Pool! 2GameRooms! Grill! KingMaster!

The size of the home.

The house needs some work. Could use furniture and lots of love. Hopefully, it gets it.

Good kitchen to cook and plenty of places to sleep. Garage was a nice hangout spot, and the pool area was nice.

Nothing really, it's my first stay using something like this and it was nice.

We liked all the rooms and bathrooms.

There was multiple pieces of furniture that needed repair and the handle on the back door was broken. Some of the games in the game room were in need of repair as well.

This property worked just fine for a family gathering between long-distance relatives and a local family. The location was great--minutes from the local family, 45 minutes from the airport we used (Love Field), and not too far from places to eat and things to do. (The host helpfully sent a list of some suggested activities in the area.) The property offered plenty of space for our group to hang out, play games, etc. The garage game room area was a very popular spot (though a bit cold in the current nearly-winter weather), with foosball or ping pong competitions happening almost any time someone was awake! We didn't use the pool due to the cold weather, but I think it would also have been a favorite place for the group in a warmer month. The currently-closed-off deck off one of the bedrooms will offer additional great hang-out space when the construction on it is complete. The kitchen was a bit tight but we didn't do any significant cooking, so it wasn't a big deal. A 2nd fridge provided extra storage space. We had occasional communication challenges but our host was generally responsive to messages and helpful.

We've shared some concerns with the host (an annoying beep, an uncomfortable bed, a lack of bedroom furniture, etc) and he promises to address them. None of the issues were big enough to be a real problem.
