Thank you so much for your stay and nice review. Welcome back when you come to visit town next time!
The house was in the perfect location for easy access to all our activities for the weekend. Kitchen was well stocked and the kids loved the big backyard!
Overall a great stay! Solid communication from the host, check-in/check-out procedures were smooth/simple, labels on drawers/cabinets were very helpful, and sufficient amenities to cover all primary needs. Would love to stay here again next time we're in Houston!

Our family of 5 stayed here in March 2024. The property owner had great communication and was very accommodating. The inside of the home appeared to be recently remodeled and was very clean. The location was close to the airport and all of the attractions we slanted to see (space center, Kemah boardwalk, Galveston, zoo, etc). Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Thank you and your family for stayed with us and like our place. Appreciate that you kept place clean and in good condition. Would welcome you come back again when you are in town.
My family enjoyed our month-long stay as the property was conveniently located near many places we wanted to visit. Additionally, the house was clean and well-equipped with most of the things we needed for our stay. The owner was readily available and very friendly. I highly recommend this property.
For the short while I was there it was good, with the exception of the shower rod scare and the A/C struggling to blow everything was lovely.

Thank you for your stay. Not sure about what happened to shower rod, did it fell off? It is not screw fixed on wall. Not suppose to resist strength. I will let Plummer to check on it. For AC, it is a new unit, I will let technician to check why it is struggling to blow? Thank you for your comment. We will do better to win your 5 star for your next stay.
Very quiet neighborhood. Close to NASA- 12 min away, the mall and grocery shopping- 7 minutes, Kemah, and close to hobby airport. Easy access. Very nicely remodeled and updated. We only stay in places with a king bed and this one had it. We had to cook for Thanksgiving and this place had pots.

Heather and her family are really nice and kind people. It was easy to communicate, they were respectful to the space. I would definitely recommend to all Vrbo hosts
We had a clean and comfy stay in this property. Everything we needed was in there (coffee, cutlery, towels, etc). The place was clean and the beds are soft, equipped with nice linens and pillows. The host was very responsive. We had an easy check-in and check-out. Few minutes drive to NASA Johnson Space Centre. Easy drive from IAH airport using freeways and tollways. Costco and several restaurants and shops in the area. Quiet and safe neighborhood. It was a lovely stay! I’d recommend this property!
The location was very convenient and a quick drive to the Houston Space Center. The home was updated, nicely decorated, and comfortable for our family. The hosts were very helpful and friendly! Upon arriving, we didn't know we were supposed to check the VRBO app again for an updated code, but we were able to speak directly to the host. Our only concern was that the cleaning agents used on the floors left a very strong sweet, floral smell, almost as if it was covering up something else, especially in the Master Bedroom. That being said, we would recommend this home to others.

Thank you for your stay and your nice comments on the house. Regarding cleaning agents, I talked with cleaner and they changed cleaning method and no any smell with it now. Hope we can host you again and win your 5 star for your next stay. Thank you
I thought quite a bit about leaving this review, and I landed on '"have to". Our stay wasn't bad but the price did not match what we got.The property is in an older neighborhood but not a bad one. The house is neat and organized, but I would give the overall cleanliness a 7/10. The house was pretty old and dated. The floors we're dirty my kids feet were dirty after only walking around for a little bit. A cockroach also came out of the couch when I was sitting on it the first night we got there. That was the only sighting. This was not from keeping the door open or something like that since we immediately closed the door each time because of the mosquitos everywhere.The beds and bedding were clean, the bathrooms were also mostly clean. 9/10 there.I think it being a little more clean would definitely help and maybe some updated furniture in the living room would also help. Checking in and out were very easy and the host was very professional and polite.I probably wouldn't stay here again, at 350 dollars per night for a family of 5 I would probably stay elsewhere. If I was staying alone or as a couple it would probably be okay.
