About this property

Casa da Vida: Heated Pool, 4 BR/2.5 BA, Private Yard & Grill

Welcome to your tranquil haven in the heart of Bryan, Texas! "Casa da Vida" promises a memorable stay for large groups up to 14 guests, offering 4 relaxing bedrooms, 2.5 Baths, and beautiful outdoor space with a year-round plunge pool! Whether you're visiting for a family reunion, academic conference at Texas A&M, or exploring the rich history at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum, our home provides a delightful mix of Comfort, convenience, and Southern charm.

Our home has been completely remodeled to bring a fresh new look to the Enchanted Oaks community in Bryan, Texas. It still holds its original character and charm and is unique in its own right. The mature oak trees and luscious landscaping greet you as you make your way around the circle drive. The home sits on 1/3 of an acre! There is ample parking for all of your guests on site.

Upon entering with the keypad entry, you will be greeted by the staircase and the 1st living room. It is outfitted with a massive sectional that has room for 9, a TV and a reading nook. Under the tv., there is a treasure chest with board games. Log onto our 1 Gigabyte WIFI to enjoy the exceptionally fast streaming speed. The stairs are to the left which lead to the 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms.

Heading to the back of the house, there is a half bath with a stunning hand painted landscape. The kitchen, dining room and second living room greet you with an abundance of natural light and an open concept. The kitchen has a large farmhouse sink, gorgeous granite countertops, gas range, oven, large side by side refrigerator with water and ice dispenser, microwave, dishwasher, air fryer, crock pot, cookware, bakeware, coffee bar and an eating bar with two bar stools. It’s stocked with all the essentials to make meals at home. Outside we have a propane grill.

On the other side of the kitchen, you’ll find the massive laundry room, office and ample storage. Feel free to use our washer and dryer during your stay as we always keep it stocked. A highchair, pack n play, baby gates and more can be found in the laundry room. We have a steamer, iron and ironing board. Plan a fun game night as we have a full-size foldable poker table that fits right on top of our dining room table. Have a poker night or try your hand at Texas Hold 'em.

The farmhouse style dining room table has room for 8. It was handmade using the previous spindles that once separated the dining room from the living room. The second living room is centered by the wood burning large gas fireplace and has an abundance of natural light from two skylights. A couch and 4 chairs with numerous blankets await you. Gather around the wood burning fireplace or head outside to sit on the fabulous patio and light up a fire in our fire pit. The massive backyard is southwest facing and is exceptional at sunset. You’ll love spending time outdoors at our home!

Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms.
Bedroom 1: 2 twins and a rollaway twin
Bedroom 2: 1 queen
Bedroom 3: 1 king
Bedroom 4/Primary: 2 queens with an en suite full bathroom that has a shower. This bedroom is outfitted with an additional vanity, stool and mirror.

There is a second bathroom in the hallway that has a shower and tub combo. Each bedroom has lush carpet, room darkening curtains/blinds and closets with hangers to use during your stay.

We improved our HVAC system by adding an additional zone upstairs (located in the 2 queen bedroom) to ensure our guests are always comfortable. We have excellent internet - 1 gigabyte. We also have an eero mesh network to ensure our internet covers the entire property!

Our backyard has a covered patio, bar/serving area with seating for 3, propane gas grill, decorative lighting, table or bar that is on rollers with seating for 6, firepit with seating for 4, large picnic table for 8 people with an umbrella and a huge fenced in yard with a 8’x14’ plunge pool with jets, sun shelf, seating and heating capabilities in the winter months. 4 sun loungers and accent lighting make this home a fantastic choice. We also have two sets of corn hole for you and your guests to use and ladderball. You’ll LOVE our outdoor oasis.

Relax at the Casa da Vida and enjoy your time in the heart of Bryan-College Station. We can’t wait to welcome you!

Updates & Amenities are Amazing!

If you have the chance to stay here, do it. It is beautifully decorated and the lay out is comfortable for a small to a large family/friend gathering. The new outdoor space with lounging pool is wonderful! With everything you could ever need and not have to leave the house (except for food of course), this is the place you need to stay at!

About the host

Hosted by Shelby Cooper

Host profile image
Howdy! Real Estate, Interior design, remodeling and philanthropy are my passions. I graduated with my BBA in Marketing and my Masters in Real Estate from Texas A&M. I’m a licensed Texas Realtor and my Company, Infinity Concierge Inc., is a full-service boutique real estate firm. My short-term management company is, ManageWay! Check out our add-on's concierge services! I would love to help make your stay even more exceptional. Helping clients acquire investment properties that suit their investment goals in the Bryan-College Station area is a true passion of mine. From long and short term management, buying, selling or leasing; I do it all! I love Aggieland and all the community has to offer. I love to cook, bake, entertain and do DIY projects. My signature dish is a bourbon glazed tenderloin. I have two dogs, a cat and also raise Wagyu and brangus cattle with my family. Reciprocity, Honesty and the Golden Rule are a few things I value the most. Let me know how I can help make your time in Aggieland exceptional! : )

Why they chose this property

I personally remodeled this once dilapidated home in September of 2020. The previous owner had not set foot in it for 7 years and their property management company fell short on the upkeep. Making this house feel like a home was of the upmost importance to me. I hope guests truly enjoy what this home has to offer. It is spacious and comfortable with all the amenities one may need during their stay. I have spend a lot of time ensuring my guests needs are met and we exceed expectations. We are a older home that has character, charm and some quirks but I am so excited to welcome you to stay!

What makes this property unique

The year-round plunge pool will be a wonderful addition! (Construction is underway). The sun sets perfectly so the backyard is an oasis in the evening. The kitchen is fantastic for entertaining. The two living rooms makes accommodating big groups with different preferences a breeze. The access to Hwy 6 is amazing - literally right down the road. St. Joseph hospital is right down the street along with fantastic restaurants, grocery stores and shops!
