This property was spacious and accommodating for our group of 22! We each had enough space individually as needed, but also had more than enough space in (Unit A) as we came together for meals each day. The look of the area had us a little concerned when we first arrived, but we felt at ease within an hour. This is a great property for large groups!

More than enough
My family had the opportunity to stay at this home as we brought the New Year in Houston. The neighborhood look sketchy. However, the owner has gone above and beyond to ensure the safety of the home and the guests which I greatly appreciate. The was more than enough rooms to accommodate the 5 families. Everyone had their own room and bathroom. The multiple kitchens and laundry was a plus.The backyard was a wonderful oasis. Great place to lounge and have great conversations. Although it was too cold to get in the hot tub, we can’t wait to return to give it a try. The owner was very responsive and available to assist with any questions I had throughout our stay. I highly recommended if you are hosting a large group.

Great for our team retreat!
This property was a perfect fit for our team retreat. It was clean, spacious and all 8 of us got our own bedroom/ bathroom. The owner was prompt with communication and handled issues quickly. The hot tub and outdoor areas were a great bonus. The neighborhood was not very walkable and it is outside of the downtown area. It was also not ideal that a train and a rooster woke many of us up each day. The house it’s self is five stars, the location left something to be desired. But if you intend to stay in the house, it is great!
