We stayed for 2 months while house shopping. AJ and her crew were helpful and organized. If I ever needed anything, they did more than expected and faster than expected. Thanks very much for making my family's first 2 months in Texas easy!

Nice house in an established neighborhood. Location couldn't be better: 30 minutes from Houston, Galveston, Clear Lake/Nasa and tons of shops nearby. The house was furnished with basics for a long stay. The hosts were absolutely amazing - really proactive with any issues and super-communicative.

AJ and Taylar were good hosts that cared about our comfort, their communication and responsiveness were top notch. Our 5 star rating is for the house being as described and their willingness to immediately attend to our needs. The house is clean and livable, in a convenient, quiet location, we would definitely stay again. Internet and television worked perfectly. The home’s construction and appliances while workable, are not top quality. The kitchen utensils, cups, glasses, bath towels are stocked and again, while usable are not best quality. I state this to share my opinion/experience, these things would not keep us from staying again. The beds and bedding were comfortable and quite nice. This was an overall good stay. Thank you, AJ and Taylor!

This home was beautifully appointed, comfortable and has everything you need in a home away from home. The location is superb with easy access to Houston, NASA, Kemah or Galveston. AJ and her team respond quickly to any questions, problems or needs that you may have.
