Thank you for the wonderful review. We enjoyed hosting you and your family. It was easy from the communication to following the house rules. We look forward to hosting your family again in the future.
Teal Paradise is a paradise! This property was spacious, yet cozy, and it was very clean. All the beds were extremely comfy, which is a big deal when you are traveling. The owners also went out of their way to provide many extra touches, which made for a perfect weekend family getaway. It is very quiet and private because the house is situated on a large lot with numerous trees. We loved seeing all the deer that walked through the yard. We also loved how close the house was to the Holly Lake Ranch amenities, and we often walked to them. We will definitely be staying here again!
We had a great time. It’s a wonderful space with room for everyone. It has pretty much everything you need and some stuff you didn’t know you needed. The neighborhood is very quiet so don’t play your music too loud. We had a very nice time here.

Thank you so much for choosing our home for your get away!! We hope you can return, soon!
My 87 yr old mother paid for a girls weekend. Eight total ages 12 months to 87. The house was easy for my mom to get around in. I kept thinking “if i forgot something and Cindy doesn't have one here then i didn’t need it”. Everything was labeled making it easy to find. We fell in love with the welcome book. Every answer was in there. If one of us had a question the response became “ the answer is in the Teal Bible.” Cindy responded promptly to all inquiries before during and after rental. We agreed mom could “Teal us” every year.

Our rating of you as guests
5/5
It was a pleasure to host Melanie and her family. All of the house rules were followed and the communication was easy.
We hope they will return again soon!
Perfect! Everything about the Teal Paradise was perfect, from Cindy’s communication, to the wonderful house and fabulous kitchen, to the jewel of a pool where we spent all our free time. Loved every minute of spending time here with my husband, mother, and 3 kids (ages 4-10) - what a gem hidden away in the trees. Everything was well labeled, and luxurious. Such care was given to items we may need or have forgotten, and Cindy provided very thoughtful and helpful communication before, during, and after our trip. Would love to come visit again!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We do hope you will return in the future!
We have been renting vacation homes for over 12 years and Teal Paradise is the best one yet! The absolute cleanest and well stocked home with the best pots and pans and every kitchen utensil you could possible need. We started traveling with our our supplies due to some places not even having wash cloths. In Teal Paradise we could have accidentally left everything at home including personal hygiene products and been perfectly fine. Our host thought of everything anyone could possibly need and more! Great communication without being overbearing and intrusive. Definitely a place worth staying at again! Thank you Cindy for being such a great rental owner! We shall rent Teal Paradise again in the future!! 💙
