The property was great, the dock was amazing and we enjoyed the pool! It was just what we needed for 4th of July weekend and we saw fireworks from the top of the boat dock.
A great place to stay with your family. It has a little something for everyone to do on this property. We fished, swam, cooked outside & took our buggys to the xtreme off road park for some fun & came back to relax at a quiet secluded house towards the end of the street.
This property was exactly what we needed! (We didn’t need ask the rain from the tropical storm though.) We enjoyed all aspects of the home, inside & out. There were a few things that needed to be updated but otherwise, we have no complaints.
My daughter and I came to Rio Villa for a funeral. My grandmother passed and had lived down there for 70 years. We were, by some miracle, able to stumble on this little gem. Exactly what we needed and we were able to share The River one more time w our families! A million thanks to the incredibly kind and accomidating owners. Yall made it a one in a million memory for me and my family! Eternally grateful! :) Harms Family

Best vacation home
The house was beautiful, had everything you needed . If I needed anything they responded quickly. Everything was clean all family members kept busy they had fun yard games . The decks all over were my favorite. You could sit in the sun or if it got to hot you could sit in the shade 😎. Sit on the swing hanging over the water. I would highly recommend for the perfect family vacation. It was so close to things to do . We went to the space center only about 45 min drive . The pool was really awesome being in front of the river so beautiful at night with all the lights out in the deck area and swimming area. I never wanted to leave . Thank you for this wonderful time we spent in your home. Planning on coming back again .

Just lovely!
Definitely had a fantastic time! Everything you need to have a great time with the kids. Plenty of life jackets, loved the kayak, pool and used the deck a lot for fishing and floating. Kids loved the theater room! Enough of space and blankets to have movie night for everyone in the living room as well. Loved the fire pit outside and under house deck for night fun. Loved this place!
Communication was excellent! The house was clean, in great condition, and the dock outside was really neat! I would definitely stay here again when in the area!

Girls weekend getaway!
The house was beautiful and nicely stocked. Six of us stayed for a girls weekend getaway. Loved that it was close to Houston's retail and restaurants, and yet was so quiet and felt secluded. The upstairs and downstairs bedrooms are very well divided, so half of us stayed up late and it wasn’t disruptive to the others at all, and the wifi signal was strong. The Master bedroom was equipped with a coffee maker, and it's own private patio - I enjoyed a cup of coffee while enjoying the sunrise.
Looked like it had enough stuff to cook, but we opted for delivery from Star Wok and took the chance and ordered food from take away from the gas station-both places were delish! The house offers plenty outdoor space and an outdoor fire pit. The owner was super friendly and told us to let him know if we needed anything.

family time on the river
We are a retired couple, we have visited several vacation homes, we booked our stay at Riostar so that we could spend time together with my daughter her husband and our two grand girls. The house is very clean and nicely equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed. There were games and movies provided. My wife and I like to get up early so having a coffee maker in the room and a private patio to enjoy the sunrise was perfect. We took the girls to the Houston aquarium which was close by. But their favorite was s’mores by the fire pit and hot chocolate by the fireplace after game night. This property is outstanding we will definitely book again in the summer in order to enjoy some more time together as a family and in the river.
