Thank you Will for your review! How fun that the house was so well suited for your weekend agenda! We hope you rent from us again!

Thank you so much for staying at our "Belle"! I am so thrilled to know that you all were able to have a short walking commute to The Strand! The running enthusiasts can even run to Stewart Beach! That's about 1/2 mile run. I so appreciate you sharing the wonderful feedback on the VRBO website. We hope you consider renting from us again!

Thank you so much for your complimentary review! I really enjoy trying to make our guests have the best stay possible through the provisions in our home. Thank you for taking such great care of our home while you were staying!!

"We almost died" comment and heading is extremely defamatory, slanderous and libelous. The natural gas leak (which carbon monoxide detectors don't gauge) was a fault of the city. You called me at 9:41pm, and after a short conversation to gather important information from you, I contacted the gas company immediately. I then called you back by 10:00pm to notify you that the gas department would be there in five minutes. As I was explaining to you over the phone, the only appliance in the house that utilized natural gas was the central heat (which was not operating, as the Air conditioning was on) and the first floor gas water heater, which only supplied hot water to the washing machine, the first floor sink, the kitchen sink, and the second floor bathroom, none of which you had utilized in the hour your daughter had been in the house. My two other water heaters are electric, and tankless. Upon seeing the picture of the faulty gas meter connection with the cigarette butt right below the meter I was concerned that someone had recently smoked in the region of the natural gas leak sometime before your arrival and apparently never noted the gas smell. The cigarette butt was a completely separate concern and I never once implied it was from your party!! My texts to you stated repeatedly how grateful I was to you for noting the gas smell. I do want to point out, that anyone who notices a gas leak can call the gas company themselves. Saying I did not act fast enough is simply not true. Perhaps you should have considered contacting the gas company directly yourself to eliminate the 10 minutes you spent on the phone with me. Yes, I did say I wanted to compensate you for your unfortunate experience, and I was planning on doing so, either with a partial refund (even though this was not caused by myself in any form or fashion) or send a gift basket to you. However, upon seeing this review, I realize that you were more interested in blaming myself for this entire affair and wanting financial compensation. Your review is simply not true, and is unjust, slanderous, defamatory and libelous. I would ask you to remove this review from the VRBO website to prevent loss of my revenue. I have sought legal counsel regarding your review, and as advised, am taking this first step to ask you to remove this review from my listing. And because I am a responsible property owner of a historical home in a region known for hurricanes and flooding, I did send an email out to all of my fellow neighbors regarding my gas meter leak, suggesting that they check for any metal corrosion causing same leaks as found on mine. You have every right to have been very concerned and upset about the gas leak. But I would take this up with the city of Galveston Gas Company. One would think they would have proactive surveillance to ensure the integrity of their gas lines. I do have carbon monoxide detectors in the house. But I am also now installing natural gas detectors (not the same as carbon monoxide ones) in the house as well! I am also installing exterior cameras to help deter any future outside irresponsible behaviors! I'm sorry you had such an unfortunate experience, but do not wish to be blamed for this event not have it effect my revenue making opportunities.
