Property and the host Nick was Amazing!!!!
This is a great place to stay if traveling with a large group. It was a group of 14 and everyone had so much space and privacy. Planning on going to Houston with a large group this is definitely the place to stay, and was close to everything and great food near by. The famous Turkey Leg Hut was in walking distance. 5 Star in my books!!!

Very unique stay
One of the most unique properties I have stayed at. House had plenty of amenities and plenty of room for our large group. Property manager was very easy to get ahold of and he was very accommodating. Entire house was super clean and we were given total privacy. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Nick

Host profile image
We are a real estate company that purchased the property when it was in terrible condition. The previous owner who was adding improvements to the house for almost 30 years passed away during his vacation on the Caribbean Islands leaving his project half-finished. House was repossessed by the bank and was sitting empty for serval years. The abundant property got vandalized and deteriorated. Fortunately, the unique features of the property put in place by the previous owner survived in most places. However, it took us two years to renovate the place to make it what it is now. We preserved what we could from the original house, making changes to the floor plans and finishing parts of the house that were only partially done. We fell in love with the house and decided to convert it into a guest house to make it available to other people to come and enjoy this place.
