The stay was a smooth and seamless process from start to finish. The host was easy to communicate with and very responsive. The space was clean, quiet, and offered a great sense of privacy. Overall, a very comfortable and hassle-free experience.
The pool temp was perfect! Home was perfectly clean and a very quiet location. Reagan was very helpful and communicated promptly. Check in and check out were very simple. Will stay again if back in Houston.
It's rare, I find a stay that is perfect in everyway, from location, to how spacious it was, clean, beautiful and the commutation was on point! Would stay again
The Kirby Retreat is an amazing property! Super unique, stylish and functional. We used it for meeting space to host offsite company meetings and it suited perfectly. Most importantly, Reagan is a very attentive host. She is incredibly responsive, and quick to address any inquiries that we had.
From arrival to departure, we had an amazing stay! The pictures are just like the home but even better in person! Reagan was such a great host, from making sure we had everything we needed to great communication. It’s in a great location with so many places near by but also having enough privacy on the property! I definitely recommend this home!
Omg! This property is amazing! We were in town for a family wedding and it was a great location. Spacious, clean, has everything you would need.The pool is awesome! A great outdoor space to enjoy the pool and watch football.Lots of fun activities to keep you entertained: ping pong, pool table, shuffle board, etc.The owner was very communicative and helpful.Such a great weekend!Highly recommend this property!
We had an incredible experience! The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and perfect for our family. The pool and game room kept everyone entertained—especially the ping pong table, which became the center of our family “battles.” With three spacious floors and plenty of private spaces, we could relax and recharge easily. The location was ideal—close to great food, activities, and several universities. The host was welcoming and super accommodating. Truly a must-stay!
The Kirby Retreat was an amazing experience. The pictures don't do this place justice because you have to see it with your eyes to understand the setup and flow of the house. It is very close to downtown and a quick drive or uber ride to restaurants and bars. The pool was used the whole visit especially during the day with the heat. I thoroughly enjoyed this place and reagan was super responsive and helpful as the host. I will definitely be back.
Without a doubt the BEST vrbo property in Houston proper. Our host Reagan was so accommodating and responsive I felt almost a little guilty sending her a message early one morning. But it didn't matter! Day, night, after hours, whatever the time she replied almost immediately and was super kind and helpful in all of her responses.The house itself is a rare find. A true VRBO unicorn! There were 8 adults at the house (4 couples) all of us in our 40s. It's so hard to find a house with not only 4 bedrooms, but 4 separate bathrooms AND 4 KING SIZED BEDS. The amenities were great, the pool, the billiard table, etc, all added to a fun holiday weekend. Thank you Reagan!

About the host
Hosted by Reagan Grissom
Welcome fellow travelers! I am excited to have you. I have been privileged to travel the world and stay in so many wonderful Short Term Rentals/Vacation homes and interacted with such fantastic hosts. This has inspired me to provide a similar experience in my hometown. My goal is to provide you with an exceptional stay at my home in central Houston. I aim to provide all the niceties of the best hotels and the comfort of a private home in a centrally located and refined neighborhood. I’m here to make sure that you have a five star experience, do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. Enjoy your stay!
Why they chose this property
I chose the Upper Kirby neighborhood for its perfect balance of energy and livability. It’s one of Houston’s most desirable areas, known for its walkable streets, incredible dining, and close proximity to some of the city’s best shopping and entertainment.
You’re just minutes from places like River Oaks, the Galleria, and Downtown, while still being in a neighborhood that feels relaxed and residential. It offers that rare combination of convenience and atmosphere—where everything is nearby, but it never feels overwhelming.
For me, it’s the ideal place to experience Houston in a way that feels both elevated and effortless.
What makes this property unique
What makes this home truly unique is how intentionally it’s designed for comfort, privacy, and ease. Every bedroom features a king bed, its own TV, and a direct connection to a bathroom—giving each guest a space that feels private and well-appointed.
The outdoor area is just as inviting, with a private pool and grill that make it easy to relax or gather without ever leaving the home. A private garage adds another layer of convenience, making arrivals and departures simple and seamless.
Altogether, it’s a space that’s been thoughtfully set up to feel comfortable, functional, and just a little elevated from the typical stay.
