The property was a nice place but the mosquitoes on the outside of the property attacked us every time we went outside. Even in the daylight. The wifi was not available at all. Other than that the stay was nice.

Quaint Home w/ everything Needed for Family Fun
Aside from several issues with the lockbox entry key (auto), our stay was very Nice. The property has been renovated very well, the rooms were cool and the bathrooms were super nice, especially Master Shower. Additionally the kitchen and living areas were perfect for family game/movie nights. The property is fenced in, which gives great privacy and helps with feeling safe. We didn’t utilize the water front access but would recommend doing so, we did take a look and it seems like great place to fish. Overall Good stay and would consider returning for any family trips to the area, short drive to Kemah and not far from downtown Houston.

Beautiful Home
Beautiful and nicely appointed home exactly as pictured. Very spacious, was more than enough room for us. Conveniently located close to the highway and just 20-30inutes to Houston. Alexandra was very hospitable and a great communicator. We had a snafu with using the keyless entry (that was on us! 😩) but she graciously gave us a key.
