We had a wonderful time. One thing we found was some broken wood on the steps and beside the Fireplace. The wood was there but either loose, broken or both. These little things kept it from being a 5.
The house is right across the street from the country club which made it convenient for golfing. There was a live band that Saturday night and we enjoyed the ability to walk over and listen to music, eat & drink with our friends. The lake was low, but still a beautiful view!
The scenery was beautiful and serene however the cleaning crew needs to be fired. There was trash left from the previous renters. Food stains dripping g down the lower cabinets, lights burned out in the main areas, master bedroom and bath. Hair on the sheets. The carpet in the master bath was crunchy. The outside deck furniture was soiled with bird poop and there were cob webs all over the house. The house was just dark and dull. Definitely not worth the money I spent.
Such a gorgeous home. Upon our arrival around 5:20 pm (an hour after check in is allowed) we arrived to the front door open & a woman walks out with a mop & asked âcan I help you?â I informed her that we were checking in, she then says: âoh is it 4pm already?â I informed her of the time. She asked us to ride around for about 10mins & come back, so we did. Once we returned & were inside, we noticed the cleaning lady & her two daughters were parked across the street outside of their vehicles watching us unload. We should have known then, that something was terribly wrong. Once upstairs we immediately noticed how filthy the house was, I asked my husband to inform the cleaners to come back so that we could address it.
1. The couches & beds were FULL of dog hair, it was rather disgusting, we were shocked! The woman came in the master bedroom & I showed her hair everywhere, she said: âoh I donât think she washed the sheets.â She removed the comforter only & came back with another one & made the bed & vacuumed the floor. After she left we pulled the comforter back & realized the sheets were filthy as well, we were mortified!
2. There was human hair in the kitchen refrigerator & also in the master shower, we took photos of everything. One of the hang towels even had stains on it. There was so much dog hair on the living room couch & pillows that we realized we could not get rid of it all & just ended up flipping the pillows on their opposite sides.
3. The cleaning ladies used dirty towels to wipe down surfaces because the dog hair was left on the stove tops as well, (again we have photos).
4. Upon arrival, the woman & her daughters were NOT wearing face mask & did not have mask with them. Texas is currently being hit hard with a 2nd wave of Covid-19 & these ladies were in the home, half cleaning it without mask.
Thankfully we brought Lysol, sanitizer, & Lysol wipes & sanitized the place as best as we could, but we were up until 11pm re-washing all of the bed sheets & towels & disinfecting the place. If it werenât a four hour drive, we would have just canceled the entire stay.
We tried contacting the property manager the 1st night with no success. If youâre okay with dog hair & having to do your own cleaning & sanitizing this place, go ahead and book it. Otherwise, itâs a really beautiful home inside, great view on the balcony & the kitchen is stocked impressively. In the end, we were refunded for the cleaning fee only.
This is a really cute house thatâs near the lake and a community pool. Great for a peaceful getaway. Has a back deck with a bbq grill. However the a/c didnât cool properly and we didnât receive follow up communication re a resolution. It was disappointing that the golf cart in the garage is not included in the amenities because although the community pool and marina is nearby, it is not walking distance. This location is great. You get to see deer walking around.
Really enjoyed the home and decor. Located in a lakeside community with, boating, golf course, fitness center, park, and tons of deer! Views are tremendous. Would stay here again.
The property was clean and it was able to accommodate the 9 of us easily. The stairs were pretty steep though, the owners/property management were responsive, it would have been better to have some of our questions answered beforehand. I would come back again
Cozy home with great porches, comfortable living room and great kitchen easy access to water, great dock with restaurant, boat rentals or a park with a sand bar. There was a pool, golf and frisbee golf too.
We would definitely go back !
To start off the house is beautiful and is bigger than the ad makes it out to be. The location is amazing and the neighborhood is perfect. With the marina right down the road your boat rental is easy access. The restaurant at the marina was great and for small needs a convenient store is right down the road. The neighborhood park is huge with great lake access. Overall I would stay here 10 times over.
Absolutely beautiful, very clean, fully stocked with all the little things youâd need for vacation. Just a couple minutes to get to the lake where youâll find it to be incredibly peaceful. Iâd definitely take a pop up tent or umbrella for the lake. We will be coming back next year for sure.
The home was clean and had every amenity you would ever need. The huge windows in the living room were amazing, like bringing the outdoors in. When on the deck, you can hear the water from what was once a storm drain, trickling down into a little creek. It's quite relaxing. Deer all throughout the neighborhood and even in the yard were nice little surprises. The park in the neighborhood that we were able to access is enormous and beautiful. I don't think we even got to see the entire park in one day. Lits of bonuses with the home that we didn't even take advantage of, due to we were going just for relaxation. This was a wonderful home.
The upstairs patio is great. With wonderful views. The master bedroom bed is great. Wish there was a tub in the master. Other than that, plenty of room. Great stay. Great house. Canât wait to come back.
Family Gathering for holiday and place was perfect!
Great little neighborhood with marina and golf course within walking distance. House had all amenities- comfy cozy and clean.
The scenery was bad and the porch was not as pictured. The lake view was distant .
I need to do better research on my part in the future. This location is in a nice neighborhood, but everything is far away and traffic is always flowing. I would think that for the fees that are being charged a commercial grade tissue one not be the first choice. Kleenex in the bathroom would not be too much to ask as well. We had to cut our trip short so we didn't spend much time in the area. The best part was all the deer in the neighborhood, but I know we wouldn't select that home again, although it's nice it's just not secluded enough for our liking..
The property is in pretty good shape. Cannot think of anything justifying a negative statement other than Check-In is too late in the day and Check-Out is too early in the morning.
Unfortunatelyy, for us, it was too cold and too windy for us to have the best trip possible.
The house is very nice. The neighborhood is quiet and nice. There is a restaurant in the lake near by ( you can walk) and you can see deers every where. The people cleaning the house is not doing a very good job, when we look at the dishes we realized that a few plates were put up but were not clean 100%. Then we went to clean the dishes and realized that there was not dishwasher soap. I texted the property manager and within 1 hour we got dish washer. Then I realized that the couch which is sĂșper confortable had stains all over. The garbage and the bbq pit were not working either, I notified the manager about these issues as well, but never heard back. If all these issues are taken care of then it will be super nice.
This property is just perfect for our needs...and then some. The first time we stayed, we celebrated our daughter's 16th birthday. We asked her where she wants to go for her 17th and she wanted to return to the Lookout in PV. So we did. As during the first stay, the property was clean and came complete with all the necessities...even shampoo which I forgot to bring. Whew! Location is perfect...off main road (Venture?), close to golf course, club house, tennis courts, pool, and park. Although the pool was closed due to COVID, we enjoyed the lake down at the park and had fun at the Gnarley Gar. If I had to mentioned anything negative, 10am check out is too early as we would like to stay a little longer to get in an activity before leaving.
