This place that we stayed was amazing!The craftmanship was amazing and was very clean and comfortable. We were 6 miles from Kemah, just far enough from the noise of traffic, etc.., but close enough to venture out daily.We highly recommend this place!We will be keeping their information very handy for the future!Gabbie Bourque

We had a great stay at this property during our trip to Houston. The home was exactly what we needed, and honestly, it looked even better in person than it did in the pictures online, which was a pleasant surprise.There was a little confusion regarding our early check-in, but Yolonda was very responsive and handled the situation promptly, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and we would definitely consider staying here again.
