This house is super cute! It was exactly as advertised. Im giving it a 4 star based on the house. My daughter loved it! We did have a few issues during our stay. When we arrived it was freezing in the house & only one heating unit in one room would turn on. We called in to let them know the units were not turning on they told us there were 2 small heaters in the master closet to use. It's a big house so not suffice. I about froze the first night. I called them at 8am the following morning & said can someone please come take a look at the heaters they said someone would be out asap. We waited ''all day for them to show up so it wasted our day which was disappointing. The hvac said the mother boards were out on the heaters so that's why they wouldn't work. Thankfully the property manager went & bought 2 more electric heaters which we were very thankful for. Also the previous renters had a dog there so we found a few doggie presents around the house that we had to clean up, & the race car arcade game didn't work. To top if off before you leave you are supposed to load the dishwasher. I open the diswasher and it was full of dirty dishes from previous renters and the dishwasher would not turn on so I had to call in again. I think if they would just fix their heat/air which I seen other negative reviews on and fix their dishwasher then this place would be perfect! The house is fun and very decorative. We did enjoy the house and even with the few issues we had we would stay again.
We enjoyed our stay. The house was exactly like it was depicted in the pictures. Property managers were in regular communication with us. Easy check out process. Would stay again!
Fun place to stay. Great location. Short walk or drive to beaches, shops, and attractions.
We loved the location and the house. Kids enjoyed the theme of the house very much. We would definitely stay there again.
Cute place to stay. Only complaint is the ac/heating system did not work properly.
We brought a bunch of sassy 6 year olds who absolute loved taking selfies all over the house! Super cute! House had everything we needed. Only downfall would be location-- its not terrible... its just super close to the houses next door. But overall, we loved the home!!! ?
There were a few things wrong but nothing terrible to the point I would rank this a terrible place to stay. The area was very quiet no real problems with noise, There was a lot of dog hair on the floor from the previous visitors or owner that was not cleaned off the floor. The ac wasn't working upstairs and the ac units in one of the kids rooms along with the one in the living room wouldn't stay on. So at times it did get warm in the house. The master shower didn't drain properly and the television didn't work in the downstairs living room. All that and I would still recommend this property to someone because they worked hard at resolving my issues and tried accommodate my schedule while I was there.
Thank you so much!
Nice property very accurate cleanliness location was great, a little request is to get a night light for the kids room but overall great place
Pros: - Property manager had exceptional communication and ensured we had everything we needed for a great stay. - Inside the home, we throughly enjoyed every single room’s super fun decor, convenience of supplies like beach towels and kitchenware, detergent, extra bath towels, games and arcade, and just overall cleanliness. - The backyard was spacious for the kids to play volleyball - It was a short drive to the beach and pier! Cons: - The property is located in a very old neighborhood and also a block away from five cemeteries. More on this later… - There were suspicious neighbors constantly walking up and down the block, and with no private garage or parking (public parking in front of the house), it was a bit uneasy to continue make sure our two cars were okay. - Around 3-4 AM, ceiling lights would slowly fade and turn on fully bright. This would be the downstairs Thrown and Jungle rooms. We would turn it off with the remote and then a minute later, it would turn off again. We turned off the switch entirely in order to sleep. - On 2 different nights, 3 of us heard footsteps going up and down the stairs for at least 5 minutes… which is a long time to hear constant and rhythmic thumps. - I stayed with my 2 siblings and 5 teens. We all heard and experienced different occurrences that spooked us. Other than that, I think the stay was good and would recommend it for families!
The house had everything the kids needed to have a great vacation. They enjoyed taking selfies in each room. There were enough supplies provided, which lasted our entire trip. We had a few hiccups, but they were quickly settled with one call/text to property management. Overall we had a great stay, and would recommend this home to others.
Check-in was very convenient. Which is important to a family traveling with toddlers! The pack n play they provided was super clean and in great condition! They even provided a sheet for it, which was a nice touch. Our children loved the video games and the giant jenga blocks. The beds were very comfortable! The bathrooms were clean and fully stocked with all the necessities. So glad they provided Netflix for those nights that a storm rolled in! The property management team took care of the issues that arose during our stay. They responded immediately! This is so important. The fast and professional communication made this trip a success. One of the reasons we chose this house was the sand pit. However, it was not as described in the pictures. Hopefully they can redo that in the future or just take out…? However, it was raining SO much that it was the least of out concerns. We made it out to the Moody Gardens which was worth every penny! (And the pizza place suggested in our guide was easily one of our favorites! Mama’s Flying Pizza, I think…?) We definitely made wonderful memories during our stay!
Thank you for such a wonderful stay! We were able to disconnect and have wonderful family time! We loved all the amenities and not having to worry about having enough essentials. We would love to visit again, thank you for everything
Nice house for big group. Neighborhood is fair. Dryer did not work and there was not time to fix it while we were there. Really nice bathrooms. We had a great time.
