Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The property was exactly as described — clean, quiet, and well-maintained. Communication with the host was prompt and friendly, and check-in was seamless. We especially appreciated the comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen and beautiful backyard. The fountain (aka lazy river) was soothing at the end of a long work day. A great stay all around!
Check in and out was so easy. The house is even more beautiful than pictures show. The location is quick and easy to everywhere. Owners are super helpful and responsive.
Comfortable, well equipped, central location with backyard oasis
Centrally located house on a centrally located residential street. Coffee bar was well equipped, backyard was very peaceful and the host provided excellent communication.
My bridesmaids and I stayed here for my wedding weekend and we had a wonderful time. The home and property are gorgeous, with all the accommodations you could need, and the host was incredible. Had great communication and was extremely accommodating throughout the entire stay. Would definitely recommend this location for anyone staying in Kerrville!
My family and I stayed there and it was great! My son loved the game room and we spent our evenings playing out there. The house is very well stocked and we didn’t need to buy anything extra. The hosts were very responsive and checking in on us. Will be staying here again!
We stayed in this beautiful, welcoming home for about a week during a difficult time. You can feel the love and laughter when you enter the home! The backyard is magical!
This property was an amazing place to stay. It was clean, well-maintained, and very well stocked. If you forget, some thing, no worries, they have thought of everything! Bonus, you get to see the family of deer living by the property.😊
Vince was an excellent host who left no details to chance. The house is extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and in a very convenient location.
The backyard is amazing with a fun game room attached. We plan to stay here again soon. Thanks Vince for an incredible stay!!!
This property was a 5 star! Property was very clean and had everything thing you could need! Beds and linens were top, the remodel was done top as well! The backporch, was the biggest hit from all, along with the backyard! Would definitely stay again, we mentioned coming back hear, again.
I can't begin to say how awesome this place is.
Everything was as clean and organized and as perfect as I have seen. Thank you, Vince, for sharing this awesome home with us. And thank you for your great communication, staying in touch. I HIGHLY recommend this VRBO!
The host is wonderful. Great with communication. Quick to reply to messages. Even gave us his personal number once we checked in in case of urgent needs or issues. Never needed it but was nice to have if we did.The home is AWESOME! Spacious, inviting, and very comfortable. Beds, furniture, and appliances look as they have recently been updated. The backyard is way cool. Hot tub was great. There is a waterfall with a little stream that runs around a tree. The sound of the babbling brook is truly relaxing! Wish we had a longer stay to spend more time in the game room. Neighborhood is quite with LOTS of deer walking around!We would definitely stay there again. Highly recommend.
The home was modern and comfortable. The backyard and screened in porch were an added bonus. There were a couple of things that needed attention but the host Vince will take care of them as he is very attentive. The location is excellent as well. There are daily visits from the deer that just love cut up apples, carrots and nuts!
We loved our stay and highly recommend this home for your stay in Kerrville!
This rental ranked up there with one of my favorites. Extremely clean, very spacious and all the details were very thought out, at no point did we ever have a need that was not met. The technology (Alexis) made everything extremely easy to navigate. I could live in the backyard, it is straight out of a magazine!
The owners were very organized, detailed and helpful.
Cannot wait to stay here again!
Decided to rent this adorable home for a 3 night weekend getaway with my best girlfriends. The home was very spacious, comfortable, and close to everything in town. The beds were all comfy, as was all the other furniture. Amenities were provided. Backyard was super cute. Everything was awesome! Will definitely come back to this house if I come back to Kerrville!
We stayed in a cute & clean mint green house in Kerrville, Texas. It had everything we needed, and was very well decorated and tech savvy. The beds were comfortable and the hot tub and game room garage were amazing! We would definitely stay here again. The screened in porch and serene backyard is where we spent many evenings.There was lots of communication from our host, but we didn’t need a thing.This VRBO had it all covered! A little home away from home! We also loved the town of Kerrville. Excellent food at Francisco’s and at Wahoo Seafood!
I think this is the nicest Vrbo I have stayed in! The home is beautiful, and it has plenty of space for guests. We had five adults staying for the weekend, but there was definitely room for more. The back yard is an oasis, the kitchen has everything you could possibly need, and they don’t skimp on the number nor quality of towels. All five of my family members would whole-heartedly recommend this home. We were in town for a wedding and the location was convenient for all of the associated events.
This house is so inviting and absolutely spotless! It was the perfect setting for a girls’ getaway. All the beds are queen or king, the kitchen is wonderfully stocked and the dining room provided a great spot to enjoy dinner together. The back yard is its own little oasis. When you walk out onto the screened porch, you can hear the water feature. So peaceful. We easily walked to the river and park and enjoyed exploring some cute little stores. There is a hot tub that looked inviting though we ended up not using it. Next time we certainly will and there will definitely be a next time! This house was perfect!
We stayed here over Thanksgiving to be near our family’s ranch. The home exceeded all expectations and then some. It was beautiful inside and out, very well maintained, the beds (and pillows!!) were extremely comfortable (and I’m a harsh critic of beds). It was a great layout for our family. Loved that there were Lego Duplos for our children aged 1 and 5 to play with. We didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub but the backyard and sunroom is beautiful! I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a retreat from the city. Kerrville has so much to offer and this home is in a great location. Vince was very easy to communicate with start to finish. Don’t hesitate and book this house today!! 10/10 would stay here again.
