I want to give an honest review because we wish that we had known some of these things prior to staying here. We had 11 people in the same family, ages 2-60, staying in this house for a family trip. We were drawn to this house because of the pool and backyard area, which was exactly how the pictures showed and it was awesome! One complaint about the pool, being mid-summer in Dallas it was VERY hot outside, and the pool water was very, very warm. We did not turn on the heater, but it still was very warm for our entire stay, which was not refreshing or nice in the heat. The house is large and the amenities are nice, you should have everything you need. The hosts respond very quickly when you message them with anything.
Now, for the honesty - the house (primarily the kitchen) was infested with gnats, and we saw cockroaches several times during our stay. The gnats and cockroaches were so bad in the kitchen that it made cooking food, or hanging in/by the kitchen, very uncomfortable and frankly, gross. We were not warned or informed about the gnat/cockroach problem prior to our arrival. They did tell us after we messaged about it that they had previously bombed the house. Also, as you will see on other reviews, the strict rules about being inside after 9:00/10:30 are a bit ridiculous. We wanted to enjoy the great outside space some nights past the time, but had to stay inside. It oddly felt like we were kids in trouble that couldn’t go outside anymore. I understand some people party and would be loud, but we are a family trying to hang out and enjoy each other’s company. Lastly, the neighbor’s dog barked very loudly every morning starting at about 6:30, and it went on for hours - not an issue if your entire group are morning people! Unfortunately, ours are not.
