As with all vacation rentals, there's always Pros and Cons. We stayed three weeks and this is our interpretation of the property.
Pros:
*The home appears to be freshly painted, inside and out.
*The owner responded to questions in a timely manner.
*TV in the family area has been updated with a Firestick
*ADT security is installed
*The garage is stocked with strollers for young families.
*There are many fry pans and saucepans for stovetop cooking
*Appliances were clean
*Hot tub is nice, but temperature is preset to 100 degrees
*Home is comfortable, open concept
Cons:
* Highway/Road noise. Toll Hwy 429 "Daniel Webster Western Beltway" backs up to the property. Freeway noise is 24/7. This does not negatively reflect the owners of the property, as this is outside their control.. However, renters should be aware, it's an older neighborhood but definitely not quiet.
*Pool is on the smaller side and gets the morning sun, not afternoon sun. This may be enjoyable in the summer months, but not in the winter months.
*Pool temperature is preset to start at 10am and heat to 84 degrees. There is not a cover for the pool to keep the heat in, so morning temperature was generally 75 degrees. We paid an additional $750 for the pool heat. Be mindful, the hot tub heat is also an additional charge in the booking.
*There is limited baking dishes for oven use. a 7"x11" pyrex and a broiler pan.
