My wife, child and I stayed at this listing in Dallas. We had to cut our trip short due to the un-inhabitable condition of the grounds. The prior reviews are very misleading, except for the single star rating last summer.
This house has an obvious rodent problem (mouse and what I believe to be a possum — luckily never confirmed visually). We saw the owners had small speakers in every room making a chirping noise to deter rodents. Later, we heard scratching and clawing noises (mice) behind the sheet-rock and eventually larger noises and thumps in the ceiling, far too large for a mouse, what we believed to be a possum. This was the reason we left the property immediately and cut our vacation short.
The master bathroom had multiple problems. The pool was advertised (and charged an extra fee) to be heated, but it never got hot enough in our multiple day stay. We thought the pool could not get hot enough due to the cold weather but later found out the pool pumps and heater turned off at night never allowing it to get hot enough for use despite being up to 60 degrees during the day time.
Both property managers for this listing would not make themselves available to answer phone calls, most importantly we couldn’t get the front door open when we first arrived at the location.
It is unfortunate how rundown the house is given that it is such a great layout for a family or multiple famlies. I would not recommend staying at this property, until it at least has the rodent issue resolved.
