Sweet Home. 3 BD-2.5 BA. Sleeps 6 / in between Galveston - Hou. πŸ˜πŸŒΊπŸ„πŸΌπŸ–

Sunny and bright interior with beachy-western feel, reflecting my Texas heritage. This house is close to HWY 517 which makes for an easy arrival and departure.

Clean, Quiet and Comfortable Home
We rented this home for 8 nights. It was very clean and comfortable. It was nicely furnished and tastefully decorated. We only used the master bedroom. It was very spacious, the king size bed was very comfortable and the sheets were soft and comfortable to sleep on. The master bath was great. We really enjoyed the step in shower. The kitchen was fully stocked and the cupboards and drawers were labeled so it was easy to find whatever you needed. We sent Carol a couple of texts with questions and she promptly responded. She had a book with information about the area, restaurants, information about the home, etc. which was very helpful. This book also had her house rules so there was no question of what you could or could not do. That was also very helpful. Carol was in contact with us before we arrived giving us information we needed. She was very nice and great to work with. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home. It was clean, quiet and comfortable which is what we were looking for while we were there. Thank you Carol for hosting us.

Wonderful experience
I’ve stayed at a handful of VBROs and most have been great, but this one takes the cake!! The property was beautiful and clean and spacious. Had all the comforts and even extras of home!! But Carol is what makes this place so special!! She met us on property, tools us through to make sure we knew where everything was, explained different things, suggested places to eat and things to do. After our stay Carol reached out to let us know we left behind an item and mailed it back to us. She checked on us throughout our stay, let us know to be aware of weather that maybe coming. She was absolutely AMAZING!! She has even reached out afterwards to check that we made it ho safe. Honestly I felt like I was family. I will definitely be staying again when we venture back!!

Why they chose this property

This property is close to so many areas. For example its 19 miles to Galveston and 23 miles to the Reliant Stadium. The home is only 12 miles to Nasa area. I've been told my place is quiet and peaceful, conveniently located and very roomy inside. Each room is themed with the master being the Wester Room, and the others are the Ocean Room and Texas Room. I hope you enjoy these rooms as much as i did decorating them.

What makes this property unique

This house is easy on and easy off to HWY 517 and HWY 6 is 3 miles away, HWY I-45 is 3 miles away. I'm 6 miles to Alvin, and 19 Miles to the beach.
