Good location

We enjoyed our stay. There was a furnace issue in early January, but the contact person quickly corrected the problem. The apartment had so many kitchen and linen/bedroom items. It was well stocked -- even had some grocery items in the pantry. I do wish the TV carried Fox News, the Weather Channel, and ESPN.

Restful and convenient

This property is convenient to M.D. Anderson in League City and we were so glad to find a place near the hospital for a month stay. This property was quiet and the art created a peaceful atmosphere. The location was convenient to shopping, restaurants and parks a great fit for our needs.

Condo 1 star - Owners 0 stars

I guess if you are reading this review you might be thinking of renting this condo. My advice is don’t. The description & photos provided by the owner, who is a writer & professional photographer, in my view, use a copious amount of artistic licence & significantly mis-represent her condo. I emailed the owner after our first day to advise how bitterly disappointed we were & identified many things that fall well below her description & modern expectations. I hoped to share the emails I sent & photos with you, but Vrbo do not allocate adequate space in this review to do so. To give you a flavour: the condo is basic & very tired, cheery no - dreary yes, musty smell throughout, patio boxed in by a 6ft high fence, dilapidated old bar-b-q outside the front door, damaged blinds, kitchen cupboard shared by food, broom/mop & trash, fridge & freezer with opened leftover food, bedroom closet a junk room, kitchenware & utensils all oddments (owner stated they had been ‘re-purposed’ from her mother), small cupboard under ac vent looks like a dungeon entrance. And so on. On day 3 the owners husband made an unannounced visit on the pretext of addressing the pervading musty smell throughout the condo, being masked by air fresheners everywhere. He stated, if we wanted ‘we could move to a hotel at our cost’ & ‘the money’s ours’ - ‘this is Texas’. How about that for cordial hospitality? We vacated after 5 days; ‘we could not stay any longer as it was ruining our holiday.’ The owner describes her condo as having ‘all the amenities of a luxury hotel’. Never in a million years (since I emailed her the owner has edited her overview & removed the word ‘luxury’, but this doesn’t alter the reality). In essence it is a low rate condo on a low rent complex. If you decide to rent after reading this review your expectations should be low & then you won’t be disappointed. By the way, her husband was right; the money is theirs. They were not even courteous enough to authorise a refund for the remainder of our rental. Engaging Vrbo Traveller Care involves hours on the phone & many unanswered emails. They are world class at ‘kicking the can down the road’, hoping the traveller loses the will to live. All talk - no action - no feedback. Spare yourself a large helping of disappointment & hassle; choose alternative accommodation.

Affordable and clean

If you’re looking for a place to stay at this price point it was great. Clean apartment, nicely decorated, and responsive owner. I would suggest a few updates though, such as a new toilet seat as the one in the apartment is scuffed up. A ceiling fan in the bedroom would be a plus, too. Overall, an affordable play to stay in a great location.

The property was very well kept and clean!

We liked the property very much, it was very clean. We would recommend it to anyone who needed a one bedroom rental. The TV had multiple channels to pick from to watch anything you wanted. There are many things in the area to do and plenty of shopping too. Th neighbors were very friendly and informative about the area. We had a great month in their condo. Thank you for your hospitality

Just as expected!

The pictures are accurate! The condo was just as expected. My family of 4 enjoyed our stay here. It was just the right size for my husband, myself, our 5 year old, and 1 year old. It was really nice that they had a pack and play available! The neighbors were all really nice and friendly. We enjoyed the pool, and the park and splash pad across the street. The owners were great about answering any questions we had! The only thing I didn't like about the condo was that it smelled like smoke. All the neighbors smoke, so I'm not sure if that is where it was coming from or not, but all of our things smelled like smoke and had be rewashed when we got home.

This is a seaside community with Clear Lake at the end of the street which feeds into Galveston Bay. The neighborhoods are known for the homes of astronauts and million dollar homes on the water.

The NASA Space Center is a 5 minute drive, Kemah Boardwalk is a 5 minute drive and the condo is located half-way between Galveston Island and Houston with a about a 35-40 minute drive each way. There are many things to see and do in this popular vacation area.
