Perfect family visit

Lovely decor, highly functional design. Numerous activities for all ages. Very well located near a fine grocery store, shopping, and restaurants. The host is welcoming, thoughtful, and able to answer questions and accommodate requests by our group. We hope to return for another family visit next year.

Wedding command post

We were in town for our daughter’s wedding. Great location close to UTEP(pictures) and Porta Blu Event Center(wedding and reception). We were able to use the house for hair and makeup and getting ready photos. Our whole family could stay at the house and a bed for everybody. Wonderful outdoor space for relaxing the day after the wedding. The host was extremely accommodating and helpful. The host is also great at communications with you if you have questions.

Thanksgiving weekend

The house was very spacious. Located in a nice neighborhood close to the university which is what we wanted. A couple of things that could really improve the home. New pots and pans! The ones at the home were awful. More cooking utensils. The outside TV was missing the extension cord and sound box so we were unable to watch TV outside. The host did offer to come help us, but we were already starting our Thanksgiving festivities. Overall we would stay there again.

Family vacation

The house had a lot of little things wrong like broken outlet covers. The beds were clean, floors not so much. We paid to have the pool and hot tub heated but hot tub was slightly warmer than the pool. There is one game room area. Not a closed off room. Futons are kid sized not for anyone over 5’10’’. In all the house worked well for us. All doorways were wheelchair accessible.

Kern "Home Away from Home" Experience

Overall, we all had a fun time, but the expectation wasn't there. With four females in the group, mirrors were missing in the bedrooms. It be a good investment for future occupants. The "accuracy of the online listing" stated three (3) bathrooms. Turns out, only two had a toilet and with ten (10) people... When we opened the grill hood, it had old crispy tortillas from the previous renter? Had to really scrub the grill grittles as they were filthy. A "parking issue" was reported by Host. Turns out it was the wrong house. This put a "damper" on the "family get together. However, appreciate the Host approving our long awaited "family get together. Had a wonderful time swimming and playing pool. Appreciate all the "extras" in the barn.

Fantastic location, minimal accommodations

Five stars overall. This was my first rodeo. Seven 70 year old guests spending eight nights, checking out El Paso and NM hiking, wine, and beer. And the Mexican food, and TACOs. A fantastic time was had by all. Now, onto the criticisms, hopefully taken constructively. The spa cannot be isolated, and thus is useless. (We were warned.) Funky plumbing in laundry room shower required the host to tell us how to turn it off. Written instructions would have been better. The washing machine has totally worn-off, mission-critical buttons. Written instructions would have mitigated the problems. +Kitchen is well equipped wrt pots and pans. Great coffee maker. Great dish washer. Zero glasses suitable for wine. Five coffee mugs. For up to 16 guests? Really? Not enough silverware. Dining table only accommodates six. The house needs more chairs. Folding chairs would have been fine. Every room needs a trash can, a mirror, and some cloths hangers. Not enough toilet paper to accommodate seven guests for eight nights. WiFi was flaky. Power cycling remedied the problems. Rain pours off the roof's valley onto where you need to key-in. A rain gutter is needed. (Not an El Paso concept...) Again, five stars from the harsh Silicon Valley judge.

This was a great place for a large group to stay at. Plenty of towels and toys to use in the pool. Lots of TV's which was great for watching football. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook and make coffee. Will definitely book this place again if we go back to EP.

Great Stay in El Paso

Our family of 5 really enjoyed our stay here in El Paso. The house is located in a great neighborhood and is really close to lots of restaurants. It was clean and well-stocked. We all spent a lot of time outside in the pool and then playing pool and retro video games in the game room. Would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic Place for Family Gatherings

My family including my parents, siblings and some of the grandkids gathered in El Paso recently and stayed at Kern Beach. It was a great time because the property was spacious, comfortable, and had lots of amenities. We had 11 people in the house and it didn't feel crowded, and the kids loved the pool and game room. There were plenty of towels, extra pillows and blankets, and seating so that we could enjoy the trip without worrying about the basics. The location near UTEP also put us near lots of restaurants with easy access to I-10 and Scenic Drive. Our hosts were very attentive and quickly answered questions as they came up. The next time I'm in EP for a visit, I will be sure to check if this property is available again.

Kern Beach Review

The property is in a great location near the university and downtown. The owners were very helpful when we needed things such as a sheet for one of the beds. The newly remodeled kitchen was reasonably well stocked, although there were only 5 coffee mugs for 12 adults. Fortunately, my brother lives nearby and could bring any items we needed. The house is an older home with only two toilets, one off the master bedroom which was harder to access. A third toilet in the laundry room would be awesome for larger groups. We were in town for my mother's funeral and were hosting three families. After the funeral, the family had a great time playing games at the dining room table and pool in the playroom. The hot tub can only reach 90 degrees, but the heated pool was warm enough for us to enjoy in the 60 degree weather. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and the owners were great about being available. I would recommend this property for a family gathering.

Wonderful

Great home for any vacation/gathering. Plenty of space and lots of things to do. Pool was heated so kids swam lots, adults enjoyed the pool table and kids loved the arcade games. Lots of tv’s too! Very nice, clean home. We had an amazing time and Matthew was a fantastic host. Only confusing part was it is listed as a 5 bedroom but it is actually a 4 bedroom with 2 futons in the game room (which is what he counted as an additional bedroom). Other than that, everything was perfect and we will definitely stay again!
