About this property

Comfort & Charm - Long Term Stays Considered.

Newly and fully renovated, this lovely guest house sits in a quiet neighborhood just blocks away from delightful downtown Tomball. Since most of our guests are couples and families transitioning from one home to another, we strive to provide you with a comfortable and stress-free place-of-in-between. That's why we call it Brightside. We want you to see the bright side of things every time you walk in the door! Brightside II is an 900 square foot guest house situated on the same property as Brightside 1, which is also another very private vacation rental. Guests will enjoy two private bedrooms that sleep 4 with room for a fifth on an inflatable, a quaint and all-new kitchen, a comfortable living area, an indoor laundry room, space for approved pets, and all the shopping and charm Tomball has to offer. You won't find a more comfortable short-term residence than our Moore Street home-away-from-home.

ABOUT THE OWNERS: Frank and Becky Thompson live just 20 minutes away and are experienced "owners" with eight other similar rentals in the area since 2015. They're very proud all of their properties have 5-star ratings, and they look forward to providing you with a similarly pleasurable experience.

12-day Stay

This house is comfortable and roomy. The neighborhood is peaceful, except for an occasional loud car and an occasional crowing rooster which we found kind of fun, and the location is easily accessible. The hostess was friendly and willing to address a couple of minor issues.

Back patio

The back patio was a lovely spot to have a coffee. We also bought a travel bbq so we could cook on the patio. I would have preferred a king bed but we were quite comfortable, none the less.

Bright spot in the stress

We loved this place! We were in between homes and it was a very stressful time. The one thing that wasn’t stressful was our “home away from home.” We enjoyed the house, the location, and both Frank and Becky are so kind! We plan to use this anytime we need a place to stay when visiting family in Houston! Thank you for sharing this lovely place!

Comfortable Cottage-like home

Becky the owner/host could not have been more accommodating, nice, and thoughtful. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything anyone could have wanted. It truly felt like you were living in your own home. 5+ stars.

1 month rental in Tomball

My husband, golden doodle and I had a very nice stay at this Tomball apartment. There was a nice fenced in backyard for our dog complete with a patio set. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. The owners did a great job communicating throughout our stay and we appreciated the updates they provided. The location is within walking distance to downtown Tomball and we took advantage of weekend festivals, dining, and the weekend farmer’s market. We would definitely recommend this listing to others.

Perfect for our needs

My family of four (children 3 and 6) needed a place to call home for several weeks while we were in the process of selling our home in the Houston area and relocating to Austin. I have used VRBO for several years and knew I could count on it. This rental stood out as meeting our exact needs, for a great price, and it even was in a perfect location for me to commute to Austin weekly and for my wife to finish out her work in Spring just miles down the road. The house is cozy, has every basic need covered, and the neighborhood was great. We loved visiting 403 Eats just a short walk away that had food trucks, drinks, a play area for the kids, and live entertainment. And Jerry Matheson park is just a few minutes drive away with a great park and pool open during the summer.

Loved this place

Becky and Frank were amazing and made sure we had everything we needed. The house was way roomier than we thought it would be at 800 sq ft. The house was adorable and the back yard was perfect for our dogs. I highly recommend Becky and Frank as hosts.

Why they chose this property

This property will feel like home, and it's close to everything.
Most of our guests are waiting on their new home, experiencing a home renovation, or living down south for the winter. They always give us 5 stars and continuously tell us our property is as close to home as they could get. It may not be a 5-star luxury resort, but all guests feel blessed with a true respite.
