Lights didn’t work in key areas. Contacted property management (Coastal bend) and lights were not addressed by maintenance nor Coastal bend.
Animal feces all over back upstairs steps outside. Dryer vent filter hadn’t been cleaned in some time.
Photos of property were a bit misleading. Could be ultra cute as property has good bones but not all areas can be accessed due to poor maintenance and property management. Really a disappointment.

This was an amazing place to stay. Loved that we could fish off the dock. Was such a beautiful house. The light switches were a little confusing but we couldn’t have been happier with this beautiful home. Thank you for letting us enjoy it.

I had no expectations coming to this house but was pleasantly surprised. Very spacious and comfortable, everything was perfect when we arrived. Fishing off the pier is was fantastic. They weren’t biting as much as we wanted but that’s secondary to spending time with friends. Only issue we had was when the power went out. Tried to get a hold of someone unfortunately unsuccessfully. Luckily the outage only lasted a short while.

The property was good. Older home and could use some modernization like the bathrooms, the lighting around the house is hard to find out which switch is which and the back pation lights did not work or we never found the switches. I believe that some remodeling to address some of the many steps or level changes in order to accomodate the older traveler. Over all I believe it was a great stay but it needs to be somehow made more comfortable. There are no comfortable seating other that the wicker furniture. A regular sofa and maybe a couple of comfortable chairs would be nice. Thank you for the accommodations. Needs more lighting in the back patio and the carport area.

We surely enjoyed our stay, the lay out of the house is great, location perfect.
We recommend that the landlord assures all works at the house, we arrived and the internet never worked, my college daughter was unable to do some work, the outside lights did not worked so was difficult to cook outside in the dark.
Still we had a great time and were able to enjoy our stay despite the struggles with the internet and maintenance issues at the house.

The home is very tied with the owners of the home. It is set in a beautiful shoreline area, great for fishing. Plenty of room and a well supplied kitchen with plates, pots, and pans. The place needs a few maintenance fixes. The pier is in poor shape. There are obvious electrical issues with some of them being outside. Finally the home has countless photos hung on the walls of various rooms. Some are very faded and come off a bit creepy. Knowing that this is someone’s home, you expect pics, but this is a bit over the top. Overall a very enjoyable stay, creating a wonderful memory.

We had a wonderful, fun and hassle free weekend staying at the Allen House for 2 nights. The place was clean, equipped with all the needed supplies for our stay from the bathroom to the kitchen needs. Lots of towels, even body wash were included, and trash bags provided! Our group loved to cook and it was just a home away from home. The private pier provided us with ample fishing fun, we got perch, croakers red fish, sheepshead,!! We were able to take an early morning walk, photos in the marina and just enjoyed the 2 days. Thank you to Lauren and her group for allowing us to extend our check out time for another two hours. This place is highly ,highly recommended!

Older home right on water. Unfortunately the home needed some maintenance. Upon arrival we quickly found roaches crawling all over kitchen counter tops. Later we noticed 2 of the bathroom doors would not close all the way or lock. Assuming due to shifting of home. The pier pictured is about half the length as appears to be as advertised. My guess the other half was damaged to hurricane which occured a few years ago. Once sun went down the temperatures dropped and we soon noticed the heat in downstairs did not work at all. After going to bed we were awoken to what sounded like a racoon running back and forth all night in the attic. While laying in bed my daughter had a roach crawl across her arm. We notified owners the next morning who attempted to get us help but the exterminator and AC repairman could not arrive until 2 days later. Exterminator was not able to assist with people in home and did not have proper chemicals at time of arrival. AC repairman said unit was beyond repair. Stated a new unit was needed and had to be ordered. Owner was great responding first day but never heard from them again even after asking for permission to use fireplace to keep warm. We ended up purchasing a portable heater for our elderly parents who could not walk stairs to upper floor where there was heat. I think it was an unfortunate number of events at one time. We made the best of our vacation. Owners did compensate for 1 night stay. Had we not had all the issues I would probably give great reviews primarily to size of home and the gorgeous views. Unfortunately due to the circumstances and until repairs and maintenance are done the property is not adequate for rental. I do hope they can do the necessary repairs. It is definitely a place I would try again under different circumstances.

The property is easy to find and in a great location for fishing and shopping. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of room for 10 adults and 2 teens. The back patio facing the bay was wonderful and where we spent most of our time. This is an older house with a weathered pier, but is priced well for the location and size. The pier is probably not appropriate for smaller children as one board was missing and the handrailing is only on one side, but we still managed to get lots of use out of it. The photos and history of the house added a special touch to our trip. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. Plenty of towels were available. I would gladly stay here again in the future.

We had a blast! The kids enjoyed fishing on the pier, the nice breeze in the covered back porch was a delight. Kitchen was ample and plenty of beds and bathrooms to acommodate everyone. The bedroom adjacent to the game room was a bit warm, so a windowbunit would be better there, but the rest of the house was easy to cool down otherwise. Would definately stay there again!

Eric S. Stay with Family
It has always been a dream for our family to be able to stay, together, at The Allen House for as long as we can remember.
Our dream finally came true this past weekend.
And...it was INCREDIBLE.
Cousins, Aunts and Uncles were all thrilled to pieces with everything about this wonderful home.
Fishing was great on the pier.
Caught fish.
We look forward to staying here again.
Best Wishes, Eric

The Perfect Place and then some!
We had such an awesome time at the Allen House. It was everything we needed and then some. The kids had so much fun on the pier and playing in the water at the back of the house. We enjoyed just sitting on the screened in porch or in the house looking out all those beautiful windows and watching the grandkids. The place was perfect for my family and I am looking forward to going back again next summer. I would highly recommend it for all ages.

Perfect Getaway
We just spent a long weekend at the Allen House and had a great time. The house is large enough to accommodate the recommended visitors without feeling cramped. Really there are 5 bedrooms and 5 baths. The site was clean and well maintained but not so much that you were afraid to touch anything. The kitchen is well appointed with plenty of cookware and dishes to feed your group. I would recommend this house to anyone who is looking for a quiet getaway. You have your own private fishing pier however the weather wasn't great for us, so we didn't catch much.
