I loved that dogs can stay! The house was so nice! Whatever trouble we had we told the host and they replied quick. A little things the cleaning team needs to work out in some areas, nothing too bad. However, overall we enjoyed our stay! We went for a religious festivity and will definitely book again if we need to stay close to the NRG Center! We also check out super late due to the last event however the host super understanding and not too crazy check out fee. A super plus is that there is a park closed to the house within walking distance where I took my dogs to potty! They loved it!

This property would have gotten a better rating, except there were dirty/moldy dishes in the dishwasher. There was odd rug and furniture placement that caused a lot of trip hazards in livingroom and master. The electric outlets were loose so the chargers kept falling out. There were monitors in the rooms, but no computer or cables, so tv options were limited. There were also partially used bars of soap in the showers and expired food in the pantry and fridge.The beds and house were comfortable, and once the backyard is complete it will be great for kids and pets. It was also odd to run in to the homeowner during checkin. Host were accommodating to allow us to check in early and responsive communication from them.

Hi Casie, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I truly appreciate your honesty — it helps us make the Blue House even better for future guests. I’m very sorry about the dishes and pantry items you mentioned; that’s not the standard we hold ourselves to, and I’ve already addressed this with our cleaning team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We’ve also begun the process for updating outlet plates. An electrician should be by today to make sure those will have USB and USB-C connections available in addition to regular new plugs. I’m glad to hear you found the beds and house comfortable and that you enjoyed the early check-in and communication. We’re excited to finish the backyard updates soon — it’s becoming a really fun space for everyone to enjoy. Thank you again for staying with us, and for helping us continue to improve. Warm regards, Andy – Blue House Houston

The house smells like a big dog was sleeping there before we arrived. Febreezed the entire house, wet linen in the dryer. Can’t use the garage. Roof has holes. Back yard needs attention. Microwave was no turn plate. Oven was dirty. The internet went out at midnight Sunday morning. We worked with it took me all night to get that terrible smell out

About the host

Hosted by Andy Aguinaga

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Andy — a proud Houstonian, CPA, dad, and weekend backyard builder. My wife and I opened The Blue House to share a space that reflects our love of comfort, hospitality, and good vibes. We’ve hosted friends and family from all walks of life, and we enjoy creating a space where people (and pets!) can feel at home, whether they’re here for work, health, or fun. We know life brings people to Houston for many reasons, and we’re here to make sure your stay is peaceful, easy, and welcoming.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds: peace and quiet when you want to relax, and quick access to the city when you need to get things done. We’re minutes from NRG Park, the Texas Medical Center, Downtown Houston, and even NASA — but tucked away in a safe, quiet, and family-friendly community. We love taking evening walks with our daughter and our dog, especially on the nearby trail just a few minutes from the house. It’s one of those hidden-gem neighborhoods you don’t hear about, but once you’re here, it feels like home.

What makes this property unique

The Blue House is more than a place to sleep — it’s a thoughtfully designed space to recharge. From the custom turf backyard and multi-level deck to the pet-friendly setup and calming layout, everything was built with real guests (and real life) in mind. We’ve hosted medical visitors, traveling professionals, pet parents, and weekend adventurers — and each of them appreciated the easy check-in, reliable Wi-Fi, quiet environment, and the little touches we provide. It’s not a high-rise or cookie-cutter rental — it’s a home, and you’ll feel that the moment you walk in.
