Comfy large home with plenty of space and bathrooms. We went with a group of teenage girls for a dance competition. The location was great we were less than 4 min away from moody gardens convention center. Great location and the dance girls enjoyed spending time in the heated pool.

The house was very clean, convenient to a lot of local spots. Host was very helpful, delightful to chat with and very responsive. My family and I had plenty of space and really enjoyed our stay. The pool and the ping pong table were our favorite things to do at the house. The bunk bedroom was a perfect space for our kids to create memories. Would definitely stay again!

I appreciate you guys so much for helping me find the perfect place to spend time with my family for the Christmas holiday. It was a last minute Christmas gift that turned out phenomenal! After the family experienced having my Mother in and out the hospital for the last year; which led her to transitioning to a wheelchair for the few past months, I am beyond grateful for the extra guidance I received during the booking process. Every question or concern I had about the property prior to booking was answered quickly which put my mind at ease especially during the stresses that the holiday season brings. The house was warm and beautiful. Very spacious for our family of 18. The kids loved the pool! Seeing my Mother and Father able to gather with their children and all 10 of their grandchildren really meant the world to my Mother! I couldn't put this moment together without you guys. I'm forever grateful for you guys at vacay time and the owners of the property. Absolutely heaven sent!

Beautiful home! Plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortably, and many lovely amnesties in the home! The pool is heated which was a great to be able to enjoy the pool even in late December! I also felt very safe, every door has a security alarm on it where it makes a loud noise to alert everyone that it’s been opened. No complaints about the home at all — great find!
