Delightful

The Sandy was just as described -- well appointed and delightful. We loved the off street parking, the backyard and the front porch as well as the beautiful historic home. It was perfect for our Brenham get-away.

Perfect Property

We celebrated our anniversary in Brenham and absolutely loved this property! The house is immaculate, comfortable and it was super convenient to be able to walk downtown to shops and restaurants. The hosts were very gracious and offered us snacks and beverages of our choice, even a gift card to a local confectionery for our anniversary, and were very responsive to any questions we had. We would absolutely stay here again and again! Highly recommend!!!

Getaway

We could not have asked for a more gracious and thoughtful person as Kat. We had all the comforts of home. The home was spotless. The bed was so comfortable which I can’t usually say. The home is located within walking distance to all the restaurants and downtown area. Brenham is really a cute town to visit. The Bluebell ice cream factory was well worth seeing and ice cream was amazing. We will visit again in the near future and stay in the same home.Thank you Kat and Ken

Celebrating Christmas Early

The Sandy is truly a five star property and a great location. Everything you need for a stay in Brenham. Very attentive owners with a focus on the details. The ladies liked the decorating and the guys were able to catch the Texas game in the comfortable and spacious living area. Looking for a reason to come back.

Beautiful house and lots of extra touches!

This was a great house and had everything we needed plus some nice extras like the snacks and fresh milk! The train is close by but the windows are good so did not really hear it! Highly recommend this house and it is super close to downtown Brenham about a two minute walk! Wish we had more time to enjoy it but if we go back to Texas will definitely rent again!!

Ultimate Girls Trip

I cannot say enough good things about The Sandy! Huge rooms, updated kitchen and baths, great backyard, ample parking and generous hosts! And the ease of walking next door to go downtown for shopping and dining is an added plus!We took a girls trip to Round Top and loved the plentiful mirrors for makeup application and the provided pack & play for a baby traveling with us! Would also be great for two families!The sweet hosts were so thoughtful in their preparation for us. Just wait to see for yourself! Would definitely stay here again! (One thing to note, the trains are right next door and are frequent. Bring a sound machine and use the provided ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Did not ruin the trip but definitely something to prepare for.)

Immaculate Property, Caring Hosts

The Sandy is absolutely gorgeous--decorated with taste and warmth. It's just a 5 minute walk to the picture postcard that is downtown Brenham. And, as inviting as the inside of the home, the backyard is an oasis of relaxation and refreshment. You'll love it.

The Perfect House in a Perfect Location!

The Sandy was the perfect house for our little family girls weekend getaway. We loved how it was walking distance to all of the restaurants and great shopping downtown! The house was beautiful, cozy and clean and decorated for Christmas which was a wonderful surprise! Kat and Ken made sure we had everything we needed - our favorite drinks in the fridge, a great coffee bar, even sound machines in the bedrooms, etc. They were the perfect hosts and we will definitely be back to enjoy the beautiful Sandy!

Home is very beautiful. Kat and Ken was very accommodating at our stay. Literally everything you need is at the house. Way better than a hotel. I love the decor of the house.

About the host

Hosted by Kat

Host profile image
Hi, we are Kat & Ken a Canadian and American couple who LOVE The Sandy. We have four small kiddos that we love to get out and explore with.

Why they chose this property

The Sandy may look smaller from the front door but the moment you enter you realize how grand she is. She welcomes you with warmth, charm and soaring ceilings, original hardwoods, and so much space! The home is perfect for couples, families, or a romantic weekend away. Sitting hilltop you can look out the front porch at Historic Downtown Brenham.

What makes this property unique

The Sandy is named after the tiny baby footprints that were left at the top of the hilltop staircase. And we love that! Sitting on a large parcel of land you have nearly .5 acres to relax and unwind in right in the heart of Historic Downtown. Walking distance to all the best shops, restaurants, lounges, entertainment, and fun! Simply park and hang up your keys!
