I really appreciate you saying that. I try to keep the place comfortable and priced fairly so guests can just enjoy their stay without overthinking it. It means a lot to hear it hit the mark for you. I’ll keep it just as welcoming for the next guests who book.

Earth Haus family vacation

We booked the Calm Water rental Earth Haus for 2 reasons...location and price. The location is awesome, right off the water and easy to locate. Price for the rental was pretty much unbeatable for the size of our group. Calm Water rentals was friendly and quick to respond to questions about the property before the check in. Only issue we had with the rental property was cleanliness. The rental needed to be cleaned better. There were bugs and spiders everywhere and can tell they had been there a while, we had to do a little cleaning to feel comfortable. It wasnt a big issue but we would suggest cleaning more thoroughly. Other than that I'd suggest this rental property to any group.

Terrible plumbing

The plumbing in the downstairs bathroom was not functioning well. My family staying downstairs in the bunkhouse and the room had to plunge the toilet every single day. I did not bring my family to Texas to unclog toilets and deal with stench. Very disappointed and embarrassed.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 May 2024
We are very sorry to hear about this issue with the toilet. Unfortunately no one reached out to me about this during the guest's stay. If I had an opportunity to make it right, I would have sent our maintenance person over promptly to repair the toilet or sent a plumber if necessary. I can only fix problems when I have been made aware of them. The issue is being assessed and addressed today.
