Excellent property that more than accommodated our family of four adult couples, each of whom got a spacious bedroom and en suite bathroom. The beds and bedding were very comfortable and the air conditioning worked extremely well on a hot humid Houston weekend. The location was conveniently located in the heart of Rice village near all the restaurants and shops. Communication with Ann was quick and very responsive. The property was in great condition. Highly recommended overall.

We had two families, 11 people, stay at the Kirby house and it was perfect! The house is beautiful and large enough for both families to stay! We came down to visit our sons and go to the Rodeo. This location is just under 3 miles from NRG, so it was perfect for the Rodeo or a football game! We also are big fans of Rice Village! Every restaurant and store is a 5-10 minute walk from the house. If you want to go to the zoo, it is maybe 10 minutes away. We hope to stay there again!

Exceptional experience with Ann - this is a great property. We booked this place for a large group to stay in after the funeral for a dear friend, so it was a sad occasion - but Ann’s consideration and communication made the experience better. Our guests kept saying how nice the property was and they felt cared for during a difficult time. Great location near Rice Village, so convenient for food. I definitely recommend this property.

We recently stayed at this property and overall had a very nice experience. The home itself is well maintained and worked well for our group. The kitchen was especially well stocked with useful amenities, which made cooking easy.The owner was also very responsive and helpful, offering great local recommendations that we appreciated during our stay.One small observation for future guests is that the home feels a bit more formal than many vacation rentals so we found ourselves being extra extra cautious while using the space.We also noticed the listing mentions sleeping up to 16 guests, but we didn’t see a sleeper sofa in the den. It wasn’t an issue for our group since we didn’t need the extra sleeping space, but future guests planning for a larger group may want to confirm the sleeping arrangements.Overall, this is a lovely property with thoughtful amenities, a very helpful host, and it served our group well for our stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 March 2026
Thank you so much for the wonderful five-star review and for choosing Kirby Haus for your stay. We’re so glad you enjoyed the home, and we always appreciate guests who take such great care of the space. Kirby Haus is intentionally designed with elevated finishes and curated details, which can feel more refined than a typical vacation rental—but we hope it also makes the stay feel special and comfortable. It is very much a home where families are warmly welcomed, and we always want guests to feel at ease while enjoying the space. To maintain a clean and spacious feel, we set up beds based on the number of guests on the reservation. Additional bedding is always available upon request, and we’re happy to accommodate larger groups with advance notice. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback and kind words. We’d be delighted to host you again anytime you’re back in Houston.

Great Place and Excellent Host

We were in for 3 nights to see some family and attend the rodeo. Everything was easy and communication was excellent. We had a minor issue when the city decided to turn off the water to the street, but the host was highly communicative and it ended up not being a big deal. I highly recommend the place, as it is very clean and neat.

This townhome is absolute perfection! The moment you walk in you are immersed in a professionally decorated warm, inviting home. The master suite and master guest suite are luxurious on the ground floor. Perfect privacy to each guest with en suite bathrooms. Up the first stairs is a stunning kitchen with windows allowing the light to shine in the stunning dining room and living area. The decor is 5 star luxury and every amenity and cookware you need is in the open beautiful kitchen. Massive fridge and wonderful ice maker. You can go out on the patio and feel part of the city life or go to downstairs bamboo garden for total privacy. The other two huge bedrooms are upstairs on top floor and furnished with luxurious linens and furniture. This house is the most elegant, yet comfortable home I have ever rented. The perfect location is in mid town to medical center and restaurants museums you name it! Md Anderson is 2 miles away. An added bonus-literally walk out front door to Starbucks adjacent to property. The kitchen however, was full of coffee/teas options and all the trimmings! The owner is very kind, pays attention to detail and is a wonderful host. I look forward to staying here again soon! Thank you for the most amazing experience!

Amazing Stay

I hosted a small group for my mom’s 70th birthday and it was amazing. The house is beautiful and in a great location. The home is central to everything. The check in and out process was great as well. There was not a lengthy to do list for check out and that is always a plus. The host also responded very quickly when we had questions. I would definitely choose this property again.

Easter Weekend 2024

Had a really nice stay over Easter weekend with the family. The home was very nicely laid out and there is plenty of room where we never felt cramped. What we really appreciate is how close everything we wanted to do is. Minute Maid stadium, Toyota Center, shopping, it’s all close by. The area is safe as well. There is a Starbucks next door and you can make an order and walk over in under 2 minutes. We especially appreciate the people watching from the kitchen windows. Highly recommend!
