This location was an absolute dream for all ages! The property manager was incredibly helpful when my travel plans completely changed and the rest of my party was delayed in arriving. This home was just what I needed. Everything was within walking distance to incredible restaurants, happy hours and independent shops. Driving to points downtown was also super easy. We discovered a fun comic book shop for the kids, walked to cheer on the Houston marathon runners (grabbing a VooDoo donut in support) and staked out some fun outdoor retreats like a pickle ball court for next time.

About the host

Hosted by Caroline Allison

Host profile image
I love hosting and cooking! And Houston is my favorite city I've ever lived in! Happy to host you and tell you about all the great things Houston has to offer! I believe in living life to the fullest. I've traveled to 106 countries and love and appreciate other cultures and languages. I'm a marathon runner, fantastic cook and host!

Why they chose this property

I love the proximity to Memorial Park and Buffalo Bayou Park. I'm a runner, so its great if you like the outdoors. Washington Avenue is nearby and there's a whole night scene on weekend nights, bustling with restaurant and bar-goers. If you are a biker, runner, tennis player, golfer, workout fanatic, this neighborhood appeals to the sportsman (woman) and outdoor enthusiast with the free amenities offered over at Memorial Park. There are over 20 miles of biking trails with Buffalo Park, Memorial Park and all the biking trails in the Heights. Houston's best restaurants can be found along Washington Avenue, Westheimer, Montrose, Uptown Galleria, all within 5- 10 minutes from the property. Downtown Houston is just a 10 min drive away too.

What makes this property unique

The inspiration for the "The Santorini" aka "The Santorini Beach House" came from a client building their dream house on a Greek Island. Knowing how far away and expensive it is to travel to Greece, I decided to redecorate my white stucco house, which already looks very Greek, to look something like re-creating that Greek island experience right here in Houston. The idea is to create a resort-like feel in the urban setting of Houston. While inside the home, it feels like its taken you to this other world. However, when you step outside the door, you are in Houston.
