The property was in good shape. Beds are very comfortable need more towels, dishes, silverware, and cooking utensils/pots and pans. Ran out of toilet paper and paper towel towels need to supply the property better. Overall clean place would recommend for graduation football game, etc. close to school.

Disappointed

The house was very hot and the air conditioning was not able to cool it down. We rented this place to stay so we could attend our son’s graduation from Texas State. We would have left and stayed somewhere else but everything else was booked. There are some inaccuracies in the listing, too. There are only 2 bathrooms. No whirlpool spa (in the amenities list) and only one parking spot. It’s located in a crowded neighborhood of rental houses for students so there were people partying outside. (Probably because of graduation) The house is very cute and clean (love the layout and decor) but sadly very uncomfortable due to the heat. The owner communicated with us politely but did not resolve the issue. This is the first time I have written a poor review, but I’m disappointed because it kind of ruined our family time during an important event.
