This was my first (ever) VRBO experience and I was very pleased. My dad flew in from CA with his cousin to attend a wedding, and us children took it as an opportunity to visit with him while he was in Texas. There were 11 of us in the house with plenty of room. There are two tables and a bar to sit at and enjoy your meals or play games. All beds had nice linens and were comfortable. We had 4 vehicles parked in the driveway with room to maneuver in and out without problems. There was also room to park in the garage. There are only 2 TVs in the house - one in the living room and one in a master bedroom. Depending on your reason for visiting, this may not matter. Personally, it made us spend more time in the living room TOGETHER and for that, I am thankful. The backyard is fenced and even has a fire pit that we utilized to make smores one night. Make note if you visit, the keypad for entry is on the front door. Oh, and the central air conditioning works great!
This home is in a lovely neighborhood with gorgeous mature trees, and it is just two short turns from the main Boulevard. We swore that there was two of everything on that road! Traffic on the Boulevard was extremely busy on Friday and Saturday, so plan accordingly. This home is conveniently located near restaurants and stores, yet it’s in a quiet neighborhood. The owner is very responsive and a pleasure to work with. If we return to Tyler for any reason, we will reserve this home again – without hesitation!
On another note, we tried two restaurants at the suggestion of the owner. First up was Stanley's BBQ on Sunday - it had a cool atmosphere and would probably be lots of fun on a Friday or Saturday night. Unfortunately, none of us liked any of their BBQ or the sides that came with, and it was overpriced in our opinion. The other suggestion was Don Juan's on the Square. Parking was a bit of a challenge but there was an event happening which may have contributed to the difficulty in finding parking. The food was good and fresh, but the service could have been better. If you like HOT salsa... they have it! We didn't get a chance to try the other suggestions but look forward to trying them next time.
