Awesome stay

We will be back. Plenty of room for the family. Kitchen equipped. Boat dock was nice to come in and out of the lake. Good A/C. TV’s and fans in every room. Major key in Texas.

We like the house overall and the kids loved their room. The queen beds were kinda hard and the pillows weren’t that great. We did have a great time !

Family river weekend

Nice weekend for our family. Everyone loved the foosball table! We took a water mat and tied to the dock and the older kids loved it! Note to families with little ones. The river was very busy this weekend so there was a lot of wake action. The grandkids aged 8,6 and 5 loved it! It was a little too much for the 3 year olds. One small suggestion would be to provide more plastic plates for eating on the sundeck (and for the little ones inside too).

Great location and layout, but…

The location and access to the water was perfect. Also the layout of the home is perfect for families. But, the smell…. The smell coming from the front of the house is horrible. I had to buy air fresheners just to tolerate it. They do allow pets which is great, but there is a very strong urine and mildew smell coming from the rugs and the rec room. It was so bad we couldn’t even enjoy playing ping pong and had to keep the door shut. If they can get the smell under control, it would be a perfect rental.

Just Awesome

We have stayed in Ski Shores twice now this year. We LOVE it. It really is the perfect place. It is only my husband, myself and our dog. And yes it is quite big for us but it offered everything we need and want. The yard is great, big trees for plenty of shade. One of these days we will use the fire pit right by the water and dock. The boat dock is perfect. We require the boat lift and it worked great. The boat launch is literally 5 houses down. The house has everything you need for any type of cooking/ grilling. The only issue we had was they only had two kitchen towels. I’m sure they will fix that.

This home was perfect for family. The home was located on the Colorado arm of the lake and provided a great dock with a lift that kept our boat from being banged around on a busy holiday weekend. The dock was also a perfect place for the kids to jump from, swim and fish. The giant pecan tree kept the whole yard & dock shaded, so no sunburns. The 5 grandchildren loved the kids room and the other rooms were comfortable enough for adults. For 9 people, we needed the 3 bathrooms too. The kitchen needed some organizing but we eventually found what we needed. We will not hesitate renting this home again.

Nice home on the water. We enjoyed our visit and were able to relax. The only things that needed improvement with this rental: there was no dish soap or paper towels in the kitchen, the house needed a deep clean (cobwebs, cabinet doors and baseboards dusty), no laundry soap provided (check out instructions ask you to start a load of laundry) and the check out time is 10 am. There is a way to get an extended check out time of 2 pm but it is not offered until the day before your trip and costs about 100.

Perfect place. We have stayed here before and will go back again I’m sure. Boat dock is perfect and big shade trees around help a lot in the summer time. Highly recommend.

Roomy clean house, nice view

We enjoyed our time here - the house felt more spacious than photos revealed and it was clean and kids loved the ping pong, pool and foosball tables. Kitchen was decently stocked but could have used a big pot, etc for cooking for large groups. Note the neighbors are super close - they were super friendly but one side was blasting music for a while, changing the atmosphere outside. The water was nice but a bit too busy for kayaking.

Nice and then not

Stayed September 11-16 with family. House is fine, kitchen could use organizing and additions but we got meals done. Beds are firm/ hard and sheets are thin but again do the job. This was our second time to this home and sadly I am unsure if we will return. We love that they allow dogs because one of ours loves the water. Property managed both times by Vacasa and the customer service is now outsourced. We lost hot water completely on Saturday. After texting with customer service, troubleshooting for 30 minutes then calling and insisting on someone local we got maintenance and a new water heater. Locals are wonderful and I was very pleased with them. We lost Saturday evening dealing with this and had icy showers. We asked for compensation for interruption and frustration. Vacasa felt it didn’t warrant it. They never reached out to see if it was resolved and my email request was answered by text saying problem had been fixed with no consideration for the inconvenience.This is true but bad customer service.

Excellent vacation home on the river!

Our family of five enjoyed our stay in this home. There is plenty of space. The beds were comfortable. Our kids enjoyed the ping-pong table and fusball table. We were especially grateful for the jet ski docks to make it easy to get on and off the river! Coffee maker was broken but otherwise Kitchen is well appointed. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend!!

Wonderful property

We had a great stay. Loved the fenced in yard for the pups. Having the water back up the house was a treasure. We loved the elevated deck over the water. Nice, quiet location. We rented a boat for the day and had a great time. The bunk room for the kids was perfect. The five kids that went had fun sleeping together and playing ping pong and pool. Having TVs in every bedroom was nice. Would rent again.
