Very Private 1-Acre, 4-Bedrooms, 3-Fish Records, 21-Floor to Ceiling Windows

Thanks for the awesome review

So glad you enjoyed the wedding and your stay.

The guests damaged 2 interior doors. When they attempted to fix 1, they caused more damage to the paint and left black grease on the area. There was also 1 bar stool chair damaged beyond repair. Aside from damages, the guests broke into 2 locked areas, tried stealing 1 registration tag from the pier, and had issues with trash can management. The longtime property manager and cleaners had never seen the property left so dirty by guests. Naturally, the damage deposit was withheld due to the damaged doors and bar stool. We also have video proof that the guests did a full-stay at the property and did not leave early.

Thanks for the review. Happy that you enjoyed yourself.

Fishing for hours is definitely one of the highlights at this place. I'm so happy that you were able to experience the tranquility and get some great fishing. We hope to host you again soon!

Thanks got the excellent review! We enjoyed hosting you.

We're happy you enjoyed the waterfront views. We hope to host you again.

So glad you were able to use the recently upgraded boat lift. You're right, the water is smooth in Indian Shores. It is protected from the daily South winds coming from the Gulf. I look forward to hosting you again.

Happy you enjoyed our Lake House. We enjoyed hosting you.

So glad you enjoyed yourselves. We hope to host you again soon. The waterfront views are my favorite part of the property.

Thanks for your excellent review. We love sharing the lake house. Glad you enjoyed it.

Terri, thanks for your review. We enjoyed hosting you and hope to host you again next year.

Sounds like you had a great time at the Lake House. So exciting when the kids catch their first fish.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. It sounds like you were busy, golf, swimming, fishing, and family. Can't wait to host you again.

We love hearing when kids catch their first fish at the lake house. Glad you enjoyed you stay. Thanks for the excellent review.

Happy that you enjoyed your stay. That outside room is the perfect place to sleep-in after rustling kiddos.

This tenant was evicted for breaking house rules 3 times. Naturally, their response will be unfavorable. Regarding the inflammatory, racist remarks. If the tenant wanted to comment about the house rules or an amenity we offer, that was fine. To use a racist reference, is unfortunate. It is a throwback to another time and another place that I wish the tenant had thought twice about using. To infer there were racial motives behind their eviction is unfortunate. I support diversity across the spectrum. That is reflected in my rental history. Prior to their stay, this tenant asked me if they could host (2) parties on the property. I responded, “The clubhouse would be best to host parties”, with the detailed response below. "The property description says, ‘no parties’. Unfortunately, if you're having a party, this would NOT be the best venue. You can have the party at the waterfront clubhouse, 7 houses down the street.” Also, before their stay, the tenant asked if an early check-in was possible. I told them a couple of hours early was possible, and then asked for clarification on what time they would be arriving. I tried contacting the tenant (4) times to confirm their early arrival, leaving (2) voicemails and (2) text messages. Since guests were checking out the day before their arrival, we wanted to insure the property was ready in time for their early check-in. The tenant did not respond to me until they had arrived at the property – 10 hours early. This did not allow us to adequately prepare for the tenant’s arrival. I accommodated the first request, in good faith, by allowing a very early check-in. I accommodated the tenant a second time when they asked if they could host a family party with small children. I chose to accommodate this request based on personal experience. In my experience, the average family party lasts 2 - 4 hours and commences well before sundown. We agreed that the tenant could invite 4 additional family’s. During that first party, the tenant hosted 7 additional family’s. That's almost double what we agreed to. The property manager went to the property and spoke to the tenant, reminding them that we agreed to 4 additional families. The tenant apologized for having additional people and assured me that this was the last party. The next day the tenant threw a second party. That is when we chose to act. Officers described the party as having “between 30 and 40 people”. It was clear that the tenant was not interested in abiding by our signed rental polices, nor in keeping to our verbal agreement. It was a very difficult decision to make - one that I haven't had to make before. I chose to evict the tenant after the second violation of the "No Parties" rental agreement rule. The Tenant" chose to have (2) parties in (2) days, along with checking-in (10) hours prior to the established check-in time. I feel that I gave the tenant a reasonable amount of opportunities (3) to abide by the signed rental agreement. Ultimately, they chose not to abide by the house rules.

So happy that you enjoyed yourselves. I hope to host you again next time you're in Houston. Keep us in mind if you want to vacation at a waterfront property.
