*** This house DID NOT flood during Hurricane Harvey *** Make sure you ask that of properties in Houston. Many of them will have mold that you cannot see.

Pier Renovation Completed 12/1/2019
House Renovation Completed 3/1/2019

Surrounding the house is a 1400 square foot deck and large Redwood Gazebo that offer tranquil views. This is the largest deck on Lake Houston. Tranquility is everywhere. A serenity pond, rock waterfall, and lush landscaping make this an oasis. If you’re looking for peaceful surroundings, this is the place to be.

Fully updated and remodeled in 2019, the property grounds are private and wonderfully maintained. A unobstructed panoramic view, a covered gazebo with a pond, and good fishing off a private pier to name a few of the details! Inside the home you will find 4 bedrooms each with comfy beds.

Sitting on an acre, it is the biggest and most secluded lot in Indian Shores. Relax and enjoy the best sunsets on lake Houston from every room of this oasis. Fish from your private dock or utilize the public boat launch. You can even tie your boat up right outside. We consulted with Texas Wildlife to create a fish habitat that is rich in medium to large Catfish, White Bass, Freshwater Drum, and Carp.

Lake stay

We loved the property but it had listed a hot tub which it doesn’t have and that was disappointing. The electrical was out on the gazebo so we couldn’t put a fan out there and that would have made it more enjoyable outside for the sunset. More fans would be a plus! We never did figure out how to get the hot water to work in the kitchen. Thanks to Steve for the information about pulling curtains in the afternoon, it does help.

Wonderful host, the house has all you need in its own quirky, fun way. Love the extra guest room with separate bathroom across the driveway, good for separate but together feel for multiple families or couples. Host was so gracious with his time and communication on everything! Really wonderful stay and the views and lake access could not have been better!

Perfect Getway

We fell in love with this house. Very clean and amenities offered, it went beyond expectations. It is an open layout with windows all around. Beautiful views of the lake layer out in front of you. The owner landscaped so any views of other residents were instead plants and trees giving a secluded feel. Fishing off the dock or sipping your coffee in the gazebo. Rocking gentally in the swing as you watch the waves lap amd the sun set. It was perfection. Close enough to town for a run to the store, but far enough out there is no traffic to disrupt your peace of mind. Our time at the lakehouse will be one of those memories that will be looked upon fondly until we are able to visit again. I strongly suggest if you are reading these reviews, look no further and book it. You will have a wonderful time.

This was a wonderful property for our family to gather and finally hold a memorial for our parents who passed away last year during Covid. The lake, the house, the amenities were all just perfect. The host is super communicative and helpful. Wildlife watching and incredible sunsets every evening made this a spectacular rental. Thank you for everything.

Absolutely Amazing Vacay Home & Fishing!

This large & beautiful home is planted on the side of a lake and has its own pier with great fishing. The sunrise/sunsets are spectacular. Nicely stocked place with all of the amenities, and chatting with the host about fishing was really helpful. We will absolutely be planning on a future visit :) Thanks!

Charlene and Steve were great in providing amazing experienced staying at this property. We enjoyed every aspect of this magical place. My brother in law and my husband enjoyed fishing right on the lake, captured memories to cherished. The views of the lake from the bedrooms, living room, kitchen and dining room was so beautiful. The serene feeling of watching the sunrise and sunset over the lake was breath taking. I will definitely be booking this magnificent place again! Thank you for the memories!

We greatly enjoyed this property and our stay. The views of the lake are wonderful and despite many homes around us, it felt private and secluded. The property owner was great to work with and communication was excellent. It is clear he cares about each family having the perfect stay and was a wealth of information about the area. We even ended up extending our stay by a day. We hope to visit again soon!

Great location on Lake Houston

The house in Indian Shores was exactly what we needed for our overflow guests for a long summer weekend. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for everyone. We had two families with young children staying in the house and the only unexpected issue was the location of the second master suite - it is actually in a separate building across the carport which is a bit awkward for those with young children. We made it work and it was not a showstopper - just something of which to be aware.

We spent a very relaxing week here. My kids (5yo and 8yo) caught their first fish and had a blast. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets and peaceful mornings looking out over the lake. The house is well set up for great views from almost every room. Everything was nice and clean and ready to go. Steve was a great host and quick to provide answers to any questions as well as great tips for enjoying the lake, best fishing, etc. Appreciated the well equipped kitchen and the board games in the front room, as well as the smart TV for easy access to our streaming and music subscriptions.

Great Experience!

The property is five stars in our book! From the spacious lake house to the spectacular views and lake access for swimming and fishing, it's a perfect family gathering place. We loved the house with big picture windows overlooking the lake, but our favorite was the big gazebo with hanging lights. It has a porch swing, so you can look at the lake, plus seating for lots of people. The view - sunrises and sunsets - is fabulous. The owner and property manager were easy to work with and answered any questions promptly. It was a wonderful place for our family gathering!

Not fully as described

The house is large the patio is nice. It is on a lake that is true. There is a pool listed as an amenity but it doesn’t Day that the pool is only available during summer months. We rented for the pool so we can cool off after day or before a day of sight seeing. That is a HUGE let down. The property manager was a good communicator prior to check in and before booking etc. even left us a small fishing pole and life jackets. Which is great BUT then would not answer a single text after we got into he house. Not about e water or why we only had 2 bars of soap for 4 people. No hand soap. 4 rolls of toilet paper for 4 people for 9 days! 3 garbage bags and no more after that. Old and scratched up kitchen stuffs. The house was VERY dusty. The pillows cheap and uncomfortable. Overall I wish we had picked a different house to to stay in. Since there were not amenities available to fully use the house. No little boats no cannoes. The pool not available even though listed as an amenity. We left the house cleaner than we got into it, not great. The views are amazing that’s all
