Where to start, smile.
From start to finish, our stay was just exactly what I'd hoped. Hostess Judy's communication is impeccable. She texted several times prior to our arrival and we spoke by phone, too! I instantly knew the right decision about our first VRBO experience was affirmed. In fact, her warm, welcoming, big love, and vivacious energy made me feel like she was already family. I felt informed, educated, and made to feel like the most important customer on her agenda.
We arrived just as the big storm hit. Judy welcomed us in her golf cart with a beautiful smile and hugs - and an umbrella. She thinks of everything!! We scurried into the most charming little house, perfectly appointed with beautiful lighting and an ambiance to say, "We're so glad you are here." We scooted into her golf cart for a tour of the property and she made it oodles of fun for the kiddos.
She hung a Happy Birthday banner for my daughter and even had cheesecake with strawberry swirls and candles. Oh my goodness, my heart smiled in a grand way.
We settled in and I marveled at everything I saw. The place was cozy, with a wonderful clean aroma, and I could easily surmise the love that went into preparing for our arrival.
The kiddos loved the bunk beds and of course, my bed felt as though I was sleeping on a cloud. The kiddos swam and kayaked and frolicked around without a care in the world. The kayaks were plentiful and there was #KayakChoice - who knew, smile. The pool table was used a whole lot, games on the shelves were played, and a huge bonfire was made the next evening - perfect for smores.
Fun facts: It's only eight (8) miles from Kingsland, where the local HEB is, and at sunset, you must go to the High Point, up the road to take in the majestic colors. There's an excellent chicken spot - Krispy Krunchy Chicken - at the Valero store in Kingsland. It's a must-try plus the locals love it!!!
Our Great Pyrenees was happy soaking in the cool night breeze and birds bathed in the bird baths. The night lighting made it even more picturesque. After our two-night stay, we left with smiling hearts, vowing to return for another special occasion.
I can on and on and on (smile) but hopefully, this gives the next prospective guest a flavor of our experience. My goal was to create lifelong memories and I do believe it was a resounding success. Special thanks to Judy, the Hostess with the Mostess - charm, warmth, hospitality, and abundant Texas love.
