The front door was open and unlocked when we arrived. Host was very responsive when we notified him. Front door is difficult to lock and floors are very cold which is most likely due to the extreme cold they are having in Texas.

Owner is very responsive and friendly. The open floor plan made it easy to sit down and relax a bit before our cruise. The location was very convenient for hitting a few stores and an ATM nearby before we departed. We'd stay here again!
