• Daughter’s wedding in Celeste

  2/5

  I rented this house for our family to attend my wedding in Celeste. My family lives in south Texas, I live in Oklahoma so this looked like the perfect house to rent for the weekend. It is a beautiful home but it was such a disappointment. I was so embarrassed of how dirty and unkept the house was. From the inside of the refrigerator, to the bathrooms that smelt like urine, the filthy windows, rugs, and light switches. The outside was scattered with litter, broken trampoline, and dirty lawn furniture. They have piles of building materials scattered about the back yard. Definitely not a safe area for my niece, nor grandmothers to walk around. The property also has an aerobic system with sprinklers that went off every 5 minutes. Smelt of septic. I would NOT recommend this vacation rental to anyone. I felt myself apologizing repeatedly to my family. My 2 year old niece picked up shot cups with dried liquor that she found in the game room. A used bra was found on the floor in one of the bedrooms. I could list many other unsatisfactory items found, but will stop by saying again how very upsetting , dissatisfied and disappointed I was. I would recommend not renting this place to anyone. It gives VRBO and EVOLVE a bad reputation.

• Disappointed

  This was a beautiful property with a lot of fun things to do. The game room is fully loaded, plenty of comfy beds, and lots of outside amenities i.e. trampoline, outdoor patio set up with outdoor grill, TV, basketball, etc. Unfortunately, this was not a good experience. When we arrived the house was dirty. We had to scrub out the frig before we could unload food, the house was bug infested, the worst of which was the severe roach problem in the kitchen. No water pressure in the kitchen, (Made it very challenging to enjoy making meals), AC worked great throughout the house, but didn’t work at all in the back two bedrooms with the Jack and Jill bathroom. The owners had the house well stocked with cleaning supplies, but it was very difficult to find anything. When we reached out to the owner about the roaches, kitchen water, and bug problem, as well as asking about where the outdoor trash was located he only responded about the trash. All of the patio amenities were in such filthy poor condition they couldn’t be used. Better communication on the front end would have been incredibly helpful. For example there was an outdoor mister that seemed to be for helping to control the terribly thick nighttime bug warning problem, we just happened to discover by accident at the end of the 3rd day of our four day visit. This is one of several examples of poor communication. If they could set this up where things inside and outside were clean and usable, and clearly communicated on the front end this could have been a really great experience. We spent most of our 3 days was spent in the game room. Unfortunately, definitely not worth the money.

  5/5

  We have been taking our family of 10 on a summer trip (for a weekend) every year for 14 years, to bring us together. It has been the best thing we have ever done. We have seen the little ones grow up as we get older. We have rented homes in many different places in Texas and a few in Oklahoma. Always near lakes. So we call it our lake house trip. Some of the places were unacceptable and some were acceptable, then there were some that were exceptional.

  This one was one of the good ones. The place was beautiful and the house was nice. We needed another bathroom but we made it work. The kids loved the game room, and all the TVs, the zip line was a hit with some, and all the swings were good for young and old.

  Although we did not have a boat, we did go to the marina on Sunday to find a beautiful lake that was quiet enough to take a few pictures.

  The master suite was rather large and it needed a chair or two and maybe some luggage racks. But over all we loved the house and hope to return.
