Dream Spot for Dog Lovers

Loved everything about this property. Little studio apartment on first floor, 2 bedrooms and pullout on 2nd. Booked for 7 days ended up staying 14. The best thing is it was a fenced in big yard that our three dogs got to run around, as the adults watched the sunrise and enjoying the bay view. Neighbors are only on one side, nice lot next door.. Owner was always available if you had a question. Close to all restaurants and bar and yoga studio around the corner with fishing or sun bathing. We always travel with 2 sets sheets to cover furniture. Looking forward to next time. Niko

Great stay in San Leon

My family and I wanted to head south to be closer to the water while our son attended space camp at the Johnson Space Center when we discovered this great place just 11 miles from our son's camp. Mike was great when we asked to extend our stay and super helpful when we had questions and asked for recommendations about where to eat in the area. Watching the sunrise each morning was a highlight of our stay. Overall I would recommend this place for a family - even our French bulldog had a great time. Definitely check this one out.

Clean, comfy and peaceful!

The home was very clean and had all the necessities that you desire when traveling (fully stocked kitchen, dish soap, laundry soap, trash bags). The beds were very comfy and the home had plenty of space. The location was really relaxing and we enjoyed watching the boating activities on the bay from the deck. We have family in the area and we won't hesitate to book this home again.

We picked this house because we wanted a little slice of heaven getaway with our closest friends/family to enjoy our wedding. We got married on the little beach just down from the house and everything was just beautiful. 100% would rent this home again. Absolutely beautiful views from the balcony and just a beautiful house 😳
