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.

Great stay

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.

This place was totally worth it, We had 3 adults and 5 kids for four days. The listing is accurate, the home was in good order and well-stocked. No disappointments! We would book this one again in a second.
