Retreat by a lake
The lake access and the quiet location are the redeeming qualities. If you don’t mind it being a little on the grimy side, the house is not bad.

Nice Place
The place was as advertised but was superfically clean and could use a deep cleaning. Two safety concerns. A ledge into living room and a step into bunk bedroom need to be marked to prevent falls. There is a hole in the front yard that is overgrown with grass and not easily spotted. It needs to be filled before someone falls and/or damages an leg.

Relaxing and far enough to unplug but close enough to Houston to have a day trip.
Big enough to not feel cramped at all. Have a unplugged vacation away from the city.

Quiet & Relaxing
We enjoyed the quiet dock. Caught & released 1 catfish and 10 turtles. Very comfortable beds and seating in the living room. Cell service & wifi worked well for us. Advised owner that the housekeeping service was a little lax in their duties. Nothing that would stop us from visiting again, but they could do better to protect the homeowners investment and ratings. Our friends that joined us want to return with grandchildren one day since the house is spacious and would accommodate several families. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Great property for seclusion!
If your looking to get away from all the people and noise of the city this is a great place to be. The house is very spacious and has room for a big group. The covered pier was awesome, but the alligators may have kept the fish from biting. We all enjoyed the property so much and hope to return some day! The only downside is there is very little cell phone service and the internet in the house is not great. This is a great place to disconnect from the world!

Great place to disconnect & enjoy your group's company
We had plenty of room to enjoy activities, both inside the house and out. The yard was a plus - gave us a place to run around and play catch. The spaciousness of the house gave everyone an opportunity to come together, but also allowed for us each to break off if we need private space. WiFi and phone signal were not great, but we took the opportunity to disconnect from technology and enjoy our company.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Poorly maintained property. If you just need a place to sleep and AC it will work.
We just stayed here as a small family reunion. Expected to swim (which technically I don't think is listed as an option in the property details) but given the prevalence of alligators we saw at the dock we did not try that. The house itself does meet the listed dimensions/beds but in our experience was very poorly cleaned before us (think black dirt on every foot wihtin minutes of walking around it) and the house and property seem in a state of neglected disrepair (loose items. doors hard to open, etc). If wifi is important to your party I would also avoid the property as it was rendered useless if more than a single device was connected. I would not recommend this property without considerable fixes. Worst property I've rented through VRBO without a question.
