Upscale Waterfront Condo on beautiful Clear Lake!
Wonderful place. So relaxing sitting on the balcony watching the water. We sat there every morning before a busy day of AI competition and every night to unwind. Loved having the washing machine so I could wash everything before we moved on to the next place to visit family before our 20hr drive back to Ohio

Your Perfect Coastal Oasis Vacation
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The host, Huyen, was incredibly accommodating and very responsive throughout our visit. It was the perfect place to get away and relax. A solid 10 out of 10 — I’ll definitely be returning and recommending it to anyone planning a trip to the area!

Sun and Lake
Awesome 2-Bed 2-Bathroom home. Trey is a very responsive and helpful host. The layout and decor is open and very clean, and the outlook to the back is relaxing. Highly recommended and hope to be returning soon

Trinity Bay Private Pool Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at Jonathan’s house! It was spacious, clean, and perfect for the two of us. The backyard was peaceful and was a nice spot to relax. The heated pool was a great bonus, especially on cooler nights. The host was very easy to communicate with and made everything smooth from start to finish. Everything was just as described. We'd definitely come back!

The Lake Houston Weekend Escape
Excellent Airbnb — very clean and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. We especially appreciated all the baby items, which made our stay much easier. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted by a beautiful view of the lake through the large kitchen window. Our stay was comfortable, relaxing, and thoroughly enjoyable. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a peaceful weekend on the lake.

Waterfront Lonestar Cabin in a Magical Forest!
We had a wonderful time at the magical forest. It was a good getaway from all the hustle and bustle. Everything was just as described. We lit a fire and enjoyed chatting out on the deck overlooking the water. I flipped the canoe the first day we were there and had everyone rolling. At the time I didn’t think it was so funny. The water was a bit cold at first! I enjoyed the feeding the fish and just the peace and quiet of it all. We walked the trails and swam in the pool. I noticed that there was wedding arbor which looked like a great spot for a country wedding. AC kept it nice and cool and the WiFi was very strong. Plenty of stuff to watch and steaming services to use when you want to relax and watch something. We loved the high ceilings and windows overlooking the water and the morning sun shining through. This is a great place to get away and Aimee was a great host. She was quick to respond the few times we had questions. Loved our trip to Magical Forest!

This will always be my place to stay when ever I visit Texas if it’s available This was the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at the host was just amazing I recommend this house to anyone staying in or around that area thank you so much for your hospitality

4 bed, Lake house, Movie room
We had a wonderful stay at Mr. Lorenzo’s home! The house was immaculately clean, beautifully updated, and incredibly spacious perfect for our mothers’ gathering. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. What truly made our experience even better there was lots of entertainment options that kept everyone happy and engaged. It allowed us to enjoy our time without any stress. This was truly a fantastic place, and we’d be more than happy to book it again in the future!

Jackie & Jill’s home was very comfortable for the week we stayed here. It’s equipped with all the things you’ll need and the surroundings (a little lake, ducks, turtle) is so placid and unexpected. Thank you for the stay!

Charming Waterfront 2 Bedroom Townhouse
Emily was a pleasure to work with. As with any vacation rental, getting settled needs answers from the owner. Emily responded within 10 minutes. The kitchen had everything you needed to live in the space for long term. We were there a month and was able to cook all meals, store leftovers, do a bunch of baking…it was great

Very nice Condo and close to Galveston and Houston for a fun filled time.
