Our Stay

We opted to stay at a house instead of 5 hotel rooms for my husband's get together. This was the best decision we could have made for 10 people coming in from 3 states to visit for the weekend. What made it so special and workable was Kris, the owner. The house was everything and more in the advertisement. Kris answered all our questions and was very easy to work with. As for the house, it was amazing, luxurious and close to food, malls, everything. House was clean, the yard well maintained, the pool was awesome, and beds very comfortable.

Owner response:Dawn and Her Family were the Perfect Guest,i was Very Pleased how Clean the House was after Checking out.Please call me on your Next Vacation to Houston,Tx.Thanks. Kris

Great Holiday rental

We rented this home for 10 nights for a family holiday from 15th to 25th August 2011. There were 5 of us (my wife & I plus our three sons aged 12,11 and 9). The house was great as there was plenty of room for us to have our own space as well as coming together as a family in the communal areas. The pool and spa tub are fantastic and were well used during our stay given the high temperatures (100F plus every day). This was a chill out and relax break so we were at the property a lot during our stay. It's in a quiet residential area, although you do get the sound of train horns from the railway through Alvin. It's well located for Pearland and Baybrook Malls for shopping and eating, plus there is good local grocery shopping within a couple of miles. The Space Centre is within 25 mins drive, and the coast at Galveston only 30 miles away. Kris was a pleasure to deal with - he was responsive when I made contact from the UK to enquire about availability, and was only a call away to assist with a couple of things during our stay. Only minor points of improvement for me would be: 1. The linen and towels in particular were pretty much at the end of their useful life and could have done with being replaced, and provision of big towels for the pool. 2. A welcome pack of basic essentials would be useful, especially for a late evening arrival like ours (milk, bread, cereal, sugar, salt, pepper, etc.) 3. A decent cleanup of the pool perimeter fencing area where the seats are - there were a lot of cigarette ends on the ground. The website photos don't really do the property justice - we'd definitely recommend this property instead of using hotels.

Outstanding and as Advertised

Stayed a week in Kris's house and met all of needs. Beautiful home, all bedrooms great and comfy. Pool, water fall and hot tub outstanding. Kris was right there if we needed anything. Good experience. Was fearful of the location being somewhat out of the way, but travel was easy and quick to airport, Houston and Galveston. 2 food recommendation Kelly's Country Cookin for breakfast and Joe's B-bque outstanding, very close by. Thanks Kris for a great stay !!!

We stayed at this property May 18-22, 2011. After searching many options, we chose this property because we felt it would handle all of our needs. We were in Houston for my oldest son's wedding and we had several family members traveling with us. I am happy to say that this property fulfilled all of our needs---and then some!!! The house is gorgeous; the pictures don't do it justice. ALL the bedrooms are large and attractive. The beds are extremely comfy. There are plenty of bathrooms even for large parties. The common areas are great for gathering; we had a great time at the foosball table and pool table. The house is decorated with great furniture, yet homey, and lots of thought to the guests. The pool area is wonderful; we spent tons of time sitting around the pool catching up on the day's activities. Our host, Kris, is absolutely wonderful and VERY accommodating. No matter what your needs are, he responds immediately. He is a good source of information about the area. I can't give enough accolades; you have to experience it. We definitely will be renting this house again in the near future. Now that we have a new daughter-in-law and our son has settled in Houston, we will be visiting frequently.

Perfect Vacation Home !!! Review Submitted: March 28, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011 By Jason (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) We stayed for a week with a total of 10 and it was perfect. The house was extremely clean, bedrooms were large and enough bathrooms for everyone. The pool and hot tub were amazing as was the yard. Kris was there if we needed anything, but only there when we called. He wasn't around unless needed. Close location to Houston and Glaviston. Great place. Would go back in a heartbeat

We used this home for 10 nights while in Houston for business. We had 8 adults and it was a very comfortable stay. The owner (Kris) was very accomodating and was a phone call away if we needed anything. I would recommend this for anyone and would stay there again in a heartbeat.

This is a gorgeous property all the things that are listed on the property you will find it. It has a huge backyard and its gated around on about 2 acres. If you are looking to host a outing with a big family I don't recommend this home but if just about 10 people great although the owner would ok large parties it might not be the best option. Kris is a nice guy but the fear of several people concerns him and he will constantly show up to the property to check on it. But over all this is a beautiful properrty
