Regular repeat customer
We really enjoy the calm vibes at this Houston VRBO, and stay here regularly while in Houston. (We've also stayed at a few other places when this is unavailable, but this is definitely our favorite.).
We stayed here on a family trip to Houston to see all of the museums and the zoo. It was a great place to stay in a convenient location. Lots of great food options in the area as well. The sheets were soft and the home had everything we needed. The back patio was a nice spot to relax in the morning and evening.

From The Owner: "Hi, thank you so much for the 5-star rating. We always enjoy your renting. Hope to see you back again in 2025!"
We had a great stay. We needed something close to Rice University and this house was great. The house is very nice and spacious with lots of windows, beautiful plants and back patio and o enjoy.
Good layout and well equipped kitchen. Nice garden but traffic noise from nearby major street and highway unfortunate. Otherwise, location is a dream.

Great House
Great location. Everything labeled and well appointed. Would highly recommend!
The house was clean and organized. It had lots of space and the neighborhood was safe. It was located near lots of restaurants and points of interests including 10 minutes for NRG stadium and the zoo.
Our family was very comfortable and happy at this home while we visited our daughter who is studying at the Med Center. Worked out well for our elderly dog also. The home is nicely decorated and the kitchen is great! The neighborhood is charming, quiet, and has a safe feel. I would definitely stay here again.
This is the second time we stayed in this property, excellent as always, very nice, clean and quiet neighborhood, close to supermarkets, shops and restaurants. The house is well kept, with all the possible amenities you can think off, beautiful garden, including the vertical garden!!! Will definitely return to this place when we go back to Houston.
We had a fantastic stay and cannot say enough great things about this house! We have never been to Houston and were worried about staying in a bad area while we dropped our son off at a camp. A friend recommended that we stay in this area, right around Rice, and they were absolutely correct - the location is perfect. The house was in a beautiful, quiet, and walkable neighborhood. We could walk to restaurants and walk our dogs. The house had more than enough room, was spotless, and had plenty of towels, kitchen items, and other essentials. There was even a beautiful backyard area, and we sat out every morning to have coffee. We want to thank the host for such a great trip, and we will definitely stay here again when we return to Houston!

Great Stay in Houston
Our stay here for ~10 days with my wife, her mother and our 20 month old son was perfect.
The place was excellent for our needs and exactly as shown in the pictures.
The small backyard was beautiful and tranquil & the neighborhood was extremely walkable with lots of small parks close by for our son to play.
The owner was extremely personable and helpful, providing us with information of the area.
Put this rental on your short list of places to stay while in Houston.
Thank you so much Sidney for the opportunity to stay at your lovely home! You are such a kind host and had a beautiful home with all the amenities for our Rice graduation celebration weekend. With ages 22-80 our family did really well. And thank you for your kindness in letting us have a late chrckout too!

Nice home
It’s a really nice property. The owner lives in the front of the home. He wasn’t particularly welcoming to me when I arrived, extremely jet lagged.
The air fresheners are also very strong and you can hear the owner coughing/hacking in the night time.
Came to Houston for Christmas to spend time with our son who attends Rice University. Easy walking distance to Rice University. Nice neighborhood. Wonderful cozy backyard. Many windows and light. Well stocked kitchen. We had a wonderful Christmas. Thank You!
We came to Houston for a medical procedure. I was accompanied by my husband, sister, and adult daughter. We had enough space to spread out and be comfortable, but also come together and make some meals. The home is well equipped for cooking but close enough to restaurants for eating out. We enjoyed watching movies, relaxing, and sitting outside in the backyard area. The host has constructed a beautiful plant wall like I’ve never seen before. Perfect for quiet meditation moments.

Nice place but with a couple of issues
The house was very nice and comfortable. Our only issue was with the shower in the master bedroom. The water fluctuates between very hot and cold. We mentioned the problem to Sydney and he was aware of the issue. However, instead of fixing it he just said to turn it off and on, which did not help at all. As well, one of the windows in the master bedroom has no window covering which made it very difficult to sleep once the sun was out.
