We enjoyed our 8-night stay at Heath’s place. This cute little house was really perfect for our needs, and we were grateful to have found it. There’s a handy QR code on the fridge that contains a link to all the information about the house. Check in was a breeze, Heath was very responsive to questions, and the home is situated on the edge of a sweet, quiet, family-friendly neighborhood in Old Lake Highlands in the White Rock Lake area of Dallas.
The home offers easy access to NW Highway through Dallas, just a few min from 635 and not far from 75, 30, or 20. Close to everything. The WiFi at this property is excellent, and there are two dining tables which made great desks for working from “home” during our stay. There are two big, beautiful UHD televisions in the home with streaming services, which was a big plus. The water pressure and hot water in this house are *powerful*, and having two bathrooms was convenient. The jack-and-jill suite is handy for families with children, and the closet space in the bedrooms was excellent. (One bedroom does not have a closet, but it does have an armoire and built-in drawers.)
The fenced yard was absolutely perfect for our dogs. There is some road noise from NW Highway behind the home, as well as lights from the buildings along that main road, visible from the backyard, but the yard is roomy and the fence is a high quality, tall privacy fence, and it made travel with our dogs easy & possible. We parked on the street in front of the house instead of using the driveway in the alley behind it, just for convenience.
The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need to cook, and the furnishings and decor in the rest of the house were all just fine - it’s a pretty cute place. It was convenient having laundry facilities in the home, too. One note is that all three mattresses are quite soft, so if you prefer a firm mattress or you plan to stay a while, heads up. Though it’s in good shape overall, with a new roof, fresh paint, and high-quality appliances, there is obviously a bit of delayed maintenance on this home, and I’m hoping the property management firm steps up and remedies all the little things that could be improved to bring this solid 4-star property up to a 5.
