Okay, but not worth what was charged

Overall, the space seemed to be clean. The beds were very stained under the sheets though. The pool was also a let down because it was very dirty and the cleaner was not working. There’s also no diving board as pictured. The space overall was spacious but it had a bunch of rooms that were locked making it kind of creepy. Especially at night because we didn’t know if anyone else was there on the property or in any of the locked rooms. We didn’t have restful nights at the place because it always sounded like people walking around and doors opening/closing. Also, one of the nights, a dog barked almost all night.The neighborhood looked a little sketchy but was fine, just a regular neighborhood.The best thing was the game room and outdoor area. I believe that they are charging mostly for that. It was okay overall but would not return.

Anniversary and Father's Day Getaway

The perfect getaway from the city. The outdoor area including the pool, palapa and shaded seating were so amazing. And the facilities inside were clean and comfortable...especially the gourmet kitchen. I highly recommend this property.

Enjoyed our stay

We were looking for a place that had everything we needed without having to leave, and this house accomplished that. We spent most of our days in the pool/outdoor area, the kids loved the pool table and gaming table in the palapa. It's a neat house with lots of room and we were very happy with our time.

Great house!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The neighborhood isn't the greatest but it was perfect for what we needed. The house was spacious and we enjoyed spending our days in the pool. It was a short drive to Kemah and Galveston.

Great place to stay!

We loved our stay! The pool was perfect & property was very nice, our group of 8 has plenty of room & everything we needed. Lea was very helpful & responsive. The neighborhood is a little run down in areas, but was quiet & we had no issues at all. We never felt uncomfortable or concerned. Would stay here again.

Our group was evacuating Louisiana for a hurricane and this place was perfect for us. The pictures of the property are accurate. We enjoyed using the game room to hang out. Lea the property manager was great and responded promptly to our questions. The surrounding neighborhood was quiet and safe. I'd stay here again.
