What a beautiful property! Our family enjoyed the amazing water views right from the back porch while sitting on the swings and hammock. The house layout is cool and unique with plenty of room for all. The kitchen is very updated with an abundance of appliances to use. Should we visit this area again, we would definitely choose to stay here.

Amazing location close enough to most attractions in Houston, and just far enough away to be relaxing and quiet. The view in the back yard is perfect and great for bird watching as well. The home was clean and a fantastic way to end along evening. The host is amazing and communicated/responded very quickly. Check in was exceptionally easy as well!!! Great stay if you plan on visiting the Houston area.

We had an awesome stay at Bayshore for our Spring Break. The house was clean and roomy. We enjoyed the hot tub and watching ships go by in the distance. We even saw dolphins one morning! The house is close to lots of amenities and activities. It was a great home-base for our Houston-area adventures. Steven was very helpful! We had a issue with VRBO when we had the change dates but Steven was really great about working with us to get it resolved. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this property! The home was spotless—everything was incredibly clean and well-maintained, which made us feel comfortable right away.One of our favorite parts was the patio. It had plenty of lounge chairs for everyone to relax, and the jacuzzi tub was the perfect way to unwind after a long day. The backyard was such a unique bonus—we were able to catch fish right from the property, which made the experience even more special.Our family had an amazing time here. We shared a lot of fun moments and created memories we’ll definitely cherish for years to come.The owner was also wonderful—very responsive, helpful, and courteous throughout our stay, which made everything smooth and stress-free.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay at this house! Clean, comfortable, great views of the bay; so relaxing. You can see the water while cooking in the well provisioned kitchen and from almost every room in the house. The host communicates very well and is truly concerned with ensuring a pleasant stay. We caught fish from the shore while barbecuing on the back porch. It is in a quiet neighborhood, we slept very well and enjoyed many of the local restaurants and sites. All in all a wonderful experience.

My daughter got married we rented this Airbnb so she can have plenty of fighting to get ready and snap some awesome photos. We would’ve loved to use the hot tub, but there was a storm prior to us. Arriving in the hot tub was not available nor was the dryer. We figure out how to cook butter overall grape.
