Great budget stay-- you get what you pay for here.
We chose this AirBnB because it allowed us to bring our dogs, and included the use of paddleboards & a kayak.
The good: location was perfect for us. 15 minute walk to bar 610, and a 10 minute uber to other bars and restaurants nearby. 10 minute walk to the water. Beds were super soft & cozy, and we were able to utilize the grill. A/C was COLD which is so appreciated in Texas heat. Out by the water, there is a giant "lily pad" float which was so fun to lay out on! The kitchen was well stocked with cooking essentials, seasonings, grill accessories, and wine tools. If you use a lot of AirBnBs, you know how frustrating it is to arrive with groceries in tow, only to find there is only a single skillet and spatula to cook with. We had everything we could possibly need. In addition, the host was very helpful & communicative when we needed anything.
The bad: The paddleboards & kayak are HEAVY, and there are no stairs down to the water. We struggled immensely as 3 women under 150 lbs to get all three back up the hill and we were so thankful none of us got hurt doing so. Regardless, we truly enjoyed & appreciated them being available. I recommend anyone planning to use them to be sure to have some strong folks along to help carry them up the 50 ft, rocky, steep hillside.
Yes, there are roaches. We're Texas girls so we understand & expect there to be roaches in the woods in summertime. You can tell effort is being made to keep them out of the house, but you really can't avoid them 100%. It didn't bother us at all, but for anyone unfamiliar with wood roaches, know that it's not a cleanliness issue. You're literally in the woods. There are bugs.
When we first arrived, the fridge was not cold. Thankfully there was a bit of ice in the freezer to help ice down our beverages for the first few hours.
Lastly, the front door didn't seem to close fully..? It's hard to explain, but the deadbolt is basically for looks. As 3 women staying in an unfamiliar place, it did slightly concern us when we realized the door could be forced in with some effort, but having all of our dogs inside eased the worry.
Overall, I recommend this stay for anyone looking for a fun, no frills, enjoying-the-summer stay. Thank you for having us, Blake!
