The location was perfect. We enjoyed the stay very much. The host provided everything you can think of so we didn’t have to run out to the store to pick up anything other than of course the groceries and stuff we wanted in the refrigerator but other than that the place was well stocked and very comfortable.

We had a great experience staying at this property! We celebrated our one year anniversary and it was a beautiful stay! The hosts were very responsive and helpful. We would love to stay here again in the future :) It was also nice to bring our sweet pup, and not have to worry about finding someone to dog sit!

The house was very clean and smelled nice. Easy check-in and out. Nice tennis court and lake to fish in. The town was walking distance from the house, very convenient. Very family-friendly, would definitely come here again!

The hosts thought of everything a guest would need from birthday candles to toothbrushes. The host immediately contacted me when a storm caused a temporary powers outage. We enjoyed walking to downtown Bellaire multiple times. We will rent and his home again.
