Hill Country Cabo

My family spent the week of Thanksgiving at this beautiful house and the said it reminded them of a house we rented in Cabo San Lucas. The house is outstanding and is close enough to Fredericksburg to be easily accessible by car but far enough away from the fray! The owners were very responsive and everything was as advertised or better! We plan to return soon.

I gave this a 5 bc the property itself was so beautiful, but there were some maintenance issues

The property management communication was next level awesome. We checked in late and they pro actively texted us entry codes/address. They were immediately responsive to issues. However, it seemed like the property had been empty or unused for some time. The master bath plumbing was backing up/shower wouldn’t drain/ toilet bubbling. WiFi went out half way through stay and the pool heater was broken and could not be repaired prior to our arrival. Full disclosure we booked on Monday and were arriving Friday, but I confirmed on Monday that the pool could be heated within the cancellation window bc we have little kids that love to swim. It would have been a deal breaker, but we didn’t find out until Thursday that we wouldn’t have a heated pool or hot tub. This property does not seem to have been built to be a rental property. It has massive walk in closets, multiple pantries and dining areas and a great outdoor living area on a lot of property. Very pretty and would be a great holiday venue. They just have some maintenance things to work out. Any property that sits w a septic system would be the same. We will return as it was such a cool property w a very impressive master wing, outdoor fireplace and tons of yard.

Neglected Property

The house is beautiful, but is completely neglected and poorly maintained. The entire property was dirty. Outside patio furniture cushions and pillows were thrown on the ground and not even put on the chairs. Pool floats were thrown on the side and not even put inside a container to be kept clean. Propane tank was completely out and once the property manager showed up the hot tub still did not work properly. The outdoor propane heaters were completely empty. The outdoor fireplace was dirty from previous people who stayed. The shower upstairs would not turn on, so zero running water. The tv in the loft area did not work. One of the primary bedrooms downstairs, the bathroom was dirty with bar of soap left from previous people who stayed. The other primary bedroom had a gross and weird stain on the bed pillow. Lights in the house were going out, flickering off and on. Dead flies and bugs on the counter as you walk in. Cookie and chocolate crumbs on the sofa that needed to be cleaned off. The amount of money we paid to stay was ridiculous and we have not been compensated, which I expect half of what we paid. Absolutely terrible property management, she went out once and didn’t check the problems after we reached out 3 times and only filled the bulk propane tank that heats the pool, grilling utensils dirty and left outside, house code didn’t work. And there is a mouse running around the house. Terrible experience and such a shame to leave a property in that condition.
