House had a very distinct dog smell. Broken glass from fixtures on the back porch. Not very suited for children. Owner charged us 347 for damage without photographs. Location is convenient to Waco.

I sent you over 13 photos, of broken items. And the horrible pillows you left in my home, and took mine. My pillows are all covered with protective zippered covers, which are gone as well! You cost me a trip to Waco to bring replacement pillows and chairs, and more supplies. There is no way the home had a dog smell of any kind! There hasn't been a guest with a dog there since last year! You never mentioned any issues at all with the home, but you brought 5 kids with you and left behind food and filth! THIS HOME IS IN WACO! I feel this review is deceptive and will contact Vrbo, to have it removed !
Debbie was very accommodating and communication was excellent. The house supported all 10 of us and was very clean and comfortable.

Its not dark if the lights are on, I'm thinking you experienced an electrical outage during a crazy storm we had, good thing it was at night time, and was just off for 3 hours. But there is lots of light in the home, yes the home was built in the 40s, but has new floors,windows, and lots of modern appliances! I'm glad you had a good time, and sorry for the inconvenience of the storm, glad I was able to keep you updated!
Great for a big group of people, but only two bathrooms.

I absolutely love this property. There was plenty of room. It was clean. It was well put together. Everything worked as it should come and had all the amenities for us. Would 110% recommend this place to other others and if we ever do go back to Waco, definitely staying here again.

Property was a great location close to area attractions. The house had been closed up for awhile and was dusty especially when we opened up trundle beds. The AC wasn't working so after the day warmed up it was very uncomfortable. Overall it served our group and we had a great time in Waco.

Hey Barbara, really sorry about the AC, its a brand new system, I wish you had said something! It had been cold, so the AC hadnt been used, but the next guests that came in , after you left, let me know it wasnt coming on! I sent my maintenance guy over, all it was ,the breaker was off! It was a simple fix, not sure why it was flipped off, but all you had to do is let me know! I would of had him out there right away! Im glad my place met your needs, I was really hoping for a 5 star review, well maybe next time! Communication is always good where ever you stay!
We fully enjoyed our stay. The host was amazing and very prompt with any questions we had. We will stay in the house again if ever needed. So much room for everyone!

Glad you stayed, and thanks for the review, I never had a complaint at all about towels! I know I have a ton of them! Lots of big and thick ones too!

With this being said, would of been nice to have more stars on your review!

We loved staying here for homecoming. We are all BU alumni and enjoyed being so close to campus. We used the fire pit both nights we were there! There’s plenty of beds and the property is super close to H‑E‑B.

Nice but dirty
When we checked in we all noticed several dead bugs, dirty towels in the both bathrooms, human hair on the beds, and blood stains on one of mattresses. The house has enough rooms to accommodate a large family or group.

I'm sorry, but I just don't believe this is the case at all. It takes about 6 hours to clean this entire house after a stay like yours! Which was the time I spent there! Absolutely no bugs or hair in the home or on any beds! You used every bed in the home, 9 beds, and all was cleaned! You entered 2 guests on your reservation, you had 9 that stayed! I did charge you for the additional guests, and the dog you brought! I gave to you a 2 hour early check in,( no charge), and gave you chocolates to boot, and this is the thanks I get? I guess paying for the actual number of guests you brought was enough for you to do this! You should be ashamed! I'll let VRBO know about this review!

Weekend Family Trip
I was a little disappointed. When we first arrived, the AC was off. It was so hot inside. I really expected someone to have at least turned on the Air. It took about an hour to start feeling a cool down. There were bugs all over the house.We purchased breakfast items to cook. The oven did not work. The stove did and there was a toaster over that we made do with, but that was the only meal we tried to cook because of the oven.The back yard was big, but it needed to be mowed. We waded grass every time we had to take the dogs out. We made the best of the weekend, but for the cost for 3 nights I was very disappointed overall.
Communication with the property manager was great up until my credit card was run. The property was nothing like the pictures, it was very dirty, it had an odor that you could not even stand to be in the room, bugs were everywhere, two of the guests were even bitten, they were exposed nails from a falling down shed in the backyard. I called her and she would not respond to my phone calls. I emailed her and no response I would like a refund immediately. The house was 92 when we got there the ACs were cut completely off. Our check-in was 4 PM, we got there around 5:30. The property was filthy. We did not stay. We left the property and rented a hotel. I would like to be contacted by someone to discuss my refund immediately.

This home has certainly made quite a transition! I hope you find everything cozy and comfortable during your stay here! Debbie
