While I never post any negative reviews I only feel it’s right to share this with other people who may stay here for as we did not get the same heads up. The house is not located in the safest of areas. While we stayed there the next door neighbor made a very scary comment to us our first night; while having his 4-5 German shepherds outside with him he said “yeah I have these dogs to let me know when people are walking by because we need that warning around here.” The parking is on the street and absolutely horrid trying to get right in front of the house with the two neighbors parking and all their cars as well. The front door does not have a camera so if something happens to your vehicle you’re screwed. The front door also has a crack all the way through where light comes in almost as if someone has tried to kick through the door. Lastly, in the back bedroom there are vines growing through the actual window into the house allowing bugs to accumulate around that area. The house only has 3 window units so it does get pretty musky and hot during the day. While this was a last minute look for and of course we don’t have the most money we still have a child and dogs that travel with us (two being ESA animals), these things really made us worry about the safety of everyone while staying.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Kace. We're sorry to hear that you felt uncomfortable during your stay. We wish we had known about your concerns during your stay so we could have had the opportunity to assist. The home offers street parking, as noted in the listing, but I understand that parking may have been difficult due to high season. We will look into the front door issue, vines in the window, and ACs to make sure they are properly addressed. We appreciate you for sharing your feedback.
This place was a cute little place. We enjoyed our stay.

Really enjoyed our stay. Property was clean and close to everything. Only issue was the living area a/c struggled at times to keep cool during Texas heat but everything else was great. Would definitely stay again.
This place is great! It was clean and well-taken care of. The little yard was great for our Pekingese. The house is in a convenient location- it’s close to everything. We loved this cozy little place and will definitely stay again.
Neighborhood was a little sketchy but all in all neighbors were very polite. I will stay again on my next vacation.

Deaven,
Thank you for taking the time to review Half Pint. We are glad you gave the property a try this year instead of Moody Gardens. We are so glad you had a great time and hope to see you back again next year.
Tami and the BTVR Team
The only issue is the air conditioning, the ac in the living room is to small to cool it off, the ac where the bunk beds are cuts off often plus is in the middle of the bed so it freezes whoever is on the bottom bed.Everything else was great, property management were very helpful and quickly respond
