Perfect Holiday Getaway
We were looking for a place large enough to keep our family entertained while meeting up with old acquaintances and family in the Houston area. The Galveston Bay retreat offered just that. While our stay was to chilly to utilize the pool, the young adults had plenty to do in the added game room. The kitchen was large enough to create a small Thanksgiving feast, and the house was plenty big enough to lounge about the rest of the day. Location was close to Kemah Boardwalk, grocery stores, and other necessities. Upon arrival we found some bonus snacks and drinks to make us feel welcome. Check in was easy, and we were even offered an early check in! The property was clean, secured, and well maintained for the area. You can tell the owners care. We make it back to the Houston area about every 10 years, so hopefully this gem is still around. We would book again.

Anniversary and Father's Day Getaway
The perfect getaway from the city. The outdoor area including the pool, palapa and shaded seating were so amazing. And the facilities inside were clean and comfortable...especially the gourmet kitchen. I highly recommend this property.

Enjoyed our stay
We were looking for a place that had everything we needed without having to leave, and this house accomplished that. We spent most of our days in the pool/outdoor area, the kids loved the pool table and gaming table in the palapa. It's a neat house with lots of room and we were very happy with our time.

Great place to stay!
We loved our stay! The pool was perfect & property was very nice, our group of 8 has plenty of room & everything we needed. Lea was very helpful & responsive. The neighborhood is a little run down in areas, but was quiet & we had no issues at all. We never felt uncomfortable or concerned. Would stay here again.
