Excellent location and property!

The home was excellent! Just as described, and all listed amenities were included. House a/c couldn’t be found, but window a/c units were more than helpful in keeping the house at everyone’s desired temperature. The property is centrally located and close to Downtown McAllen that it made getting around very easy! Definitely will stay again sometime!

Friends on Dove Hunt

The communication with the property manager was great. The home is outdated and in need of general maintenance. The home was huge and suited the 10 men that stayed there. Fortunately, a few men brought cots as the beds were too small to sleep two men comfortably. The home worked for us. However, the lack of general maintenance on the property could lead to unexpected problems on your visit.

Spacious but dated

The house is very spacious and is listed as an English Tudor home however, the house needs some maintenance.

Falling apart

Our extended family of nine were in McAllen for a funeral. When we arrive the house was 87 degrees. We turned on the ac while looking around. It never did cool down. There are broken light fixtures, large stains all over the carpet, walls, and linoleum . Outlets were broken, the dishwasher and washing machine were completely rusted. The refrigerator was falling apart and smelled rotten. The bathrooms were very bad. Again just falling apart. Originally the host was in communication with us but when I presented the issues to all communication stopped. We were there under extremely trying times. We needed a place of refuge not a place of disrepair. I urge anyone considering this property to go elsewhere. The pictures are completely inaccurate. I hope this review will help other people avoid the disappointment.

Roomy

Stayed here with members of my family aged from 40 to over 80 years old. Was a great place to gather and visit. Some things are dated and worn but overall a good place for us. There is a step down into living area and master room which could be tricky for anyone with mobility issues. A lot of the beds are small but all were comfortable. Felt safe for the entire stay.

The house was very dirty and hadmultiple issues

While the house was very spacious it was very dirty especially in the kitchen. We had to clean it. We were unable to get the owner to come and address issues. She still has not responded to my email. Very disappointed with her.

Good for larger groups

Sylvia is a good host and screens her guests which I understand and appreciate. The home, though dated, works well for a group of 5-8 who like privacy or a larger group with more sharing of space. The master bedroom actually has two bathrooms attached to it so if all bedrooms are full, a bathroom upstairs will be shared. Ask Sylvia to turn the AC on for you prior to arrival because the home is large and in the Texas heat it takes a while to cool it down. The fridge does not have an ice maker. Our group were all older folks who enjoyed their stay which was affordable and pleasant. Being able to park in the garage or behind gate is super convenient. It was cleaned prior to our arrival but the cleaner used on the tile floor left it tacky under shoes. No a big deal but noticed. The home is from the early ‘80s and is designed as such. This is not a luxury stay and that should not be expected at this very affordable price however, it is good for larger groups and folks who don't require upscale lodgings. We were happy and would book it again.

Trip to South Padre

Late notice booking and affordable price. The house seems to be very traditional, there are several imperfections throughout the house but it made a great place for a large group of people.
