About this property

The Most Interesting House in Texas! Tropical Cabana Pool and Hot Tub

If you're looking for something unique, you've found it. Where else can you find a home with a palace room, a jail, a mummy secret room, a 175 year old Chinese bed, A psychedelic black-light "mush room", thrones, African cave paintings and giant Moai statues with a tropical pool?
This house has it all. Used in countless music videos in former times, the home has been lovingly transformed by it's international travel blogger owner into beautiful themed rooms unlike anything else on the planet.
The outdoor pool has a 20 foot cabana with lighting, waterfall, grotto, hot tub and river feature. 2 life-sized Moai statues set the tone for this tropical bar.
The common area of the house is a high ceilinged tribute to Italy with each wall making up a separate building of Verona. Murals, life-sized statues, an Amalfi coast themed lemon kitchen, and a throned palace room grab your attention the moment you walk into the house.
The primary bedroom is hidden behind a faux wine cellar, there's 5 life-sized mummies upstairs guarded by a 6 ft. Anubis....did I mention the cow in the backyard?
The house has 5 bedrooms-

1. The Versailles Palace Suite
2. African Safari Lodge
3. Luxury Jail Suite
4. Qing Dynasty Palace Room
5. Kashmir Palace Room

There’s an Italian themed living room, a Greek throne room and and Egyptian mummy game room.

Didn’t want to leave!
This place is so amazing, I really didn’t want to leave. Worth every penny. We had a great time in the pool, the outside area is beautiful and tranquil. The hidden rooms were fun to find, so many surprises around every corner. We had a wonderful time! Thank you Bill and Valentina.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Wiatrak

Host profile image
I'm an entertainer turned travel blogger nearing my goal of visiting every country in the world. Spending at least 50 percent of my time roaming the planet, I decided to turn my home into an international spot that doesn't require a flight. Its themes are based on my favorite destinations around the world and you'll find Europe, Asia, and Africa influences throughout the house. The back yard is based on Easter Island meets Jimmy Buffet. The secret rooms probably stem from doing magic shows for decades.

Why they chose this property

Pearland isn't really known for its international status, but Houston is one of the most diverse cities in the US. What started off as an Italian mural, blossomed into one of the most unique homes in Texas. As a travel blogger, I love to help people experience the world and there's a lot of world treasures scattered throughout the place for those who like to discover such things.

What makes this property unique

There's lots of different scenery in this house, so if I'm feeling like I need a sunny day there's the lemon filled kitchen while listening to the waterfall. Sometimes I like to write in the jail cell or Egyptian room where it's really quiet. The hot tub and cabana is a little tropical oasis in the middle of suburbia. The newly remodeled Far East section of the home has a 175 year old Chinese bed and a Kashmir themed room.
