Had a good time
This could be a beautiful home with some TLC and DEEP cleaning. Had high hopes for improvements from previous reviews. There are some repairs needed and way too much personal items left in the home. The various rm closets had shoes, clothes and junk. All drawers in most rooms had many random items in them (heating pads, table cloths, and the list could go on). There was no organization to the kitchen cabinets and lots of well used stuff. We were disappointed that the bathroom towels were well worn (good car wash/dusting towels now) and folded but thrown randomly on the bathroom shelf. Did find some nicer towels tucked away in one of the dresser drawers and under the sink in the master bath. The rugs in all bathrooms need to be replaced or a good washing. The mattress in the master needs replacing. We found ourselves rolling to the center of the bed because it was so worn out. A big disappointment was the TV service. There are TV's in some of the bedrooms and in the living room but the info on the rental does not mention that there is no reception over a normal antenna or cable. There is only streaming such as Netflix or AppleTV or DVD's. This is only mentioned in the book left for the guests which has many pages handwritten (not neatly) in pencil. I could go on but will refrain. I would be happy to discuss further if contacted. Not great for $1200+. Felt it was someone's home and they leave when it's rented. We will not recommend this property unless improvements made.
Nice location and a good property.
Plenty of room for 4 adults and 4 kids. There is so much to do in Wimberley , While on the Blanco River we saw Wild turkeys and deer crossing the river. A great getaway from big city life.
The property was nice - it did have a good layout for sleeping for 7 women. There were all the kitchen necessities for sure and the porch was nice and comfy. The biggest issue was that it was not as clean as it should have been. The dishes needed to be washed before using any of them. (we left a note for the staff and the woman that cleaned the place called apologized and said she had not realized the dishwasher was not working when she put away the dishes BEFORE we arrived.) The house needed a good dusting. We found plastic drink lids on the floor and on a nightstand. Sounds silly, but it showed the cleaning staff didn't do a very thorough job on easy things ... so what about the deeper cleaning issues? There were dead bugs in the light fixture in the kitchen and in any of the cute decorative items. There was quite a bit of the owners personal belongings in the house. One closet had clothes and supplies in it, but the other 4 bedroom closets had things piled in them that it seemed they didn't know what to do with. (Floaties with the air half in them, old mattress topper, comforter/pillows (some of which were stained and could never be used - so why not pitch them?) In all it was a nice house - and would have been perfect if it had been picked up a bit better.
Our group enjoyed our stay and the property is exactly as described.
We needed a place with plenty of beds and bathrooms -and close to rest of my big family for our Christmas celebration. All my young grandkids loved the play room upstairs and the big covered deck in the backyard too. This was a wonderful house for us with extra space for everyone to spread out.
Unfortunately we were in town for a funeral. There was miscommunication upon check in and we had to clean the kitchen. But the WORST part is the Neighbors Big Dog Barked literally the entire night! We had to buy ear plugs and the owner lives next door so its not like they did not know what was happening. Super disappointing to spend a lot of money for a 2 night stay and get zero sleep on such a hard emotional weekend.
We had to call the home owner due to the AC leaking in the kitchen. We could not have the ac lower then 75 or it would start to leak., the upstairs bathrooms were hot! The floors were dirty and they left all there personnel toiletry & hygiene product in the restroom.
This property is wonderful! Host is wonderful! My in-laws were the first to arrive to the property, and it was not quite check in time (4pm). But the neighbors were so friendly and welcoming, and gave them directions to the neighborhood river access. The property host was just finishing laundry, and let them change clothes at the property. Such friendly hospitality! Then the host arrived later to put the laundered sheets on the bed - she was so kind. Having rented a variety of properties off VRBO, I'm never sure what kitchen supplies there will be. So we brought lots of pans, a blender, measuring cups, etc, but SURPRISE! This place is fully stocked, just like your own home would be. Plenty of sleeping space for everyone as well, pillows were great, lots of towels, and the big back yard / patio was lovely in the evenings. Also (thank you for having...) parking spaces for our 4 cars. The property is in a wooded, quiet neighborhood with great Blanco river access. Lots of deer to watch. Bring your tubes, floatees, swim suits and water shoes for a wonderful stay!
