Lovely home on beautiful property
My family truly enjoyed our stay. The house was large and spacious so everyone as able to be together yet spread out. The property was amazing - pool, hot tub and on the water. We took several walks around the neighborhood and found the parks, tennis courts, etc.
The house is a bit dated and need of some minor repairs but all-in-all it was wonderful.
The host was very responsive and answered immediately when we texted with a need or a question.

The home was beautiful inside and out and in a very beautiful neighborhood. There were a few occurrences where I thought in my head “that could have been cleaned better”. Also the balcony in the master bedroom looks like it needs attention I didn’t and wouldn’t lean on that thing. Overall my stay was good, property contacts answered questions and were friendly. I loved the pool it was a beautiful scene. I would also recommend some type of pool cover for the moths get really bad every night and scooping them out everyday was annoying. Rooms were huge and sheets were cleaned. I give my stay a 4/5.

I should received a return of the cleaning fee as my girls and I cleaned this very large home when we arrived because it was not clean. The sanitation was lacking in kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. The refridgerator interior was gross to the point where I took pictures to send to the owner. I was extremely uncomfortable with being in a home that was not thoroughly cleaned after the previous guests especially since I previously requested that the owner ensure that COVID sanitation protocol were followed. Also upon arrival the pool was dirty so I immediately felt that my vacation was going to be off to a bad start. The owner informed me that the pool was cleaned every Thursday which I thought was ridiculous and extremely problematic when you don't clean the pool prior to the rental for the next guest. A pool guy came out that evening as I was not willing to wait to have the pool cleaned since I was checking in on Monday & leaving Friday. We were not able to use the pool until around 11pm or so after it was cleaned. There was an extra fee to heat up the hot tub, which is ridiculous since it is advertised as "hot" tub and pool. I was considering paying for it until I actually got to the property to observe the condition of the home & pool. The owner never offered to provide any monies or make amends for these things. It's a big house in a beautiful area but if you are accustomed to cleanliness, luxury and the service expectations of a "premiere property " then don't book this home based on the our experience with conditions & amenities this is NOT that place!

Everything about property was awesome and contact person was too. Working with Evolve is horrible, I will never use them again. Can't ever reach them, you stay on hold forever and then it just hangs up on you. Started out with Vrbo and some how it ended up being Evolve. We have used Vrbo before and had no problems...but Evolve is a whole different story. We tried off and on for a couple of months because of the covid situation, finally got a call back about a week before we were supposed to arrive at the rental, of course, by then it was too late to do anything. Evolve needs to work on customer service!

Perfect holiday stay
This was the perfect home for our family Thanksgiving get-together. The location could not have been better. The family enjoyed the pool, hot tub, nearby park and just gathering out on the patio taking in the peaceful views. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home we will certainly be back.

Beautiful property and amazing property manager
This property was absolutely gorgeous, even better than the pictures. Check-in process was easy and the property manager did an amazing job with communication. They were quick to respond and always seemed available, we definitely appreciated it.
The house is situated less than a 5 minute drive to NASA and the rooms were spacious and clean. We did ask for additional blankets but the property manager came right over and supplied those for us. Linens and towels were provided and clean which is the best when in a renting situation.
We did have a couple issues while we were here. The oven was broken and due to be installed the second day of our stay. Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of the property manager's control, it was delayed until the third day of our visit and was then installed incorrectly so we spent the entire visit without a stove and had to wait for the property manager to drop off a microwave mid-way through since that was also broken with the installation. Definitely a bummer since the kitchen was one of the reasons we chose the house. The kitchen also could have been better stocked from a pots/pans perspective, so not quite the "fully equipped gourmet kitchen" we were promised.
In order to turn on the hot tub and outdoor lighting, we needed to text the property manager which was a bit uncomfortable especially when we were out late (and made us feel guilty). That being said, they were always quick to respond and turn them on so that process wasn't awful.
Overall, this property and the property manager(s) are amazing. The views are gorgeous, the house is wonderful, and our experience was great. The couple of issues we did encounter, I'm sure, have been fixed. We would definitely come back again if we are ever in the Houston area.

Girls Weekend Retreat
We were disappointed with the property. The pictures online are very deceiving. Showed bigger pool.....3 hammocks that weren't there. Door that leads from breakfast area to outside patio would not stay shut. We had to put something in front of it the whole weekend. The door from the formal dining area that leads out to the pool area was coming apart on the door jam and trim. The A/C unit was not working right....very warm in the house. The filters when we checked them had caked on dust and dirt and looked like they had not been changed out in a year or more. The railing on the stairway was wobbly and loose. The railing out the master bathroom was broken and a liability if someone leaned on it and fell. The oven in the kitchen did not work and the owner said he had been dealing with repair man for months. We depended on the oven for our meals. We had to use the rickety bbq grill that was filthy and almost caught on fire because of the cheap grease catcher that dripped grease onto the propane bottle. There was no microwave as promised. The bluetooth did not work and the interior speakers were blown. The master shower would clog up every time you showered. The toilet in the hallway ran constantly.
After explaining all this to the owner, we still did not get any compensation. We have been using VRBO twice a year for several years now. Two other times we had some minor issues with a home and we were compensated. I do not recommend this place until all is fixed and working correctly.

Great property and owner, but didn't have a good experience with the property manager -- they were impossible to contact. I was, however, able to contact the owner and they were very responsive.

Nice house
This home was beautiful and in a beautiful location. We had plenty of towels and place for our whole family to be. The pool and patio area a beautiful and the home is very spacious.
The location to NASA can not be beat! Over all we liked the house and our stay. There are a few things that renters should be aware of, nothing major but things I think you should know and that I would have liked to know. There is NO grill and when were there the oven was broken this made cooking a challenge. The water closet door in the master bathroom does not close, we used the trash can to keep it shut. The doors are tricky to open and hard to lock, not a big deal except for when you are traveling with kids. There are two TV's in the home 1 in the master bedroom and the second in the second floor "kids" room, the room with the bunk beds. I only mention this again if you are traveling with kids that may need to go to bed it becomes difficult for anyone else to watch TV. The railing on the master balcony is very badly rusted and is actually broken at the bottom in some spots. Lastly the hot tub can only be turned on remotely when you text the manager, to turn it on then off later, sort of strange. The manager of the property was very responsive and quick to help with all our needs.

Large home, with Wonderful Outdoor space
The home is ideally situated on a private bay with a great pool and spa area. The only suggestion was to have a TV viewing area downstairs but the game room upstairs was really nice! Heather is fabulous and was so responsive! Definitely check this home out!
