Very pet friendly, love that there were things to accommodate pet if we forgot anythingHouse was well kept up with and very clean Pool was clean and enjoyable for kids and us adults
Our party of 10 had a great stay. Everything was as described, and the pool was a welcome relief after spending time out in the Corpus heat and humidity!
Very nice spacious house was just perfect for my family kids loved the pool nice neighbor hood really close to the beach recommended to other people that are looking for a vacation in Corpus Christi
The house is cozy/comfy - very clean inside (which is a huge priority for me), stocked well and it was great having the pool to ourselves! I would definitely recommend staying here if you have a small group of family and friends that want to enjoy some quality time together. The check in process was extremely easy and the host was readily available if we needed anything. Overall it was a great experience!
The only thing is the cleaning when you are on vacation the least you want to worry about is cleaning and also the things you should use or shouldn't

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Overall impression is poor. The online description did not reflect the current condition of the property.The yard is not neatly manicured as portrayed in the photos. There were dead bushes in the front and the back yard was not recently mowed, nor evidence of weedeater trimming. Entire back yard was a sticker patch.Outdoor patio furniture was dirty. The size of the yard was also misrepresented. It was small and the pool had a gate around it making it difficult to enjoy as a family. I tried to use the backyard water hose to wash off the patio and furniture, but could not get the water to turn on.The inside of the house appeared clean initially, but once i took off my shoes, it was apparent the floor was dirty and had not been mopped.The second bathroom sink had a trickle of water. The water valves under the sink were frozen and could not be adjusted.BedroomsBedroom 2 & 3 were ok. The Master bedroom looked nice, but my daughter who stayed in this room had bites on her arm after night 1 and another bite after the second night. We searched the bed and found a live bed bug. We videoed it crawling on the night stand and notified VBRO by email an hour later after checking out. We also checked under the bedding and found the mattress was wrapped in plastic. Indicating they knew there was a problem.I sent photos supporting these comments lastnight and requested the rental managers or owners contact me. It has been 24 hours and no one has reached out.Do not rent!

Response from VrboOwner on 3 August 2025
We’re sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with your stay, though we strongly disagree with several of your claims.
This property is serviced by a licensed pest control company every two months, and we take pest-related concerns very seriously. Following your message after checkout, we immediately had the home professionally inspected. The result: no evidence of bed bugs or any infestation. The photo you submitted was blurry, showed a large white insect, and was clearly not a bed bug. It more likely originated from one of your dogs, which were found to have been sleeping in the beds, as documented by our housekeeping team—despite this being a violation of our house rules.
You mentioned your daughter was bitten after the first night, yet remained in the property for the full duration of your stay. No concerns were reported during that time. Instead, we received your first message after checkout, accompanied by a demand for a full refund and a warning that you would leave a negative review if one was not granted.
All mattresses at our properties are fitted with AllerEase encasements and topped with additional mattress protectors. These are used to protect against allergens and to maintain cleanliness—especially important when guests disregard posted policies about pets on furniture.
The pool safety gate is shown in our listing photos and complies with local code to protect children. Our yard and outdoor areas are maintained regularly, the yard is green and trimmed in the videos of your dogs romping through the yard. The hose and plumbing were both tested before and after your stay and found to be fully functional.
We welcome constructive feedback, but we will correct the record when reviews contain inaccurate, exaggerated, or retaliatory claims—especially those tied to refund demands. We remain committed to providing safe, clean, and enjoyable experiences for all our guests and stand behind the professionalism of our team and the accuracy of our listings.
