What Guests Are Saying
“Jessica was a great host and we loved the place. Would definitely come back!”
“We had a group of 17 from our nonprofit, Mentor Waco, for a college tour trip in the Houston area, and this home in La Porte was perfect for our stay! The students absolutely loved the pool—we spent so much time in the backyard enjoying it. The home was spacious and comfortable, huge beds and plenty of room for everyone to relax. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and had enough space for us to cook meals together, which made things easy and enjoyable. Although we didn’t use the garage apartment, it was such a nice extra touch and would be great for a larger group or family needing more privacy. Honestly, we were a bit nervous because of some of the previous reviews, but our experience was nothing like what others mentioned. Every single room and feature looked exactly as pictured. clean, well-kept, and ready to enjoy. We’re so glad we chose this property and would definitely book again for future trips. Thank you for helping make our students’ experience great! -Mentor Waco”
“Check in was easy. We loved this home. Very spacious with plenty of room to spread out. The 13 of us each had our own beds and there were still beds to spare. The home is very well stocked with everything you need to eat and prepare meals. There was plenty of soap, paper towels, toilet paper and other household items. Plenty of towels as well. The gameroom was great and kept 7 kids well entertained. Checkout was a few simple tasks and we were on our way. We will definitely book again. Thanks again Jessica for hosting us.”
“Great place to stay! Loved hanging out on the hammocks out back. The only downfall was the electricy not working in one of the bedrooms and the arcade games are a bit outdated, 2 didn't even want to turn on. Other than that, everything was great!”
