Great Place

This is a great location! A wonderful neighborhood and home close to downtown/River Walk restaurants, but its own oasis away from the hustle and bustle. Easily walkable to downtown. We had 3 generations of family from 15 to 80. The beautiful home had plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and sitting areas. The outdoor area was great! We used the pool every day and night, as well as the outdoor dining area. Also nearby are fantastic eateries for the foodies in your group, as well as places to grab a drink on a hot day. We would love to stay here again!

Historic neighborhood

The house is in an historic neighborhood. So it is not a new house. But it did accommodate our family, one of the drawbacks, there were 4 bathrooms, but only 2 bathrooms have a shower, the other 2 only had tubs. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking utensils, dishes and glassware. The backyard area was nice. The kids really enjoyed the pool. Everything was clean, as we had expected. The host was very responsive to questions and taking care of our needs.

We had a very nice time. Location to the Riverwalk was about a mile walk. Very easy to get to. The house was located in a lovely historical area. Walking distance to restaurants and downtown. The only downfall was the bathrooms. There were only 2 bathrooms with standup showers. It was definitely doable but was surprised about the tubs.

Comfortable Stay in Historic Home

Beautiful home with plenty of rooms. This home had a large dining area perfect for large gatherings. A nice modern touch is the large projector screen in the living room. Although the weather didn't permit, the pool area would definitely be enjoyable during the warmer months. In addition, the location of this house is in walking distance from a number of great restaurants and a short drive from downtown. Hillary is a great host with good communication and quick to ensure that our stay was well.

Great location/property, reservation challenges

Great property in an excellent location! We got all of the little things that no one else bothered to report (hot tub not full, slow draining sink, etc...) but management was very responsive and helpful. I would reserve this directly through their management site--our payment and reservation never went though in VRBO and we had to go through their site directly to pay and reserve. It was very awkward and a little concerning. And we couldn't access the reservation through VRBO until right before our stay. This was also very challenging. Hopefullly they've streamlined this because the place itself is really nice and they took good care of any issues we had.

Perfect for large groups

This cute house is the perfect size for large families or groups. Clean and roomy. Beautiful backyard and all the screened porches makes it relaxing. We ate dinner each night in the backyard too. The location is about a 15 min walk to the Riverwalk which is safe and nice to look at all the historic homes in the King William neighborhood. Hilary, our host, was very responsive when we were confused on how to operate some appliances and find things in the house too. We would stay here again and again!
