Quite neighborhood and close to many of the birding locations that our group visited.

The pool is clean. House was perfect for large groups or family get together. Interior is clean as the eye can see but one of the kids got cut by a broken glass embedded in the carpet on day 1. Perfect location, close to shopping malls, grocery and about 3 miles away from McAllen airport. The host is very responsive with communication.

My intuition told me to switch this reservation from the start and I should have listened. Not long after making the reservation, I was contacted that the listing was being extended by the existing renters so I was moved to another location at the Host’s expense. I then forwarded this to all that were staying there and it was a complete cluster trying to get this straightened out but eventually did. The biggest issue I had was that I had to “Ask” daily to have them lower the thermostat from 78 to 70. A majority of the people staying with us were from Washington state and 78 is Very hot for them. As a paying customer, I should not have to ask for the temperature to get lowered. The Host stated that a previous renter lowered it down to 60 degrees and created a high electricity bill. That is not something your other renters should have to deal with, raise your rent to offset that usage. The last item is a Safety issue, my daughter was showering my grandson and when someone else started using the other shower the water got very hot and the water valve is Very hard to adjust that he got burnt. I checked the water temperature with my hand and it was Very hot, like the have the temperature setting on the water heater set at it’s highest setting since they have three total showers in the rental and the water heater is under sized. I will never rent from this host’s rentals ever again!
