About the host

Hosted by Kristine Gregory

Host profile image
Hi! I’m Kristine — wife to James, mom to Graycen and Laurel, and dog-mom to Haddie. I’ve lived in this area since I was five years old and truly love calling the Gulf Coast home.

I balance life as a part-time pharmacist and co-owner of LL Auctions, and I genuinely enjoy hosting guests and helping create memorable stays. I’ve been fortunate to travel to all seven continents, but some of my favorite moments are still the simple ones spent with family.

Hospitality is important to us, and we love making sure guests have the best experience possible. My husband and I live just around the corner from our guest homes, so if you need anything during your stay we’re nearby and happy to help. Please never hesitate to reach out if there’s anything we can do to make your visit even better.

We also host two neighboring properties, which makes them great options for families or groups traveling together:

(1) By the Bay Getaway
https://expe.onelink.me/hnLd/op7plni4

(2)Play & Stay Bayview Getaway
https://expe.onelink.me/hnLd/s84xsa8n

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is very special to our family. My husband’s father built the Play & Stay Bayview Getaway (which is our guest house) and my parents built the By the Bay Getaway home that we now host for them while they’re traveling.

Because of that, these homes aren’t just vacation rentals to us—they’re part of our family story. We love being able to share them with guests and welcome people into a place that has meant so much to our families over the years.

What makes this property unique

Our properties are unique because they were built by our families and are personally cared for by us. Since we live just around the corner, we’re able to stay very involved and make sure everything is comfortable and well maintained for our guests.

The homes are fully gated and offer plenty of space for parking—including room for boats and trailers—which makes them great for fishing trips or coastal getaways. Guests also love the proximity to local fishing piers, public boat ramps, and nearby attractions.

You’ll enjoy a relaxed coastal atmosphere while still being just a short drive from great destinations like Kemah Boardwalk, NASA Johnson Space Center, and Galveston Island.

Most importantly, we try to make every stay feel welcoming, easy, and memorable.

We love helping guests discover the area, so feel free to ask for local recommendations!
