Lone Star Motorcycle Rally 2024

We drove in from far & arrived at 2:30 at the location to see where the place was & as we arrived a lady was there and a bit rude yelled out that check in was not till past 4 pm and added the comment of unless you going to pay extra. So, it was not a warm welcome & to only come back at 4 pm and read the house rules that read that check in was at 3 pm. It was contradicting & already a sour taste to our start of our trip. The internet did not work and we were not able to use the tv's or the internet. The towels were a bit smelly as some of the pillows. It stated it had a heated pool, but it was not heated, it was cold- and no directions on how to work the heat on it. It did have an elevator that worked and was very useful to carry our luggage up to the rooms. There were plenty of rooms and beds to accommodate everyone. We were a small group of 6 that ended up staying so it was perfect space to accommodate everyone.

Felt "nickel-and-dimed" for basic supplies

Let me begin by saying that this is not the first place that we have rented as a family. This is the first time that items for basic needs were not provided. We had a conversation about not enough towels, and no trash bags, and you stated that someone would be bringing some. Apparently, this is a line that has been told to other tenants; no one showed up for them or for us, either. We ended up having to buy toilet paper, paper towels, actual towels, dishwasher tablets, trash bags, and cleaning wipes. The washing machine did not drain, apparently the cable bill had not been paid, as there was a notice on the tv to that effect, so we had no wifi or television. Only one shower had hot water. The bunk beds had little support; our teenager felt safer sleeping on the couch. There were positives: It was a very nice property. The pool was nice (although the filter needed to be cleaned, badly, which we did). It was great having 4 refrigerators, and ice makers. We appreciated the big kitchen and played family games at the large dining table. The garage area was perfect for hanging out after the pool. I just feel that expecting people to bring the supplies that we had to purchase was asking too much; who brings those things on vacation? It would have been easy to bring this up to a 4-5 star property, with a little more consideration. Perhaps you've had bad results with other tenants taking those things, I don't know. But all in all, we made the best of it, and enjoyed our stay.

Ok

It was a ok house but one of the reasons why we booked this house is because of the elevator but it was broken and I didn't know anything about it until we were trying to get it to work and it didn't. I sent a email asking about it and was told it was broken. I had family that couldn't go up and down stairs so they were limited to downstairs. It would be nice to known this before hand. Also the the house needs to be updated. The beds were not that comfortable either. Be prepared to bring your own paper towels, trash bags etc. The pool was refreshing but make sure you have insect repellent. The insect are very bad around the pool. Also the pool could be updated too. We did have fun but at the elevator was very disappointing.

If I had known before hand

Pros:Large property, elevator, pool, outdoor shower, large yard, parking, quiet location, 2 porches, numerous tvs, four refrigerators, cold a/c. Cons:Key to elevator was not available at check in. Had to travel 90 minutes get it. Wifi & television non existent first day. Downstairs apartment smell bad. Downstairs bathroom hot water difficult to get. One bedroom has double mattress on a broken queen frame. No lawn chairs for beach. Skillets in poor condition. More silverware needed. No grilling utensils. Bring your own garbage bags, kitchen towels, silverware, dish soap, & toilet paper-only enough provided for one day. No swim towels or laundry soap. Floors appeared unclean & bugs everywhere on arrival. Front storm door spring & back door screen are broken. Safety issue, tight metal spiral staircase right as exiting the elevator. Elevator is pitch dark unless button is held down. Waterslide water hose broken. Stickers in grass around pool. A/C controls are locked. Bugs are an issue. It worked for what we needed, but could have been better. Host issues can be fixed.

Nice!

I told Ms. Rosalind that she needed to update her pictures on VRBO because the property is nicer than the pictures shown. She really worked well with me. My family who trusted us to get the property was pleased and asked us to look into planning to stay at the home again for the next family trip. The pool was truly heated. She didn't talk much about the downstairs garage room--very roomy with lots of tables and chairs. We didn't get to use the ping pong table because it was folded. Extra refrigerators that seemed ideal for storing fish if you go fishing--wont interfere with regular refrigerators. Only wish she had a vent in the upstairs kitchen--i was a little afraid of smelling the house. I would certainly stay again. Lots of extras.

It is what it is.

We chose this property for the Handicap access which worked well and was adequate in sleeping arrangements. We had 9 adults. 5 siblings and 4 spouses for a family get away. When we stayed there were no top sheets on any of the beds which we found odd. No water pressure in the Master shower, no hot water in the downstairs bath and the main bath upstairs didn't drain too well. The canopy on the upstairs deck doesn't work. Be sure to get the Property Damage protection policy because all appliances (except the upstairs stove, which broke while we were there) are old and could break at any time. It's been 8 weeks since we stayed at this property and I still haven't received my "refundable" deposit back. Ms Brooks is not the easiest person to work with. She hasn’t filed the proper claims for reimbursement and is holding the refundable deposit, won’t return calls or answer text messages. JUST BE PREPARED.

INAUSCA Texas Edition Fiesta celebration

Big place just enough for our family and close relatives and friends. With 3 full baths, 3 refrigerators and 2 kitchens. Plenty of rooms to accommodate us. Other family members were having tents outside for the night because of the huge ground. Elevator was a plus for the oldies with arthritic pain. It was hot during the weekend, so the younger ones played ping pong the garage. We were supposed to play badminton and volleyball in the ground or yard, but it was too hot. This house rental is the only one I found which allows events. We had karaoke night and then dancing. We had so much fun knowing we were just staying there. The occasion was ‘Till morning the night’. Thank you Ms Rosalind Brooks for allowing us to check in few min ahead of time. This is highly recommended for a group or family get together.

Bad-Good-Summary

1st- Upon arriving at the property it was in disarray. Housekeeping was working frantically to get the house cleaned and ready for us(we arrived 30min early but there was ALOT more than 30min worth of cleaning to be done). There was broken chairs around the pool, the BBQ area was unclean with even food left on one of the grills, the ground was covered with what must have been a water balloon fight remains, food left in the gaming area downstairs, trash around the property grounds, ALL the garbage cans were on the road OVERFLOWING with garbage, No towels left out for use(NONE), no washcloths(NONE), no hand towels(NONE) and no keys to the property in the lockbox. We waited patiently until 4pm check in and then housekeeping said upstairs was ready and they were still working on downstairs. Needless to say at this point I was attempting to contact Property Owner Rosalind Brooks to notify her of the situation. Well....housekeeping left and I'll say they did a good(not great) job of cleaning rooms, bathrooms, kitchen and floors. Grandson finally found the keys to the property under one of the TV's downstairs bedrooms. Housekeeping's manager came back to the property around 6:30 0r 7 and got some towels, dishtowels and washcloths out of a storage room for us. Miss Brooks also contacted me that evening and apologized for the condition of the property and said she would be there the next day. Well....that was the arrival. 2nd- The next day and for the remainder of our stay we found the property to be dated but very nice for a large group(we had 6 adults and 7 teen-preteen young ones, 13 overall). Elevator IS a nice touch with the main kitchen being upstairs and helping with back and forth. Pool was nice(needed some attention but was manageable). Grills were serviceable(AFTER Cleaning). Lots of refrigerators and tables for large group. In summary of our stay...we had Good and Bad. The arrival was a disaster but after meeting with Miss Brooks I understood a little better(some people don't have ANY respect for another persons property). The Pool was nice and the elevator is nice if you need it. Large groups will do well there and it is only a short drive to the beach. I've stayed at many property's and for the price I would not stay at this property again, mainly because of the issues upon arrival. Roasalind is very nice and she'll do everything she can to make your stay enjoyable. Just hope you don't have to follow bad renters like we did.

Arrived. Downstairs wasn’t cleaned. Carpet rug dirty. Looked like powdered sugar on all furniture in the living room. Sheets weren’t clean. I have pictures if needed. Long story short. I left my iPad there. Live 4 hours away. Called Ms. Rosalind Brooks multiple times to see if she could ship it back(I’d pay) or if I could have friends that I know there pick it up. She blocked all of my calls n text. Stay there at your own risk knowing that the place might not be clean and that the property manager sure isn’t an honest person.
