Hi Laura,
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. When you chose one of our properties, I’m confident it was because you noticed our excellent reviews.
Our prime location offers easy access to the golf course, local restaurants, public boat ramps, and beach clubs.
Sam Rayburn truly stands out for its variety of entertainment and sporting activities.
Thank you again, and I hope to welcome you back soon.
Thank you for rating your stay and we are happy you enjoyed your stay.
We manage the other two properties and as you could see, they shared a large backyard, lots of space to park and each bedroom with private bathrooms.
All three properties accommodation are the same and the only difference is the size of the house.
Come back soon
Mariela
Great property and location to the boat ramp. Nice outside area to walk dogs. The host was very responsive to any questions I had. Also she was very helpful in coordinating me to come back and get an important piece to my daughter’s medical equipment that I forgot to pack.

Hi,
Thank you for your review, and I’m glad you were able to pick up the charger.
We manage all three properties, and each one has its own special story. Guests especially appreciate the ample parking for boats and trucks, as well as having a full bathroom in every bedroom.
I’m happy to hear you live nearby, and we would love to host you again soon.
Thank you,
Mariela
Hello Joseph,
Thank you so much for your review and I am glad you enjoyed your stay.
I forgot if you went for either fishing or golf but I am sure our location worked well for either sport.
All three of our properties have a lot of parking for boats and trucks.
Three bedrooms with private bathroom is also a plus.
I hope we host you back soon.
When possible, we love to give free upgrades to a larger house.
Have a great rest of your week

The host is unbelievably welcoming, she went out of her way to change our rental, in fact upgrade it all because of one toilet that wasn’t working. We are a bunch of guys that truly cared but she went above and beyond to make sure we got this best stay possible! If yall are anglers in the area looking for a great stay this is the place!!

I appreciate you staying in one of our beautiful houses, Rayburn.
I hope you found the location convenient.
As I said to you before, these properties are very special, and past guests love the story behind them, which involves my father being a professional fisherman.
Thank you for great communication and hope to host you back at any our Villas in Sam Rayburn .

Hello Ernesto
Thank you for leaving the house super clean and also to stay in one of our villas.
You are Welcome to Villas Sam Rayburn, anytime!
Sam Rayburn is always the best!!
Hasta pronto
I really liked the communication throughout the whole process. My wife normally books everything, so this was my first booking and stay. I planned a fishing trip with the guys bringing a boat along. So parking was also critical. Plenty of parking if that's a concern. I couldn't get over how easy the whole process was. I have know doubt it also was the host made it so. Really everything was beyond expectations.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your first booking experience was smooth and exceeded your expectations. It’s great to know the communication and parking made things easy for your fishing trip. You were a fantastic guest, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime! Thank you for highlighting this! Having all three properties in the same location truly allows guests to enjoy plenty of parking and make the most of the spacious backyard. We're glad you appreciated these features and hope they added to your overall experience.
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The Villa was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. Mariela is exceptional! She was prompt and made our stay effortless. We will be back.

Hello Christopher,
I appreciate your review and comment, so future guests will know I do my best to ensure every guest has a pleasant time.
My father was a professional fisherman in the US, and in his free time, he built homes.
Each of our properties has something special, like Villa 1, which has a 55-foot-long covered garage and plenty of space to park more cars and boats in the back of the house.
I am glad that you and your wife enjoyed a nice getaway during the week with our special weekday rates.
Thank you for the excellent communication and for leaving the house clean.
I hope to host you back soon.

Hello Mr. Jackson,
Thank you very much for your feedback. I appreciate you letting us know about your experience.
Regarding the hot water, we checked all three bathrooms and found the water heaters are working well. It turns out the temperature valve had been set to low, which caused the delay in getting hot water. Fortunately, each house is equipped with two water heaters, so we were able to quickly resolve the issue.
As for the insect you mentioned, we treat each house every two months to keep them pest-free. In our nine years of hosting, this has been a very rare occurrence, as you may have seen from our reviews. Still, I apologize for any inconvenience this caused.
I’m glad we were able to offer you a complimentary night to make up for the hot water issue. Thank you again for staying with us, and I hope to welcome you back in the future!
We loved the house. Location was so close to everything. And, property manager, was awesome. Tons of communication. I would highly recommend this place! Loved it

Hello Melanie,
Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay and you are welcome any time.
I appreciate great communication as well.
Dish service in the LR has been restored but I am glad the TV in the MB was working.
Now you know our location and seen our properties so you can choose any of the three next time. When available Villa 1, I like to upgrade my guests. AS you saw, we have plenty of parking for many boats and trucks and also our shared backyard makes it a great place to enjoy it.
Have a great rest of your summer

It was a pleasure meeting you. It's always lovely to talk to guests about my properties, how they were built, and who built them! My father was a very talented person! I wish you a lot of success in your business and hope to host you back soon. Now that you have seen all three villas you can choose where to stay.
Take care.

Thank you for staying in one of our beautiful villas.
I approve of great communication and we would love to host you back anytime
Love the fact that Mariela has four properties close together. My family and I rented two of her villas and enjoyed hanging out at night in the yard and barbecuing. Her properties are nice and clean and Mariela is a great host!
Needed a place with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms clos to Sam Rayburn Lake. It was just right!

Hi Jason,
Thank you so much for your review and glad we were able to upgrade you to a larger villa. Thank you for replying always fast and I hope to host you again soon. Please be safe and hope to meet you next time
Hi Rory,
Hope you are doing well. It was a pleasure meeting you, your son and the rest of your fishermen friends. The carport is finished and ready for your next visit. But now that you have seen the rest of the properties, feel free to choose any! Thank you for taking the time to review our place and hope to host you real soon. Good luck on your fishing tournaments and stay well.
We booked this for my son’s SETX bass fishing tournament. My husband, son, and our boat captain each had their own room and bathroom which was great coming off the water. The host checked in on us throughout our stay and made everything so smooth and easy. She really went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. She even shared pictures of her dad’s fishing championships back in the day which my son thought was really cool. We will be back for the next tournament for sure.

Hello Stephanie,
I love hearing when students get into a sport, and fishing offers so many benefits: peace, strategic thinking, bravery, meaningful relationships, personal goals, and much more.
Thank you for your review and thoughtful comments. We have been in the hospitality business for many years, and we continue to learn and improve with each experience to make our homes feel like your homes.
When my father built these homes, he designed them specifically so fishermen could have what he always needed: large garages, plenty of outdoor outlets, private bathrooms for each bedroom, and comfortable beds.
Have a wonderful holiday season, and you are welcome back anytime.
Please wish your son all the best from me, and I hope he has a successful "career" in fishing.

Hello George and Alicia,
It was a pleasure meeting you and I appreciate your review.
I will definitely be working to update the pictures. Now that you need to come back to pick up your tubing, please look at the other 2 properties that we have next to the one that you stayed at. They all have 3BR and 3.5 BA but with covered garage.
I also appreciate that you guys left the house very clean but remember, you have paid for cleaning fees! LOL.
Take care
Mariela
