    Michelle B from Sacramento, CA recommends this vacation rental

    We were very happy with our stay. We did have problems with the air conditioner in the coach house that was fixed immediately. What I didn't know at the time was that the air conditioner for the upstairs wasn't working either. Also, we had a hard time
    with the door key on one day.

  • House was comfortable and clean and in a great location. Loved the charm of this 1903 home. Only problem was that it was advertised having WIFI and didn't, a bit inconvenient... my ipod showed I had logged all in correctly, but no internet.

    Steven H from Wills Point, TX recommends this vacation rental

    We were happy with our stay overall. Very quaint home. The carriage house was a hit with our newlyweds in the upper floor and younger son in the lower floor. They had privacy, and it was really a perfect place for the whole family. Only complaints we had were the lack of towels, no blinds in the main house for privacy (even in the bathrooms), and a lot of missing light bulbs in various places.
    Our newlyweds accidentally left their champagne glasses at the house, and didn't realize they were missing until we got home. The management company went back to the house, found the glasses and mailed them back to us. That kind of good service is hard to find! I definitely recommend the house and the management company. Thanks for a nice stay!

    Michael M from Savannah, Texas recommends this vacation rental

    Great house, my only complaint is that the shower temp selection was broke(they came and fixed it mid-stay), the water pressure was not good and on Tuesday it rained and there was a water leak above the French doors that puddled slightly in the dining room. Although there were issues, it was a charming house for it's age.

    Mark P from The Woodlands, TX recommends this vacation rental

    We very much enjoyed the spacious house with separate bedrooms in the rear Carriage House. It allowed us plenty of space. The house is located in a very nice area on the east end of the island and is only a couple of blocks from the water. Beautiful old homes, the beach, the Lonestar WWII Aviation Museum, Nasa's Space Center, Moody Gardens, and much more. A great place to visit and a great place to stay. Thank you very much.

    James Brandon H from Pearland, TX recommends this vacation rental

    The house was still being remodeled. The front door has an ill-fitting board where a glass insert used to be. The downstairs bedroom in the "carriage house" needs a door. The air conditioner in the main house wasn't cooling but I figured out that it was because the air filter hadn't been changed in ages and was clogged (worked fine after changing). Also, a shower curtain in the main bathroom would be nice. Other than needing a few finishing touches the house was great and overall, I was happy with our experience.

    a guest from Cape Girardeau, MO recommends this vacation rental

    The house was attractive and tastefully decorated. The location was near our activity at the convention center. There were some roaches which I understand is normal for the Texas coast, but that didn't make it any less creepy. All in all it was worth the money. Reasonably priced. If you are not extremely picky you would probably be satisified with the house.
