Truly enjoyed my stay here! Location, location location, was the best! The house is so quaint & cozy. The communication with the owner was prompt, which i really appreciated. Will stay here again.
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The house was extremely comfortable and the host was amazing. We really enjoyed the access to amenities. The neighborhood is a great place to walk, and if you like to get out, you can easily walk to for a meal or just take a stroll through the neighborhood.
This was a charming little house in the beautiful Heights neighborhood of Houston. It was tucked on a quite little street, but a short hop to lots of restaurants on White Oak street including an awesome gelato place. Owner was really responsive and the kitchen was well stocked.
Place was perfect for our 6 week stay with two dogs. Close to everything. Great AC for Houston summer and nice swing on front porch. Property owners were the best. Would have stayed longer if it was not booked at end of our period.
This place is settled perfectly in a beautiful neighborhood! So much private outdoor space that my dogs absolutely loved! The interior is decorated and tech wired phenomenally! The entire stay was so homey and comfortable, we didnât want to leave! Hosts are amazing and provide all the necessities plus some! Couldnât have asked for a better place to stay! The fur babies loved it as did the human guests!
We had a wonderful time staying in Gingerbread Casa over the holidays, for a full 2 months. Our hosts couldn't have been more gracious and helpful, and the house itself is equipped with all anyone could need even for such a lengthy stay. The location is ideal, in the midst of the charming and historic Woodland Heights area, within easy walking distance of dozens of shops, restaurants, parks, and other attractions, and just a short drive to downtown and Houston's wonderful museums. We plan on returning soon and can't imagine staying anywhere else!
We had a great stay at this house! Kitchen had everything needed for cooking in. King bed was very comfy, and we enjoyed the front porch, back patio, and quiet, walkable, dog friendly neighborhood. Location is convenient to shopping, restaurants and many other Houston destinations. Jonathan is very responsive and accommodating. Really enjoyed the holiday lights all over the neighborhood! Thank you, Jonathan!
This was the most amazing experience my family and I could have ever imagined in our relocation to Houston. Jonathan was unequivocally the ultimate to communicate with and took care of every detail you could imagine. Our experience with this property and Jonathan, the owner, was second to none, beautiful house, perfect location great experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Gingerbread house. Everything was great. The house is adorable and everything worked great. We found some radio controlled cars in the dining room and had fun racing them on the driveway. The porch and patio were very nice and relaxing. There is a great coffee shop within one block for morning coffee. Though the coffee maker in the house worked fine. I would definitely like to stay here again and recommended it to all.

This property is within a nice safe neighborhood, this is our first experience with using VBRO and we not have been more pleased. We had just a couple of questions and the manager responded immediately. If you need to travel to Houston we would highly recommend this property. It was within walking distance of a store and coffee shop and the area itself had many interesting individually owned restaurants. It was within a couple of miles of downtown. When we return to Houston we will check to see if this property is available. Felt like home away from home with so many amenities including a full kitchen washer and dryer and anything you could ever need. Highly recommend.
The Comfy & Quiet Bungalow was delightful! My husband and I stayed for a month. The neighborhood is super quiet and yet walkable to coffee shops, restaurants, etc. the neighborhood has lots of trees and sidewalks good for strolling or walking a dog. The home is well appointed with everything you could need in the kitchen and convenient touches throughout such as places to hang coats, towels, mobile device chargers and an in home stereo system. The outdoor space is super good too--a private back deck/patio with a gas grill, fire pit and large patio table for dining. The home also has a private side yard with cafe tables. The beds were very comfy. There was a business nook in the kitchen and I used it almost every day to work from home. Last, but not least, our hosts were super friendly and very responsive to any questions we had. We have stayed in 3 VRBOs in Houston and this is home is our favorite. We will definitely stay here again!
This wonderful home was perfect for my stay in Houston. The Heights is a great area, and this home is in the perfect neighborhood.
The house is very clean, well stocked with necessities, has a beautiful backyard and front porch and side porch areas. I loved the full sized kitchen with wonderful appliances.
The technology in the home is very current. There are at least 2 separate work areas, one with a monitor and printer.
Fortunately, the owner of the home lives close by if something comes up. Jonathan is a great communicator, as well as being extremely kind and a dog whisperer!
The neighbors are very hospitable, as well. Parking is in front of the house, but the neighbors look out for each other and welcome you to park in front of their homes, if needed.
I would absolutely recommend staying in this home and I hope to again the next time I visit.
Jonathan is super attentive and went above and beyond to make sure my stay was perfect (and that my dogs had all they needed too!). The house is charming with up-to-date technology and great amenities like various outdoor seating areas, a really nice grill, and a well-stocked supplies.
I've run across 2 types of VRBO properties--some are designated as rentals in high-tourist areas, and they're slickly decorated and managed by a company. Others feel like you're stepping in someone's home, with more eclectic touches and authentic charm--this is the latter, so you may be trading off on more modern features like huge closets and bathrooms. However, the Heights location cannot be beat, with its residents that embody Texas friendliness and its small-town charm. Kick your feet up on the porch swing and watch the world go by from this charming bungalow with a neighboorhood feel. Jonathan will make sure everything is taken care of exactly to your liking. Highly recommended!
Jonathon is a very gracious host. Anything you need or have questions about he is immediately available. We needed a place to stay for a month when our house sold quickly. This was a perfect interim space to stay. Great location with easy access to freeway and walkable to the park. It is very dog friendly and has a great front patio. We can't thank Jonathon enough for being so wonderful!
The owner was extremely easy to get ahold of, communicate with and went out of his way to ensure our stay was perfect!
I travel often and have stayed at many places but this home was my favorite!
I had an extensive surgery while I was there and had to walk daily - the neighborhood is safe and beautiful for walks!
You will love this Houston home!
My family and I stayed here for two months while our home renovation project finished up and it is well stocked with everything you might need! Jonathan was an excellent host - prompt at answering questions about the house! Located in the best neighborhood in the heights, we enjoyed our walks to nearby coffee shops and green spaces for kids to run around! Neighbors are so friendly too! Thank you Jonathan!
Stayed at Jonathonâs place for a 3 month travel nurse contract with a fellow nurse. It was very easy to make ourselves feel at home and the neighbor was such a great location. We had a couple of things pop up with the house (nothing crisis just small things) and the guys were very helpful and responsive in getting it fixed and sorted out! HIGHLY recommend staying here!
Lovely comfortable home with many extra appointments that made our stay really pleasant. The neighborhood was delightful, convenient to shopping and restaurants. Jonathan was an excellent communicator, always ready to respond to any questions we had. Great internet and state of the art technology throughout the house. We highly recommend this VRBO and would stay again if we are in the area.
Cozy, well appointed house in a safe and friendly neighborhood.
The owner made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Each room had all the things a visitor could wish for and the home is close to great dining options.
The location was perfect, but Jonathan was sooooo welcoming, helpful, and nice!! Probably one of the best hospitalities iâve had with vacation rentals. He was so nice about putting bikes together for my family and I, he made sure our stay was clean & sanitize due to COVID, and he was always a text/phone call away - location was also perfect at Houstonâs family friendly neighborhood Heights area
The property and manager exceeded my expectations: great location, very nice house(it had everything that we wanted and more), lots of street parking, friendly neighbors, professional and friendly manager. My wife, 2 sons home from college and I stayed at the house for over a month and we were very comfortable. There are lots of restaurants and more you can walk to. The house has a very nice back yard with a large grill and table. In the early mornings my wife and I would sit on the front porch swing, drink coffee and read. The manager even loaned us a couple of his bikes that we road to downtown. I'd definitely recommend staying here!
With a lifelong connection to the Houston area, I've been fortunate enough to spend over 28 years doing what I love â caring for people as a professional hairdresser. This journey has not only allowed me to grow as a person but also to develop a passion for property management, thanks to my parents' influence. I find purpose in creating spaces that foster meaningful relationships and memories.
The Houston Heights stands as one of the oldest and most coveted neighborhoods in Houston, earning its reputation as the city's original downtown. Residents and visitors alike appreciate the area's exceptional walkability, with White Oak Park's bike and walking trails a short stroll away. Additionally, the neighborhood is proud to host the highly anticipated annual Christmas celebration, Lights in the Heights, and the distinguished restaurant tour, White Linen Nights, highlighting the area's impressive array of restaurants, many within walking distance from home, including those conveniently located just around the corner on Studewood Street.
I am fortunate to call the detached apartment behind the home my residence, and I am delighted to be able to offer guests the reassurance that comes with knowing that I am always nearby, ready to assist with any needs that may arise, from the mundane to the unexpected, in a timely and considerate fashion.
