We really enjoyed staying at this house. The host Lorena kept in touch during the stay. Coffee bar was well stocked and Lorena thoughtfully provided snacks. The house was centrally located to all the activities we did and a great stop before continuing on to our cruise. We would definitely stay here again!
Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Bottled water and chips on table upon arrival was a nice touch. Appreciated the laundry facilities and detergent. Nice homey feel.
We loved our short visit. Although we mostly hung out at families house there is so much to do and all in a reasonable distance. The little house is so cute and was clean, host was easy to contact. Although we decided to leave our pet home it is pet friendly, they have a nice fenced in back yard. Would definitely book again.
We loved staying at this cottage! It was perfect for us. It's such a cute and cozy place to stay. We had everything we needed. The decor is so cute We loved the fenced in porch for our little dog and the fenced in backyard for him.The location is perfect for everywhere we wanted to go, especially the short walk to the beach. Small drive to bigger beaches also.Everything pleasing and fun for our preteen and young adults, they had a ball . My granddaughter who loves all animals, loved seeing the deer, she saw eight of them one of the nights. I could go on and on. The stay here has created a lasting precious memory with my daughter and my grandkids. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage!
The kitchen is fully equipped with supplies. They gave us plenty of nice towels. There’s plenty of supplies for grilling, outdoor fun, and board games. I don’t know about the tv; we didn’t use it. The washer & dryer was an added bonus. Love the coffee & tea station. We ran out of sugar and they brought some over; which is very thoughtful. We felt very comfortable there. When we visit Houston again, I will definitely book here again.
The house was very clean. Needed some extra throw blankets and dish towels. Decent old house that has a few condition issues but is overall comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet. The owner was available whenever I texted her. Some traffic congestion due to construction, but you are within a few miles from Kemah/Seabrook but you are not stuck in the middle of the congestion there. Has a fenced backyard.
Great place, comfortable,, clean and a great location 5 min to the Kemah boardwalk. Exactly what we were looking for. We were greeted with an easy self check in, lots of snacks and coffee and a wonderful backyard for the dog. Great little back porch was awesome i for coffee in the morning. Had everything we needed for the kitchen and great living room area. Thank you for having such a great go to book about the house, how to work the TV all the channels, things to do around town, directions to hospitals, grocery stores, entertainment, restaurants, etc. and the check out policy. It was very helpful.. I would definitely rent this one again loved it !!""
