Houston Bungalow Bliss

The Comfy & Quiet Bungalow was delightful! My husband and I stayed for a month. The neighborhood is super quiet and yet walkable to coffee shops, restaurants, etc. the neighborhood has lots of trees and sidewalks good for strolling or walking a dog. The home is well appointed with everything you could need in the kitchen and convenient touches throughout such as places to hang coats, towels, mobile device chargers and an in home stereo system. The outdoor space is super good too--a private back deck/patio with a gas grill, fire pit and large patio table for dining. The home also has a private side yard with cafe tables. The beds were very comfy. There was a business nook in the kitchen and I used it almost every day to work from home. Last, but not least, our hosts were super friendly and very responsive to any questions we had. We have stayed in 3 VRBOs in Houston and this is home is our favorite. We will definitely stay here again!

Perfect Little Bungalow!

Jonathon is a very gracious host. Anything you need or have questions about he is immediately available. We needed a place to stay for a month when our house sold quickly. This was a perfect interim space to stay. Great location with easy access to freeway and walkable to the park. It is very dog friendly and has a great front patio. We can't thank Jonathon enough for being so wonderful!

Perfect home away from home!

We had a wonderful time staying in Gingerbread Casa over the holidays, for a full 2 months. Our hosts couldn't have been more gracious and helpful, and the house itself is equipped with all anyone could need even for such a lengthy stay. The location is ideal, in the midst of the charming and historic Woodland Heights area, within easy walking distance of dozens of shops, restaurants, parks, and other attractions, and just a short drive to downtown and Houston's wonderful museums. We plan on returning soon and can't imagine staying anywhere else!

Excellent Experience

This property is within a nice safe neighborhood, this is our first experience with using VBRO and we not have been more pleased. We had just a couple of questions and the manager responded immediately. If you need to travel to Houston we would highly recommend this property. It was within walking distance of a store and coffee shop and the area itself had many interesting individually owned restaurants. It was within a couple of miles of downtown. When we return to Houston we will check to see if this property is available. Felt like home away from home with so many amenities including a full kitchen washer and dryer and anything you could ever need. Highly recommend.

The perfect home away from home!

This wonderful home was perfect for my stay in Houston. The Heights is a great area, and this home is in the perfect neighborhood. The house is very clean, well stocked with necessities, has a beautiful backyard and front porch and side porch areas. I loved the full sized kitchen with wonderful appliances. The technology in the home is very current. There are at least 2 separate work areas, one with a monitor and printer. Fortunately, the owner of the home lives close by if something comes up. Jonathan is a great communicator, as well as being extremely kind and a dog whisperer! The neighbors are very hospitable, as well. Parking is in front of the house, but the neighbors look out for each other and welcome you to park in front of their homes, if needed. I would absolutely recommend staying in this home and I hope to again the next time I visit.

Best manager ever, best neighborhood ever

Jonathan is super attentive and went above and beyond to make sure my stay was perfect (and that my dogs had all they needed too!). The house is charming with up-to-date technology and great amenities like various outdoor seating areas, a really nice grill, and a well-stocked supplies. I've run across 2 types of VRBO properties--some are designated as rentals in high-tourist areas, and they're slickly decorated and managed by a company. Others feel like you're stepping in someone's home, with more eclectic touches and authentic charm--this is the latter, so you may be trading off on more modern features like huge closets and bathrooms. However, the Heights location cannot be beat, with its residents that embody Texas friendliness and its small-town charm. Kick your feet up on the porch swing and watch the world go by from this charming bungalow with a neighboorhood feel. Jonathan will make sure everything is taken care of exactly to your liking. Highly recommended!

Excellent Property and Manager

The property and manager exceeded my expectations: great location, very nice house(it had everything that we wanted and more), lots of street parking, friendly neighbors, professional and friendly manager. My wife, 2 sons home from college and I stayed at the house for over a month and we were very comfortable. There are lots of restaurants and more you can walk to. The house has a very nice back yard with a large grill and table. In the early mornings my wife and I would sit on the front porch swing, drink coffee and read. The manager even loaned us a couple of his bikes that we road to downtown. I'd definitely recommend staying here!

2017 Christmas stay at the Gingerbread House

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Gingerbread house. Everything was great. The house is adorable and everything worked great. We found some radio controlled cars in the dining room and had fun racing them on the driveway. The porch and patio were very nice and relaxing. There is a great coffee shop within one block for morning coffee. Though the coffee maker in the house worked fine. I would definitely like to stay here again and recommended it to all. Terry

House was great. The location was perfect, the beds were comfortable- even the foldout in the living room, and the house had all the amenities that we needed. Jonathan has a great place and was very friendly and available for any questions we had. The TV set up was a bit confusing, but once we figured it out, we didn't have any further issues.
