Review Rancho Azul

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was perfect, more than we expected and met all our hopes.No one needs anything more, nice, clean, fresh, the TV was the biggestfrustrations when we weren't outside and at night. Maybe a handrail and tiled bench in the on suite master bath and a fridge could use a new look.

Texas fun

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was great except the washing machine. My family always packs lightly. We always rent a place with a washer and dryer so we can do so. The washing machine was broken and you could only wash a shirt and pair of shorts in a load if that. Very frustrating. A person came to check it, but it needed parts to fix. He was kind and I did appreciate the service call. The parts weren’t available until after we were gone.
