemah Wine Fest

The house is very clean and conveniently located within 1 mile of the Kemah Boardwalk and Walmart Super Center. We enjoyed using the fire pit while grilling outside. Having a garage to keep both of our cars out of the rain was very beneficial! It’s about a one and a half hour drive to the Renaissance Festival too, which was one of our vacation destinations during this trip. The restaurants on the Kemah Boardwalk are fantastic!

Has potential but needs and update and a good cleanup

House overall is ok but there’s multiple broken items including blinds, the bed, handles. Backyard was covered in dog poo, we didn’t bring pets so it wasn’t cleaned from people before. Socks around the pool, pool was dirty on arrival. Needs a good update. The hosts did respond very quickly and were helpful, they made sure the pool was cleaned the next day and returned the grill. The house has potential but needs some updating and cleaning.
