90th Birthday Celebration

We found the booking, check-in, and check-out procedures so easy. The house was very clean with many extras. The location was quiet and yet close to much shopping as well as many restaurants and attractions. We will be looking at booking this same property in the future.

Our stay was practically perfect, but the pool and outdoor area (which we were the most excited about) were a little underwhelming. The pool was very cloudy and a light green color. There are many overgrown weeds next to the pool as well. The filter for the pool seemed to be broken, but luckily the robot vacuum worked. All in all I would recommend staying here but I don’t think that I would return.

Family weekend

The house fit our needs well. Friends and family in town for a wrestling tournament and the house worked great for all to meet up at and enjoy spending time together. Nice neighborhood. Large back yard and hot tub. Look forward to coming back in the summer to the same location.

Beautiful home

This is a beautiful and spacious home in Waterloo. It was a perfect place to stay for everyone in my group. They even had a highchair available for our little one, which was a wonderful suprise. The yard is very spacious and the deck was beautiful. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. We would live to rent again on our next trip out!

Quiet Family Trip

Our overall experience at the Oasis was good, and I would come back if we visit Waterloo again. The location is pleasant, easy to get to attractions, and the house itself was as described. This is not going to be a luxurious property, and I think that is fine at the price point. Memorable parts of the home are the pool, deck, and many bedrooms that provide privacy during the stay. The house was clean, and had a reasonably well maintained interior. My only watch outs on the property: 1) There were missing remotes and remotes that didn't function with the TV they were near. In theory each bedroom had a Roku, but in practice it didn't work. Ideally there would be a more cohesive setup with the network. 2) The pool is definitely adequate, but the exterior is missing shade off the back. I think there is an opportunity for a future pergola or large retractable awning to help with sun exposure. Very good trip, and a fine place to stay. I think it's a great location if you intend to use the nearby casino, waterpark, and theme park.

Great place/location

The house was perfect for what we needed, very clean and just as described. It was a rainy weekend so we didn’t get to swim in the pool but we did enjoy the hot tub. Nice clean quiet neighborhood. Would recommend!
