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.

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
We had such a great time renting this property, our kids really enjoyed that they were able to play in the yard. They were awesome about answering any questions we had as well.

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
Cute little house, only complaint is the AC in the front of the house does not keep it cool during the day. We had several activities so we weren't there as much during the day.

Thank you for staying with us, Leigh. We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the home. We're kinda sad we did not hear about the AC issue during your stay, as we missed the opportunity to address it right away, but we will check on it now that we receive your report. Thank you again, and we'd love to host you again soon!
We enjoyed our little mini vacation before going our cruise. This house was perfect for our family of 5 to hang around enjoying family time. We had enough room for all of us to sleep. The best part was even tho it’s tiny one the outside, there is plenty of space and we didn’t feel like we were stepping on one another. The next time we will definitely stay here.

This cabin was equipped with all the necessities. Really simple process to book and check in. It was about a mile from the beach which was convenient. A little farther is Stewart Beach which was nice for fur baby. Thanks for a relaxing stay!
Only comment would be that the AC units were a bit on the noisy side but kept the place cool even at 95 degrees outside.
