Review Score:   6
Summary: Air conditioning was amazing and kept up well with an extremely hot Texas week. Game tables were very fun and appliances worked well. The house met our basic needs. Host was very responsive when a bed was missing. Room for (sometimes major) improvements: -Had to ask for access to house even after check in time. Thankfully, host responded within 15 minutes. -The flooring is coming up in multiple places. Really pretty dangerous. -While house sleeps 8, there are not enough place settings or tableware for 8. This presented a challenge for us, as well as not having any area available for 8 people to sit comfortably together (to eat or in a common area). No blender as mentioned (we did not need but definitely missing from the listed appliances in the description). -The house description was misleading…while there was access to waterfront technically, there was no real ability to swim or use without bringing your own boat or kayak, etc.. Additionally the advertised pier was incredibly dilapidated. Extremely unsafe to try to walk on. I would not call the house “luxurious”. -We would definitely recommend adding space to hang towels after bathing, especially with no washer or dryer available.
