About the host

Hosted by Julie Mathos

Host profile image
We are a family of 3 plus 2 Weimaraner dogs, Riley and Abilene and 2 Blue Russian cats, Tori and Candy. We live on the northwest side of Houston currently but we planned to move to the Seabrook area closer to work. Plans changed and I am now working on the Southwest part of Houston so we have listed our beautiful beach home and condo at the marina as a vacation rental. We have loved hosting people from out of town and really enjoy travelling ourselves.

Why they chose this property

Both properties have a nice water view. I love rivers and mountains but I am originally from the beach and really love the smell and atmosphere of a sweet little fishing village with easy access to Kemah, Baybrook Mall, NASA Galveston and the Medical Center.

What makes this property unique

I have been travelling across the US and overseas since I was 8 years old which makes me uniquely experienced in identifying great locations that are safe and convenient as well as special. Whether you want to stay in or explore the surroundings, you can decide to walk, bike or drive short distances and be fully entertained by nature (trails and sunrise), old town Seabrook or NASA and every modern convenience and store Houston has to offer. It has a vacation feel but a convenient drive to work in Pasadena, Downtown or the Medical Center.
