We recommend guests travel by car as public transportation options are limited in this region. You will find ample free parking available directly on the premises and on the street for your convenience. Major regional attractions such as the Kemah Boardwalk and the San Jacinto Monument are reachable within a 20 to 30 minute drive. For air travel, George Bush Intercontinental Airport is approximately a 45 to 50 minute drive depending on traffic conditions.

• Self Check-in: Equipped with a secure smart lock system for effortless, contact-free self-check-in and enhanced property security throughout your stay.



• Country Setting & Water Supply: Enjoy the peaceful charm of being out in the country! Please note our home is serviced by a community well water system. The water is safe and regularly tested, though like most rural well systems, it may naturally carry mild mineral characteristics.



• Laundry & Convenience: Our home comes fully equipped with an on-site washer and dryer, complete with complimentary premium laundry detergent and fabric softener. The property is generously stocked with ample cleaning supplies, extra paper goods, and fresh trash liners.



• Plumbing & Septic System: The home operates on a private country septic system rather than a public municipal sewer. To keep everything functioning smoothly, we kindly ask that only toilet paper be flushed, and that no wipes, paper towels, or feminine hygiene products are put down the drains.

All linens and towels are laundered at high temperatures for maximum hygiene. If anything isn't perfect upon arrival, we will gladly send a team back to make it right.

Nice place for a weekend baseball tournament. Was clean and had pretty much everything needed. Just wish the front bedroom had a fan. If you have a little one bring a baby gate. Stairs are steep.

Clean, Convenient, & Cozy!

My family of 5 really enjoyed our stay at this home! It’s clean and cozy and the pictures didn’t do it justice. They really thought of the guest by having the little things to get you started like dish soap, laundry supplies, bath soaps, extra pillows and blankets, even a pack and play for your little one! We enjoyed having the TV’s in the bedrooms for our kids and wifi as well. Neighborhood was quiet and a quick trip to town! We stayed here to attend a wedding at The Springs and it was very convenient.

Very cute house

We loved staying here. Had some issues (still not resolved) with being charged extra fees. So be sure to watch your billing summary. I've reached out to the owner, and management company and was ignored by both in regards to this. The house is newly renovated. Very cozy. Great location for what we needed. We'd come back.

Perfect for our family.

This house was our only alternative to a hotel when our house build got delayed by a few weeks. After living here for two weeks, we’ve got all good feedback. The house is above average in dishes/utensils/cookware. And it was very intentionally set up to be comfortable. The morning view is incredible. The beds are comfortable, the house was clean and just as nice as the pictures show. Location probably isn’t on people’s list of top destinations to visit, but if your looking for some serenity, it’s a great place to relax and enjoy the views. The only sound for miles is the wind through the trees and the flocks of birds. Highly recommend!

Wedding Weekend

We rented the property for my daughter and her bridesmaids to stay the night before her wedding. What a beautiful place! Easy to find, tucked back in a quiet neighborhood in the country. The manager of the property answered all questions quickly and professionally. The house itself is absolutely beautiful. My favorite moment was checking on my daughter the morning of the wedding and having a nice visit sitting on the back porch watching a stunning sunrise come up over the bayou. I will definitely use this property again when family or friends come in to town, and will tell all my friends about it as well. I am also going to refer this property to the owners of the wedding venue we used (The Springs, Wallisville, TX) to let other wedding parties know what a lovely place this is!!! Thanks a million!
