Traveling with young kids: Overall we would stay here again. Location was great and the convenience of having an apartment over a hotel when you have young kids is priceless. The pool was AMAZING for young kids. Our 18month and 7 year old could have happily spent the whole vacation there.
Some areas for improvement:
A few things that could be improved.. they say everything is bigger in Texas, that doesn’t apply to the towels at this air bnb. We were disappointed that this being advertised as a place with a pool, there was only one towel provided for the pool. Being a family of four, it was inconvenient, and we had to use the shower towels at the pool and then throw them in the dryer for the shower. I messaged John about it and he said there should have been two but another guest must have taken it and he would fix that for the future. Also, if you’re traveling and need paper towels, buy some when you go to the store, none are provided. John said he could drop some off for us later in the evening, but it was easier just to get our own. Also, because of many reviews and the post making it seem like the place was going to be scattered with sweet personal touches, I was kind of expecting it, but all there was was a bowl set out with one bag of popcorn and some oatmeal. We used the pack n play and air mattress, and they were very handy to have. Also, I’m not sure why the Hive is recommended to guests. We went there straight from the airport from John’s recommendation and it is a coffee house made for work groups. We asked if it was a restaurant and they looked at us weird and said no but they have a few cold sandwiches- but were out. We were sent down the street to the Armadillo Den and got food- but after 6pm no kids are allowed there since it’s a bar. Again, overall we would come back to this spot.
John was very communicative, so if something dire went wrong, I’m sure he would have fixed it. If we didn’t have young kids, some of the things mentioned above wouldn’t have mattered and we’d probably give it five stars.
