• Fantastic weekend

  5/5

  The place was very clean very spacious had a wonderful time. It’s above the monkey bar, and the staff at the monkey bar was fantastic. Every place we went was walking distance and enjoyed the weekend. It was fantastic. I will rent again.

  1/5

  apartment was 80 degrees all weekend and host did not help, he changed the filter after stating it “isn’t even that dirty” and left, stated he’d get it looked at sunday, the day we check out. he was rude in all communication and our fun family weekend ended up being miserable.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Felicia, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  
  - Upon receiving your initial concern about the A/C, the host came out on Saturday morning and found the unit was functioning at 74 degrees. The filter was changed as requested, although it was not dirty
  - Our A/C technician was unable to make it to the home late Saturday night, but arrived Sunday morning to ensure everything was in working order. At that time, the temperature was again reading 74 degrees, and the refrigerant was topped off to ensure optimum performance
  - We understand that the Texas heat can make it challenging to maintain lower temperatures, especially during triple digit temperatures
  - The host's intention was to assist promptly, and apologize if their communication was received as anything other than helpful
  
  Thank you again for providing such valuable feedback. We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests!

  1/5

  We came to Kemah in hopes of a nice getaway and some fun for the kids. Everything was great until bedtime, when we realized we were going to have a very loud and restless night. I realize we are responsible for researching our booking and making sure we cover all the bases. I felt that the description of this property was not accurate and the fact that we were on a street with 9 bars was hidden very well. The pictures of the outside were taken at angles that also hid this fact as well. The noise was so bad that we decided to end our trip early. My 8 year old son was terrified that someone was trying to get into his room and had bad dreams when he was sleeping. I contacted Bryan, the property manager and he was not helpful or understanding at all and just blamed us for not checking the property out more beforehand. I asked if we could be partially refunded for the night we did not stay so that we could book another night somewhere else. and he said he would “think about it” but I don’t think he intended to do anything about it. We ended up coming on home early. I think the details of this property need to be updated to include being close to “nightlife” and I don’t think children should be allowed to stay on a property like that. I think they should consider changing it to a property that doesn’t allow children. We have always had great experiences with vrbo until this time. We were very disappointed in this stay.
