We had a great stay with 9 people. The house is large and has the old house charm with some very nice renovations. Plenty of room and a great outdoor space. Near downtown and convenient location. The house is large and a bit overwhelming at first. Tyler, the host was very responsive when we had questions. I recommend that one of the first things to do is look at the house guide, my questions would have been answered if I had opened that up first. I noticed that when Tyler sent the link for the House guide via the VRBO inbox, I wasn’t able to open the link from there. You will find a QR code on the fridge for the guide. It works great! Very nice stay and very good host.

Very Inconvenient
The house overall is OK. However, many improvements need to be made before it should be rented again. See below.1. The kitchen floor is rotten.2. The dishwasher has been leaking for years.3. The washers and dryers are all connected to ONE surge protector, and it trips if you turn more than one on at the same time.4. One bedroom is only accessible through the bathroom or one of the other bedrooms.5. The management answered the phone by TEXT only and hours later. But did answer every text.

Would skip next time
There are only 2 bathrooms in the house. The other is in the space above the garage that we were not able to get the code to work. The pictures and furniture are not what is in the house. The towels that are provided are old and stained with bleach. No hair dryer or soaps were provided. Once we checked in some of the group felt uncomfortable in the house and went and checked into a hotel or with local friends. The plugs are not 3 prong in the upstairs bedrooms so you can’t plug in laptop. Overall if it’s a family it might work with the layout. But really needs to buy new towels and some basic things that are just not there.

Great for large groups…
We were looking for a large house to accommodate family and have a place for a small wedding ceremony. The house had plenty of space for everyone and Tyler was prompt with responses to questions leading up to our stay; as well as checking in to see how things were going during our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and a good place for taking a walk in the morning or evening beneath the oak trees lining the street. Our only wish was that there were more towels for drying off after a soak in the hot tub. We had a great time with family and celebrating our special day! The pool room and theater room were great for entertaining everyone, and there is plenty of space throughout the home and outside in the garden area for guests to have space. Thanks Tyler!

This was a very neat and artistic getaway downtown with some really interesting pieces. The fencing enclosing the property gives it quite a bit of privacy. My family particularly enjoyed the movie room, the pool table and the hot tub.

Wow! What a Place!
This property celebrated is 100th birthday during our stay and brought all of the character and history you might expect with such a property. First of all, not many properties can boast “Sleeps 20” but this one definitely does! While we didn’t have nearly that many in our party, we checked it out and the beds were there. While there were only two bathrooms, they were oversized and family or friendly friends could be in the same bathroom without crowding. Unfortunately, we had to do a little work during part of our stay, and we were able to spread out and set up our laptops without interfering with each other. Unique and different art -from quite old to contemporary-was in each room. While close to downtown, the inside of the house was quiet and we slept like angels each night! It’s a terrific place for entertaining, with a pool table room, cozy nooks, and an outside oasis that can’t be beat. The outside had multiple seating areas, a cornhole game and beautiful vegetation! Plus an oversized lighted hot tub to relax in at the end of the day! If you are coming to Houston during Covid, you can certainly socially distance here. We are looking forward to coming back as soon as we can!

AMAZING STAY... Exotic place! my guests LOVED it!
This was my 2nd time booking this fantastic property! I hosted my 2nd annual chairty auction here with over 50 guests and 18 people stayed the night. Lots of parking for my guests. Street is very private and safe. The neighborhood is upscale and very nice. Property is perfect for entertaining. Very open and spacious with tons of room for mingling. 14 mattresses (3 airbeds) made sleeping a dream. The Casper mattresses were so nice to sleep on! Most other homeaway beds I've slept on leave you sore the next day and are very hard to fall asleep on the cheap mattresses. There were lots of fun ammenities to entertain my guests from the pool table, ping pong table, cornhole, bar games, board games, lots of cooking equipment, HUGE hottub, and beautiful movie projector to make us feel like we were at the movies. The value for the cost was very good and these are some memories we will have to last a life time. Would recommend to anyone wanting to host an event or party just outside of downtown houston 3 minutes from minute maid stadium.
