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.

Fabulous Trip

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.

Peaceful Retreat

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!

Incredible lake stay

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.

Great lake get-away

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. Would definitely visit again. Thanks for a great week!

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!

Vacation spot

This place was amazing! Lots of room, beautiful lakeside view. Gazebo to sit under. It was the best place to visit with my son and his family. There was fishing on the pier, a boat dock and the kids loved swimming righ off the backyard. The house had all the furnishings we needed. The neighborhood was nice and everyone we met friendly. I won’t stay anywhere else when we come to visit. Our host supplied linens, soaps, dishes. I could go on and on. You won’t go wrong choosing this place

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

Family getaway

This is a beautiful property on lake Houston. The sunsets were amazing. Easily accommodated five adults and a baby. Not to far from any events around Houston. The only thing we missed was a hairdryer but it wasn’t a necessity. We did some grocery shopping the first night there to ensure we had breakfast necessities. It would have been nice to have some coffee there so we didn’t have to go to the store that first night. Overall it is an amazing place and we will certainly be staying again

Overall, we had a great stay at this waterfront home in Indian Shores. It was exactly what we neede

Pro’s: The owner (Steve) is great to work with and very knowledgeable about fishing that area. You will catch fish from the dock – depending on the time of year will likely dictate their size. There were no neighbors when we were there so it was quiet. The house has a great view and the deck/gazebo is really nice too. There is a community pool for use but the day we went to use it there was an event (family reunion). The house is well equipped and has great Wi-Fi. Windows in the front room give way to a beautiful view of the lake and sunsets. Con’s: If you are sensitive to airplane traffic this could be a problem in the early mornings. The planes are not extremely low but still could be a problem for some. This could be a Pro or a Con - One of the bedrooms is not connected to the main house. Perfect for a second couple but not if you have small kids. Although the dock is amazing, the roof makes it difficult for a novice fisherman/woman to cast a fishing pole. Great dock if you are bringing a boat. I realize it’s difficult to find a home on a lake but we drove 4+ hours to get there and feel it is just bit overpriced for the age of the home when you add in fees, etc. Don’t ask me to take garbage out to the curb if your charging me a cleaning fee.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Huskey

Having lived in 3 countries and traveled the world, I can appreciate this house as being special.

Why they chose this property

The sunsets last for 2 hours. Featured in Better Homes and Gardens, The Houstonian Magazine, and Coldwell Banker Real Estate as one of the Top Custom Homes with a View in Houston. The floor to ceiling windows offer panoramic views that are unmatched. Lake Houston is the drinking reservoir for Houston. As a result, there are virtually no boats on the lake. It really does feel like your own personal lake.

This was the very 1st house on Lake Houston and the 2nd pier on Lake Houston. My grandfather got the first choice of lots. He chose 2.5 lots with the best sunsets.

This house has been in my family since I was born. I have spent thousands of hours fishing this property and installing fish habitat.

What makes this property unique

The View! Floor to ceiling windows in the living room. Terrazzo floors and a deck that surrounds the house. The Gazebo is perfect for meals. The privacy of the lot, the lake, and the serenity pond all serve as anti-stress.
