Richard & Pat Lawson - Dallas, Texas
"Victoria, Our family had a fantastic time visiting the B/CS area this summer. It was so much nicer being in a home instead of a hotel. It sure made getting our jet lag better. Our 3 girls loved looking at everything in the house and playing outside. Also, we certainly had a memorable stay at Casita de Cruzita."
The Franklin Family - Doha, Qatar

"Victoria, What an awesome home! I thank you so much for allowing me to stay here. I have not been so relaxed in years. May God bless this house and your family always. Thank you for sharing with all of us who travel this way. My girlfriends will contact you about the next fun weekend!!!"
Regina Powe - Plano, Texas

"Dear Victoria, I enjoyed my stay in your beautiful house! Because your home is near campus, I could easily attend my daughter's basketball game. While not watching a game, I was here writing. Your home is a perfect writer's retreat."
Warm is regard,
V. Bugni - Las Vegas, Nevada
"Victoria, Wish you could have heard the expressions of my kids..."WOW"...AWESOME!!...We loved your home! I love the picture of your mom and the story of your family. When my daughter-in-law planned this weekend, I told my friend, Ann about it...to come find out she's one of your high school friend--Ann Kirby "my neighbor". We surprised my son, Peter for his birthday and are having a wonderful time."

We have shared accommodations in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, and Colorado. Casita de Cruzita is one of our favorites. The spacious living, inviting, fully equipped home with it's close proximity to Kyle Field provides everything you need for a wonderful weekend. Everything that is except for a Longhorn victory. Thank you for sharing your home with our families and friends. We look forward to returning soon."

Patti & Al Brooks & family - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

We had a great time cooking out with friends and were able to renew friendship with old friends in a much more homey atmosphere than any hotel could offer. What a relaxing retreat! The home is beautifully decorated and so equipped; nothing we needed that you hadn't thought of! Everything was perfect! We hope that we have many more opportunities to make Casita de Cruzita our home away from home!"

"I am going to be your biggest supporter, this house is beautiful."
Mr. Lupe Fraga, Texas A&M University Board of Regents

"This home is truly spectacular! A place of solitude or place of fun and entertainment. The side patio porch is great for family dialogue, quiet reading or just
sipping a glass of wine and reflecting. The living areas give fullness of life, knowing that
many celebrations and happy memories are celebrated here. Nothing more exciting than
going to an Aggie game (having a really cool place to stay, a 5-minute walk to Kyle Field),
family celebrations of the graduation of another Aggie, or coming back to reunite with
Ole' Army. Now, that we are parents of two young girls, we get to pass the legacy to them.
Thanks, mom for making this dream a reality and impacting all of the families who get to experience this real treasure in Aggieland."Gig' em,
Andy ('93) and Tina Valadez ('94)Son and Daughter-in-law Houston, Texas

"Victoria, you have done a beautiful job of creating a warm, welcoming home
for out-of-towners. All the extra touches in your home are delightful. We were so conveniently located to everything at Texas A&M, we walked to all our activities. Casita de Cruzita is a refreshing change to staying in hotels. We will let our friends know all about it. Thank you for being so easy to work with and making our visit to Parent’s Weekend so easy and enjoyable."
The Webbers – Boerne, Texas

"I absolutely agree! I enjoyed the stay & looking thru the house--you have the touch!" Jan Worrell – Boerne, Texas

"Everything was wonderful! Many thanks & blessings for your 'new home'."
The Fortinberrys – Boerne, Texas

Mary Anne Lowry – Edmond, Oklahoma

The Simeks - La Grange, Texas

I will admit that you never know what a house really looks like when you see it online for a vacation rental. IT WAS FABULOUS!!! It was everything we could have asked for and more. You should be proud of your work on the house and I know your mom would be too."
Stacy & Glenn Puddy - Dallas, Texas

"Victoria! Just wanted to tell you how wonderful the celebration went this weekend. The house could not have been any more perfect! I passed out several brochures........I really think you will get a few phone calls regarding future rentals. Everyone loved your home! It was absolutely perfect for us......we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We will still be attending football games this fall so we will be giving you a call for future rentals."
Sherry and Leo Mencacci & Shelly ('07) - Galveston, Texas

"What a great place! Casita de Cruzita was perfect for the week. It is so roomy with such great decor that it makes you feel so at home. It is centrally located in the middle of College Station, and so easy to find. Everyone that visited us commented on how wonderful it was. If anyone you know has traveled with a softball team will tell you how costly it is and how you hate spending so much time in a hotel. A standard hotel cost us about $700.00 per week per couple this cost us right at $500.00 for the week. We were in College Station for 18U Nationals which is the last tournament of the year for fastpitch softball by the time you get this far you are so tired and just want to go home. Renting Casita de Cruzita was so wonderful that we did not want to leave when it was over. We cooked every night and did not have to eat fastfood and spend the extra money on restaurants. On the way back home, we all were trying to find what weekend we would have available to go back. What a wonderful experience we have found a new way to travel to see softball. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful place with us."
Mary DuBois, Coach of the Mystixx - Houston, Texas
