The house was very clean and smelled nice. Easy check-in and out. Nice tennis court and lake to fish in. The town was walking distance from the house, very convenient. Very family-friendly, would definitely come here again!

The hosts thought of everything a guest would need from birthday candles to toothbrushes. The host immediately contacted me when a storm caused a temporary powers outage. We enjoyed walking to downtown Bellaire multiple times. We will rent and his home again.
