The house was amazing and kept up very well. The bed was so comfortable and the hot tub was fantastic. We didn’t get a chance to ride the bikes and we were looking forward to that, unfortunately our short schedule didn’t allow for that. The house was super clean and comfortable. We will be back.

Great property for being 117 YO, few mins away from all the must visit spots, along with sea wall, pleasure pier and about 30 mins from kemah broadwalk and Jamaica beach. My 3yr old dog enjoyed the stay, very cute spot. Hosts were very responsive and attentive to our needs. Best for the price! for a small family, 10/10 recommend
