Avis Lake Tawakoni Home w/ Deck: 6 Mins. to Water!

Neighborhood location is great thats about it. Believe every bad review you see about this rental because they are true or much worse.

The house was pretty clean eye level down. Eye level up looked like it hadnt been touched in a while. On top of that the yard was not well maintained and I ended up having my nephew bring bring me a weedeater since we were spending out time BBQ. The pictures also make it look like the property backs up to the lake, its .4 mile walk. The pool cues for the table all have broken tips. I actually left my cue there. The dock is great, the house lays out well and is really nice, worked well for us but we did a lot of cleaning when we got there. Also, the VRBO listing says you can host an event. The evolve rules state it is against the rules. We had a small BBQ for a wedding rehearsal dinner. I dont want to be overly harsh because it worked for us but a little effort on the cleaning and upkeep would have saved me 3 hours of doing someone elses job.

The home and our stay was great! I didn’t think the listing did the home justice. The back yard was awesome. The game room was super fun since our Saturday was very rainy. The home was clean, updated and had everything we needed to make meals. We plan to return to this home.

I rented this house for our family to attend my wedding in Celeste. My family lives in south Texas, I live in Oklahoma so this looked like the perfect house to rent for the weekend. It is a beautiful home but it was such a disappointment. I was so embarrassed of how dirty and unkept the house was. From the inside of the refrigerator, to the bathrooms that smelt like urine, the filthy windows, rugs, and light switches. The outside was scattered with litter, broken trampoline, and dirty lawn furniture. They have piles of building materials scattered about the back yard. Definitely not a safe area for my niece, nor grandmothers to walk around. The property also has an aerobic system with sprinklers that went off every 5 minutes. Smelt of septic. I would NOT recommend this vacation rental to anyone. I felt myself apologizing repeatedly to my family. My 2 year old niece picked up shot cups with dried liquor that she found in the game room. A used bra was found on the floor in one of the bedrooms. I could list many other unsatisfactory items found, but will stop by saying again how very upsetting , dissatisfied and disappointed I was. I would recommend not renting this place to anyone. It gives VRBO and EVOLVE a bad reputation.

This was a beautiful property with a lot of fun things to do. The game room is fully loaded, plenty of comfy beds, and lots of outside amenities i.e. trampoline, outdoor patio set up with outdoor grill, TV, basketball, etc. Unfortunately, this was not a good experience. When we arrived the house was dirty. We had to scrub out the frig before we could unload food, the house was bug infested, the worst of which was the severe roach problem in the kitchen. No water pressure in the kitchen, (Made it very challenging to enjoy making meals), AC worked great throughout the house, but didn’t work at all in the back two bedrooms with the Jack and Jill bathroom. The owners had the house well stocked with cleaning supplies, but it was very difficult to find anything. When we reached out to the owner about the roaches, kitchen water, and bug problem, as well as asking about where the outdoor trash was located he only responded about the trash. All of the patio amenities were in such filthy poor condition they couldn’t be used. Better communication on the front end would have been incredibly helpful. For example there was an outdoor mister that seemed to be for helping to control the terribly thick nighttime bug warning problem, we just happened to discover by accident at the end of the 3rd day of our four day visit. This is one of several examples of poor communication. If they could set this up where things inside and outside were clean and usable, and clearly communicated on the front end this could have been a really great experience. We spent most of our 3 days was spent in the game room. Unfortunately, definitely not worth the money.

Property was very relaxing comfortable beds plenty of room really was a great stay

The place was great. Drive to the marina was right down the street. Everybody enjoyed their stay. Lots of room for everyone to relax

The property description is deceiving. You are not “steps away from the shoreline”...it’s a 5 minute drive to the dock. The boat is stuck in their backyard so you can’t rent it out even though it’s advertised that you can. Our first night there, a shower head/rod fell on one of our children and hit her in the eye. After further inspection, ALL the shower heads were not secured to the walls so we had no showers for 24 hours until he could finally get his “friend” to come and fix it after much inquiry for a solution. Then 2 days later, all the toilets and showers backed up and we had to vacate our property 2 days early due to the owner not being able to get anyone out until an undetermined amount of time. We asked for a refund for the last 2 days and the owner said he would. After several emails and no response, we contact the owner via text. He stated that we clogged the toilets and because he had to pay for the septic tank to be fixed, he would only refund us one night. We stated that was not our fault because we barely stayed at the property and hadn’t even gone through a roll of toilet paper during our stay. We asked to see the report and he would not give it to us. We contacted EVOLVE and filed a complaint and sent pictures and texts of everything that happened. Evolve never got back with us and only sent an automated email for a refund for less than 1 night stay. We are still fighting to get back our money. Stay away from this property.

Peaceful stay and easy access to the lake. The property manager was quick to respond to all of my texts and was very accomodating. If you bring plenty of grocieries for your stay, you won't have any reason to leave. Plenty of outdoor stuff to do around the house and on the property. The house is well furnished, with plenty of cooking appliances and cookware.
