About this property

Modern Retreat • Private Pergola • Pool • Fire Pit

Discover a brand-new modern home with a private backyard oasis. Inside, enjoy a bright Scandinavian-inspired design, a fully equipped kitchen, and spacious bedrooms. Step outside to your retreat featuring a pergola with string lights, white-gravel landscaping, bamboo, palms, a seasonal stock-tank pool, picnic table, grill, and wood-burning fire pit. Perfect for relaxing, working, or exploring Houston.

Our property:
Welcome to a modern and spacious two-story townhome designed with a clean boho-minimalist style. The first floor features a cozy living room with a 55” Smart TV, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area for six, a half bathroom, and a private master bedroom with a king bed and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms—each with a queen bed—set on opposite ends of the floor for added privacy, along with a full shared bathroom.

Step outside to your own backyard oasis, complete with a pergola and string lights, a picnic table, a charcoal grill (bring your own charcoal), a wood-burning fire pit, a seasonal stock-tank pool, and bamboo landscaping that creates a relaxing outdoor vibe perfect for unwinding day or night.

Guest Access:
Guests have full access to the entire townhome, including the living room, dining area, fully equipped kitchen, all three bedrooms, and two and a half bathrooms.

You’ll also have access to a private backyard, which includes the pergola, picnic table, charcoal grill (bring your own charcoal), fire pit (wood logs available), and the seasonal stock tank pool.

For longer stays, the washer and dryer will also be available. Laundry access is offered for reservations of three nights or more, as this helps us keep cleanings running smoothly while still giving extended-stay guests the convenience of doing laundry at home.

Parking for up to 2 cars is included in the driveway, and you’ll receive a unique smart lock code for easy self check-in.

Other details to note:
• No parties or large gatherings are allowed. Visitors must be approved in advance.
• Maximum occupancy is 6 guests. Extra visitors or overnight guests incur a $100 fee per person.
• Pets are welcome (up to 2) with a $100 pet fee. Please notify us beforehand.

• The stock tank pool is open only during warmer months (closed in winter).
• Standard blinds (not blackout) may let in some morning light.
• Two exterior security cameras monitor the front and backyard for safety only.
• If anything requires attention (AC, plumbing, appliances), please report it early so we can assist promptly.

The home was exactly as advertised! Very clean, comfortable, and the bed was great. We also really appreciated how responsive the host was when the smoke/carbon monoxide detector started going off in the middle of the night. They had all of the downstairs detectors replaced the very next day, which we were very thankful for. The only downsides were the dog waste left in the backyard from a previous guest which I had to pick up myself and having to walk through mud to access the backyard after the rain. The area is also located in Houston’s Fifth Ward, which has a reputation for being unsafe, though we personally did not feel unsafe during our stay.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback — we're really glad to hear the home was exactly as advertised and that you found it clean and comfortable! We're also happy we were able to respond quickly to the detector situation and get everything sorted out for you the very next day. Regarding the backyard, we sincerely apologize for that — we have since addressed our pet policy and inspection process to make sure this doesn't happen again. As for the backyard access after rain, Houston weather can be unpredictable, and we are actively looking at ways to improve that area for our guests. We appreciate your honest feedback — it helps us continue improving the experience for everyone who stays with us. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again and show you the improvements we've made!

This listing was perfect. I stayed with one friend and we loved this listing so much. House was beautiful and also very clean and was equipped with everything we needed from makeup wipes off towels , blow dryer ,and so much more. The neighborhood was off but it’s up and coming so it was expected. I have no complaints about this listing it was perfect for me and my friends vacation.

Very clean. Very easy check-in/check-out process. I love that they make it simple for travelers. We stayed at three different VRBO places in TX in the last few days and liked this place the most. Nice and firm bed - we slept well. Will stay again.
