Superb in every way!

Wonderful location in a nice neighborhood.Several co-workers stayed while working at the Houston Yacht Club over a couple of months. Not only is it a nice apartment, the hosts went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. This included home baked goodies and tours of the area!

Winter getaway pl

Rental was perfect for us. Had a wonderful fenced in yard for our furbaby. We only had to bring our clothes and food. Everything else was provided by our hosts. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely rent from Barry and Jan again.

Galveston Bay Delight

This property was an amazing place to stay. I loved having the opportunity to wake early and take a walk and watch the sun, rise above Galveston Bay. In the afternoon, I often sat outside and watched my dog enjoy the fenced in yard and I enjoyed the sunsets. I was so excited to see pelicans sitting on a dock,and on another occasion I saw 3 porpoises swim along the dock on their way out to deeper waters in the bay. Jan and Barry are experienced hosts and offer their expertise and knowledge about events and activities in the area. It is a fun, safe, and friendly place to spend your vacation.

Comfortable, Cozy, Cute

This was a perfect place for my son to stay during the week he took classes at San Jacinto College Maritime Campus. The apartment was well-stocked and large enough for 1- 3 adults or a family of 4 with younger children. The owners were very helpful. Jan has some pet turtles which she keeps in a wonderful habitat outside. She was nice enough to tell us about them and allowed my son to pick a couple of them up. The apartment, as my title says, is comfortable, cozy and cute. We were also able to walk on the neighborhood's private pier in late evening, which was nice. It seems to be a family oriented neighborhood. I recommend staying here.
