We loved the property and literally walked threw back yard to get to Pier 6. Beautiful landscaped walk to enjoy the water, enjoyed setting at bistro table. The only drawbacks were their was someone staying up above us and was up running around at 1am to 4 am and again late into the night the next. The bed was a little to hard for us but we got a good sleep the last night no one was upstairs. The area and cottage was so relaxed and clean. Would love to stay again

Immaculate, charming bungalow
Located in laid-back San Leon, this retreat offers a peaceful place to unwind. Parking under a covered canopy gave easy & direct access to a back door to unload the vehicle. Central air works even with 100 degree temps outside. Comfortable queen bed with upscale linens. Bathroom has plenty of grab bars for safety with plush, oversize towels. Kitchen is functional with a better than average set of cutlery. I could not find a toaster nor toaster oven as described in listing. Used the oven instead to brown toast - easy remedy. Aptly named the "Gallery," this well-insulated concrete block construction is decorated with an eclectic mix of furnishings and art. Seafood restaurants nearby: Pier 6 and Top-Water Grill both had water views.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Hall

Host profile image
Julie Hall was searching for a coastal place near the water. She came across a house and discovered the previous owner was Mark Inabnit who was known for his publications, one well known today as Houston Home and Gardens.

He passed away in 1997, never able to complete his project with the house.
Julie's background in interior design was up for the challenge to convert the concrete block house into her dream home and that is exactly what she did!

Windmill Gardens Inn today is well known as a landmark with a Windmill perched upon the roof that provides a unique style of its own. Each of the units are designed differently with a name setting apart the artistic flare to make anyone feel right at home.

Why they chose this property

Windmill Gardens Inn can be envisioned as a nest of tropical cottage and bungalow-style accommodations nestled in a truly sub-tropical jungle setting.
You will feel as though you have entered into a little bit of Eden, as the tensions of a busy world seem to melt away...
....the very moment you arrive.

What makes this property unique

The gardens were created and are managed by a well-known horticulturist with a passion for Tropical Botany and who is responsible for helping to create, nurture and grow some of the largest and most fabulous professional gardens on the Gulf Coast.
