About this property
Curated Coastal Gem • Private Lounge, Arcade, Poker
The Gilded Reed is a masterclass in "Modern Organic" design. This boutique sanctuary balances raw textures with refined luxury, featuring custom bamboo ceilings, sleek quartz, and the signature "Swaying Reed" mural. Part of the Starr Signature Stays collection, every detail—from the gilded brass accents to the spa-inspired showers—is curated for the sophisticated traveler.
Experience the perfect harmony of contemporary edge and organic coastal calm in this stunning, fully renovated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom residence. From the striking high-contrast exterior to the meticulously curated interior finishes, every detail of this home has been designed to offer a "boutique stay" experience. The space is anchored by light-colored luxury vinyl plank flooring that flows throughout the entire home, while the soaring ceilings in main areas are finished in warm bamboo wood to create an architectural focal point of natural warmth. A designer-curated wallpaper featuring swaying coastal reeds adds a soft, rhythmic texture to the living area, perfectly balancing the home's modern lines with a relaxed, coastal soul.
The chef-inspired kitchen is a showcase of sophisticated functionality, featuring sleek quartz countertops and updated cabinetry adorned with designer-style hardware. Every detail has been considered, from the brand-new suite of stainless steel appliances to the updated designer-style light fixtures that serve as functional art throughout the home. This commitment to quality continues into the private quarters, where all three bedrooms offer a serene escape and each of the updated bathrooms features modern, high-end finishes. The layout is thoughtfully completed with a convenient half-bath for guests and a large, open-concept flow that maximizes natural light.
Introducing "The Lounge" — Your Private Entertainment Oasis Just steps from the main house lies the crown jewel of the property: a spectacular, fully finished detached guest lounge. This premium space seamlessly extends the home's modern organic and coastal chic design, combining high-energy entertainment with resort-style luxury. Inside, you'll find:
The Ultimate Game Room: A professional-grade, round card table with plush teal velvet seating, a premium tabletop shuffleboard with a wall-mounted TV overhead, and a retro arcade corner featuring three classic cabinet games.
Boutique Wet Bar: A sleek, fully stocked serving station featuring gold cocktail accents and vibrant glassware—perfect for mixing drinks and entertaining.
Flexible Overnight Accommodations: A stunning, cane-paneled daybed equipped with a premium pop-up trundle. It functions as a cozy sofa by day and effortlessly transforms into a twin or expansive king-size bed by night to comfortably host extra guests.
Cozy Nooks: Twin hanging rattan egg chairs that invite you to sink in, relax, and enjoy the ambient LED crown lighting.
Step outside to a private, low-maintenance backyard sanctuary, ideal for morning coffee or intimate evening gatherings. Stroll down a symmetrically designed stone-paver pathway, illuminated by a canopy of twinkling bistro lights, which connects the main house directly to the lounge. Here, you can gather your group around the glowing propane fire table, relax in comfortable all-weather wicker armchairs under a massive retractable awning, or grill out while the kids play on the clean, mud-free synthetic turf lawn.
Situated in a prime location, this home offers the ultimate in convenience, located less than two miles from H-E-B and major medical facilities like HCA Houston Healthcare Kingwood. For those who love the outdoors, the local area is rich with recreation, including the Kingwood greenbelt trails and the scenic River Grove Park just minutes away.
